A New use for Powdered Snow

As everyone knows, in 1.17, Minecraft would be adding powdered snow to the game and I thought of a possible use they could have.

Knowing that it would give players and mob a freezing effect I started thinking about cryopreservation and thought maybe powdered snow could be used to stop Hoglins and Piglins from turning into Zoglins and zombified Piglins in the Overworld. This feature is not over-powerd nor does it unbalance the game in my opinion.

Instead, it would promote creativity as players would need to find ways to prevent them from freezing to death in the powdered snow while also making sure they are not out of the powdered snow for too long that they turn into their zombified versions and render their efforts wasted...

    A cool idea, but why would you want to keep Piglins and Hoglins on the overworld?

    hoglins may or may not be of use in the overworld, I am not too familiar with the details...however, you can trade with piglins but not when they are zombified. Some people may find it more convenient to trade in the overworld and I believe some creative ideas can spark from this...

    Not forgetting that the atmosphere in the nether and the overworld is different, so builds will have to change to complement the surroundings too, thus this would most likely give rise to new builds and overall improve gameplay...

    As I said earlier I do not know too much of the intricate details of the game so there may be an attack difference for the hoglin and it's zombified variant, thus there may be people preferring to use the hoglin instead if it was possible for things like mini-games or fun traps in multiplayer worlds. This too also would give rise to more creative ideas...
