Patch history
Snowflakes are one of four consumables that can be used to increase capacity, with the first being the, the second being the, and the third being the. Snowflake and are the only consumables that directly grant buff(s) to all players in the server. Before March 1, 2021, the snowflake description claimed that it would melt after Beesmas. After Beesmas 2020 ended, the additional message was changed to "Melts this week - use them up fast!". Snowflake's buff, unlike many other item buffs, does not contain its own name. Instead its buff is called "Cool Breeze". This may be because snowflake is not being the only source of the buff, as it can also be obtainable from Snowglobe Shake ability token which is generated from bees equipped with beequip. From using the snowflakes alone, it required at least 129 snowflakes to attain 100% Cool Breeze buff. This is because the buff decreases while the snowflakes are being used. However, multiple players using snowflakes could have sped up the process, decreasing the minimum needed. Attempting to use a snowflake after Beesmas will prompt the message, "The Snowflake melts immediately...", thus, making them useless outside of Beesmas. For any Beesmas before 2024, the only way to see snowflakes after Beesmas was to keep them in the hotbar at the bottom of the screen. If removed from the hotbar, players could no longer see their current number of snowflakes, as they were hidden from their inventory, although a player still had them until Onett wipes it next Beesmas.
