What do Minecraft sniffers do?
Besides beating out the tuff golem and rascal in mob votes, the sniffer has some other handy skills—and an unusual method of discovery.
Unlike most of Minecraft’s cast of reputable mobs, the sniffer is from an ancient era and no longer spawns naturally. Instead, you’ll have to use the new Minecraft archaeology feature to brush off suspicious sand until you find your very own sniffer egg. Mojang has also tipped us off that you can find eggs in underwater ruins, so keep an eye out for them there too. Once you have the egg, you'll need to Yono all app place it in the world and be patient for it to hatch. You can speed this up by placing it on top of a moss block, if you're in a bit of a hurry.
Once you’ve got a sniffer, they’re a passive mob that spends a lot of time wandering around or competing with the Minecraft camel for the derpiest sitting stance. Besides that, if you can befriend one, Mojang has said that they’ll sniff out and dig up ancient and rare seeds for you to grow. So far, sniffers can dig up torchflower seeds and pitcher pods for you to grow. We also know that you can breed the sniffer with torchflower seeds, which is rather convenient of them.
