Make snow golem throw ice balls instead of snow balls

Snow golems currently serve as nothing, but niche ambiance for snow themed builds and as a way to farm snow, when not near a biome that can produce it.

I propose that snow golems' current snowballs should be replaced with the newly introduced ice balls to strengthen their defensive utilities.

I'm imagining why snow golem's dealt no damage (aside from blazes) before was due them using snow balls, which are meant to be items that are mainly for having fun and some minigame incorporation.

However now that we have a thrown snow-adjacent projectile, it would make for the perfect opportunity to improve the snow golems.

 

Specifically "improve", i don't think we need a dedicated new form/mob or upgrade for them due to their already REALLY niche use cases that i mentioned prior.

  Make an ice golem as a separate mob?
  
  There as uses for the snow golem not dealing damage, like provoking aggression from a mob that you font want to kill.
  It is used in farms and minigames.
