Includes a large focus on traversing worlds with enhanced world generation, structures, dungeons, and more for players to find unique loot.

Adds new ores or other raw resources.
Includes quality of life improvements and small tweaks to enhance and customize gameplay.

Description
DESCRIPTION
Better sniffers expands the loot that sniffers can sniff out from the ground. This loot can range from more foliage to a very rare chance of finding ancient debris in the nether. They can also now dig up blocks more than just dirt and its variants. Some items can only be discovered by them in certain biomes, so make sure to travel around and see what treasure awaits you!
It also makes sniffers easier to find by making them spawn naturally in villages. Expect 0-3 sniffers to spawn in a single village.
(This feature can be disabled by running this command: /scoreboard players set SpawnSniffersInVillages sniff 0)
INSTALLATION GUIDE
- go to your saves folder located here on Windows:
C:\Users(your name)\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves
put the zipped file in the data packs folder, and either restart your world or execute /reload
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
-
you can stop sniffers from spawning in villages by running this command:
/scoreboard players set SpawnSniffersInVillages sniff 0and if you change your mind you can re-enable it by running/scoreboard players set SpawnSniffersInVillages sniff 1 -
