Minecraft wiki entry for Snow_Golem, associated text: Creating a snow golem requires the player to stack two snow blocks, then place a pumpkin‌[Bedrock Edition only], a carved pumpkin, or a jack o'lantern on top. A dispenser may also be used to place the pumpkin. The building pattern also works when arranged sideways or upside-down, as long as the pumpkin is the last block placed. In Java Edition, the player can also place the pattern in any order with an uncarved pumpkin, then use shears on the pumpkin to create a snow golem.
