I saw a YouTube video of someone playing Minecraft Manhunt with his friends. The player collected a bucket of powdered snow. What is powdered snow in Minecraft, and why would someone playing Minecraft Manhunt want to collect it?

Powdered Snow is a block in Minecraft that was added in the 1.17 update. It can be obtained by using a shovel on a Snow Block, and it can be used for various purposes such as making Snow Golems, and for building and decorating.

In Minecraft Manhunt, players hide from each other, and one player is designated as the hunter. The player who collects the Powdered Snow block could be using it as a tool to hide their tracks or to throw it as a distraction to evade the hunter.

I think you're talking about snowballs. Powdered snow is picked up using a bucket and can't be thrown. Please check which of us is correct.
