how do you even get the sniffer in minecraft
You get a Sniffer by finding a Sniffer egg , not by spawning one naturally. In Minecraft survival, that means using a brush on suspicious sand in a warm ocean ruin until you uncover a Sniffer egg, then hatching it.
How to get one
- Craft a brush.
- Find a warm ocean ruin.
- Brush suspicious sand there.
- Keep going until you get a Sniffer egg.
- Place the egg to hatch it; moss makes it hatch faster.
Extra detail
A Sniffer egg normally hatches in about 20 minutes , or about 10 minutes if it’s placed on moss. Once it hatches, the baby Sniffer is called a Snifflet.
What it’s for
Sniffers dig up special plants like torchflower seeds and pitcher pods , so they’re mainly useful if you want those rare decorative crops.
TL;DR: go to a warm ocean ruin, brush suspicious sand, find a Sniffer egg, and hatch it.
