Sniffer

Sniffers are a new update to Minecraft.

Sniffer; passive

They do not spawn naturally, but they do hatch from eggs. Their eggs are found in the warm ocean ruins in suspicious sand (sand that when you brush, you get an item out of it).

Sniffers dig seeds and natural blocks from the ground, such as moss, grass, podzol, and mud. They are really looking for torchflower seeds and pitcher pods.

You can heal them with torchflower seeds.

You can breed them with a torchflower seed. Sniffers will drop a sniffer egg. Wait five minutes before breeding again. A baby sniffer is called a snifflet.

Snifflets take 40 mins (2 days) to grow up into an adult and will not follow its parent.
