Overview
The sniffer is a walking archaeology tool: it sniffs the ground, digs, and unearths torchflower seeds and pitcher pods, the only source of those two plants after the first egg. It only digs in natural blocks like grass, dirt and moss, never in blocks you placed, so give it a pen of untouched terrain. It is enormous, entirely harmless, breeds on torchflower seeds, and lays an egg that takes real time to hatch.
Sniffer is a passive mob in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. You will need to deal 14 damage — 7 hearts — to kill one. It is worth 3 XP.
