That would simply mean that snowballs would do 1/4 heart of damage, which I disagree to. Just set up a proper sentry turret to lure the mobs into a trap.

I don't see how it's a "waist". You currently can't have much of a winter winderland using the snowmen since mobs get drawn right to them and kill them.
Let's surround my house in snowmen and chill in my house while other things kill for me, sounds fun? I don't think so, abusefest.
There are easy, perpetual ways to kill things already. Snowmen, on the other hand, don't last forever, and creepers blow the ground snowmen are on to smithereens.
Let me make my house a pyramid and surround it with snow golems.
Multiplicatively the damage would be enormous.
Let me make my house surrounded by a lava moat. Or a water moat designed so that mobs can't get out. Or a ring of fire, or a wall of cacti. None of those require redesigning a house. If someone bothers to completely redesign their house, figure out how to situate tons of snow golems, and replace them constantly because of kills by skeletons, don't you think it should be better than the much easier methods? Even then, its not.
The only benefit of killing stuff outside your house is drops anyway (there's never any danger inside the house if lit correctly), and those can be more easily obtained by a mob grinder.

The issue with this is that snow golems have an aggro effect that no other house defense has. I've had a cactus house, a lava moat, I even have pressure plates spanning around one of my houses waiting for mobs to step on them and get shot at. All of these have given me zero items(some for obvious reasons). I tried making a mob grinder once but no mobs spawned in it x.x

They dont make any damage but a 1/4 heart of damage would be good :smile.gif:
Right now they do 0 damage.
they do nothing. absolutely nothing.
