Build /summon commands with custom NBT for every vanilla mob — baby variants, equipment, colors, and mob-specific options.

Run /summon from an operator’s chat, a command block, or the server console. Not every internal NBT field is covered — this generates the commonly-used ones for each mob.

How to Use the Snow Golem Summon Generator

  1. Type snow golem into the search box (or leave the default – this page opens straight to the Snow Golem panel).
  2. Check No Pumpkin (derp face) if you want it to spawn bare-headed, showing its plain snow-block face instead of the carved pumpkin.
  3. Leave the box unchecked for a normal snow golem that spawns wearing its pumpkin like the crafted version always does.
  4. Use the shared fields above (position, custom name, health, tags) if you want to place or personalize it further.
  5. Copy the generated /summon command and paste it into a command block, the server console, or an operator’s chat.

Command Syntax & NBT Reference

The base command is /summon minecraft:snow_golem ~ ~ ~ {NBT}. This tool fills in the {NBT} portion for you:

  • Pumpkin:0b – removes the carved pumpkin from the golem’s head, exposing the plain snow-block “derp face” underneath. The tag is only written when the checkbox is on; a normal crafted golem always has a pumpkin, so leaving the box unchecked omits the tag entirely and the golem spawns wearing one, matching default behavior.

Every other part of a snow golem’s behavior – throwing snowballs at hostile mobs, taking damage in warm/desert/savanna biomes, and leaving a trail of snow layers as it walks over snowy or grass blocks (in versions where that applies) – is built-in vanilla AI and isn’t something this generator’s NBT can toggle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a summoned snow golem without a pumpkin still throw snowballs?

Yes. The pumpkin is purely cosmetic – Pumpkin:0b only changes what renders on its head. A pumpkin-less golem still targets and pelts hostile mobs with snowballs exactly like one wearing a pumpkin.

Will this snow golem take damage in the desert or a warm biome?

Yes, and this generator doesn’t add an option to prevent it. Snow golems take continuous damage in biomes with a warm/dry temperature (deserts, badlands, warm oceans, jungles, and similar) regardless of the pumpkin setting. If you need it to survive there, place it under a roof or in a biome that doesn’t apply that damage instead.

Can I give this snow golem armor or make it hold an item?

No – snow golems don’t have equipment slots in vanilla, so there’s no helmet or hand-item field here. The pumpkin toggle is the only appearance option that exists for this mob.

How is this different from summoning an Iron Golem?

Iron Golems are a separate, much tankier utility mob built from iron blocks and a pumpkin, meant to fight off hostile mobs at melee range to protect villagers or a player. Snow Golems are fragile ranged attackers built from snow blocks. See the Iron Golem generator in Related Tools below.
