Stackable Powder Snow

Although obtaining powder snow with a bucket is unique, it does cause a problem of each block taking up one slot. Every other block is stackable, and powder snow should be no different.

My suggestion would be to craft four "Powder Snow Buckets" in a 2x2 grid to get four "Powder Snow Blocks". (Buckets would be returned.)

These blocks would be stackable to 64, to make storage and transportation easier. You could place the blocks on the ground, like any other block, but they would still only be able to be picked up using a bucket.(No shovel, silk touch, etc.)

This recipe would be in addition to current features, so you could still place snow buckets, and the method of obtaining powder snow would remain unchanged. This would only provide a way to stack powder snow.

    You could have Powder Snow buckets have a bar indicating how many blocks it has, although that may be better for powder snow layers

    If Powder Snow was like a liquid then it would make sense for it to only hold 1 block

    Having Powder Snow be a liquid would also add some interesting mechanics. For example, snow blocks could turn into powder snow blocks, similar to how ice turns into water. The powder snow would then flow down the mountains, creating a sort of avalanche. They could even turn back into solid blocks once they stop moving

    I saw another post which I liked, which was that the block could be obtained by mining it with silk touch
