A '''sniffer''' is a [[passive mob]] that does not spawn naturally. It spawns only by hatching from [[sniffer egg]]s. It sniffs for [[torchflower]] and [[Pitcher Plant|pitcher plant]] seeds, seeking and digging out the seeds in [[Dirt (disambiguation)|dirt]], [[Grass Block|grass]], and [[moss block]]s.

== Spawning ==
Sniffers spawn by hatching from [[sniffer egg]]s, which can be found in [[suspicious sand]] from [[warm ocean ruins]]. Sniffers cannot spawn naturally. Breeding sniffers with [[torchflower seeds]] can also result in a sniffer egg being laid as an [[Item (entity)|item]].

== Drops ==
=== On death ===
When killed, adult sniffers drop {{xp|1|3}} [[experience]] points if killed by a player or a tamed [[wolf]].  Snifflets, as with other baby animals, do not drop any experience.
=== Breeding ===
Upon successful breeding, {{xp|1|7}} is dropped.

== Behavior ==
[[File:Digging sniffer.png|thumb|A digging sniffer.]]
Sniffers wander aimlessly, avoiding hazards and obstacles. They occasionally smell their surroundings and track ancient seeds by pressing their nose to the ground. When they find a seed, they sploot<ref>{{Ytl|GYO8KejSodg|Minecraft 1.20: Sniffer Secrets & Cherry Groves|Minecraft|May 14, 2023|t=155}}</ref> and use their noses to dig into the ground until they get [[torchflower seeds]] or a [[pitcher pod]], with an equal chance of digging up either one.

A sniffer can only dig if it is on the ground. Being leashed, in water, tempted with a torchflower seed, panicking or in a boat or minecart prevents the sniffer from digging. The block underneath its head must be diggable and reachable by the sniffer. The head location is defined as 2.25 blocks in front of the center of the body. The sniffer also stores its prior 20 digging locations to prevent subsequent digging at those locations. After sniffing out seeds, an eight-minute cooldown is activated before it can dig again.

The following blocks are diggable by the sniffer:
* {{BlockLink|Coarse Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Grass Block}}
* {{BlockLink|Moss Block}}
* {{BlockLink|Mud}}
* {{BlockLink|Muddy Mangrove Roots}}
* {{BlockLink|Pale Moss Block}}
* {{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Podzol}}
{{IN|java}}, [[data pack]]s can change this list by modifying the <code>minecraft:sniffer_diggable_block</code> [[Tag#Blocks|block tag]].

Sniffers cannot dig on [[mycelium]].<ref>{{bug|MC-260259||Sniffers cannot dig nor find seeds on mycelium|WAI}}</ref>

=== Breeding ===
A player can [[breed]] sniffers by using [[torchflower seeds]] on two sniffers. When two adult sniffers breed, they drop a [[Sniffer_Egg|sniffer egg]], after which the parents have a 5-minute cooldown before they can breed again. Placing a sniffer egg on a moss block doubles its rate of maturation.

==== Healing ====
Sniffers are healed by {{hp|2}} health points each time they are fed a torchflower seed.

=== Snifflets ===
A baby sniffer is called a '''snifflet'''.<ref>{{Mcnet|sniffer-coming-minecraft-120|Once you’ve unearthed your egg, it’s time to help it hatch! I implore you to pay close attention to this part of the process, because you have not lived until you have seen a '''snifflet''' burst out of its shell.}}</ref> They have a bigger head relative to their body than the adult. Snifflets require 48000 [[game tick]]s to grow up into adult sniffers, which is equal to 40 minutes or two in-game days, twice as long as most other baby mobs in the game.

Snifflets cannot dig.

Unlike most baby mobs, snifflets do not follow their adults.<ref>{{bug|MC-260272||Baby sniffers don't follow adult sniffers|WAI}}</ref>

There is an initial lag period between adults growing up and splooting for torchflower seeds or pitcher pods.

== Sounds ==
===''Java Edition''===
Sniffers use the Friendly Creatures sound category for [[Sound#Entity-dependent categories|entity-dependent sound events]].
