The Sniffer in Minecraft is probably one of the most underused mobs in the blocky world. These mobs do not spawn naturally, players need to find eggs to spawn them. This process makes it difficult to find the sniffer, but that’s not all. These creatures do more than just move around and dig for seeds.

The rarity and niche use cases of sniffers make finding one not worth the effort. However, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have potential.

one minecraft Player u/Axoladdy posted some images on the game’s subreddit showing how sniffers can be used in creative ways to improve biomes, as well as new ones. A user gave an idea for a rare biome that would look simple at first glance, but would have some deeper secrets.

When players add sniffing creatures there, the area’s landscape changes, with more exotic plants, flowers, and crops appearing. Developers can also allow the newly added golden dandelions to grow abundantly in this biome. The original poster also adds that sniffers can mine more frequently in this biome.

u/40hrPianist says this is a great idea. u/Abe_Odd replied, pointing out everything the idea involves, including using underused creatures, improving their use, making exploration better, and The environment feels more energeticand the best part is, this idea can be implemented with just a few simple changes.

u/PC_KURCZ4K mentioned that this is the best concept they’ve seen in a while. u/Sharpiebrowe replied that this concept makes the sniffer feel like a central part of the game world. The problem with the Sniffer is that it doesn’t offer any huge benefits, has no specific biomes to live in, and feels completely cut off from the blocky world.

Better updates make Minecraft more immersive

There are many elements in Minecraft that feel underused, including sniffer mobs. Thankfully, Mojang Studios has started improving the game and making it more immersive after the update system was reorganized. Rather than adding some obscure new feature that barely fits the game, the developers are making what’s already there in the game better.

For example, last year Mojang Studios made some small changes that had a pretty big impact on the gameplay. Make craftable saddles, add Happy Ghasts, new hostile mobs, and add Installable underwater creatures;All of these updates greatly improve the Minecraft gaming experience.
