MINECRAFT SNIFFER GUIDE - How To Find, Farm, And More

[@ashuraomega7113]

They need to give the sniffer more plants. It's literally the whole point of the sniffer

[@wattlesplays]

100% atleast 2 more

[@brick994]

They do need more plants for the sniffer

Useless and a overhyped mob

[@zahleer]

Useless and overhyped mob. I don't know why the community praises Mojang* for making pointless mobs.

[@liamdraper447]

Would’ve loved it if the sniffers plants were used in brewing Maybe one of the plants gives you haste, and with fermented spider eye it gives mining fatigue, and another one could maybe give you conduit abilities wherever you are in the ocean Or maybe incorporate it into a new block or boss even

[@wattlesplays]

absolutely agree. it sort of feels like they held both plants back just to keep their word on “decorational” 😕

[@SpinosaurusStudios_]

Noted

[@1234wallawalla]

Since moss speeds up the hatching, it would make sense if you could place it on ice or snow to stop it from hatching so you can display it. Also really wish the advancement for finding a sniffer egg was called "Life, uh, finds a way". We're bringing an extinct species back to life and didn't even get a Jurassic Park reference :(

[@cjmedina.24]

Huge missed opportunity

[@spinz5937]

A small tip for using farmers to farm the sniffer plants, trade with a farmer then break its composter, that way it stays a farmer but won't compost the seeds

[@Master_Brutus]

Noted for the future.

[@wattlesplays]

genius!

[@Master_Brutus]

@@wattlesplays automatic Sniffer plant farm possible!!! Now I dont have to pick up the damn seeds anymore

[@realphillipcarter]

BIG GAME IDEAS We need more sniffer plants which are biome specific. Imagine hatching one in a desert and it digs up a different flower. On top of that, the flowers should be consumable like berrys, and provide an effect. Torchflower - Night vision 5 seconds. If you farmed them, this would make them an interesting competitor to night vis potions Pitcher pod - Brew into a potion for extended reach when mining / or eat raw for jump boost 5 seconds Blueberry vines (the unreleased one) - Water breathing 5 seconds. Could be an interesting alternative to water breathing potions Hazy sapling - A strange ancient tree. A new type of sapling that, depending on nearby conditions and blocks, grows into larger versions of modern tree types. For example putting a warped fungus near it would make it grow into warped fungus. Putting cherry leaves near it would make it grow to a big cherry tree. This is future-proof as the sapling could unlock an entirely med wood type in a future update.

[@MASIPAD]

Dude, you should work at mojang😮😮

[@realphillipcarter]

@@MASIPAD I wish! I've only done RPGmaker games thus far, and Minecraft maps haha. But no coding. Thank you though it means a lot!

[@MASIPAD]

@@realphillipcarter 👍👍👍👍

[@jujoya]

But 5 seconds aren't competitors to 8min potions. Maybe early game, but the trouble to find them isn't really early game friendly (well, could be). 1min would be balanced ig

[@colle_slaw]

14:00 if you hate the sound of minecart operations another option is to use mud as your sniffer farm floor and just line hoppers underneath all connecting to one chest - because mud is just under a full block height and is a "sniffable" block, it works just the same without the loud minecart noises :)

[@colle_slaw]

I did this for my sniffer farm and ohhh boy the profits

[@wattlesplays]

100% yes!!

[@RosileeJe]

When I was first looking for Sniffer eggs I had to travel a couple thousand blocks to find a new ocean, but thought they'd be in the chest and not the sand lol. After like 5 or 6 ruins with no luck I finally just googled it to doublecheck. Had to go find the materials to make a brush, then went back to the very first ruin and found 2 eggs immediately! Sure would have saved myself some time if I looked it up first but I got there eventually lol

[@TheGreatOwlMaster]

7:38 Hold up, the sniffer magically "grew up" in the same clip where you have a diamond sword and a sniffer spawn egg in your hotbar

[@moekitsune]

I love the Sniffer, not every new addition needs to be game changing.

[@sornehdoty6691]

but every mob should still be useful. Sniffer is quite literally useless

[@moekitsune]

@@sornehdoty6691 Decorative flowers are a use.

[@firebladeepicdude]

Very educational and useful guides ngl

[@wattlesplays]

ty 🫡

[@brick994]

Oh it was so incredibly amazing! So I made a new features that I had no idea existed. I'm so happy about all the changes

[@BooksMusicMe17]

I was so hoping they'd give the sniffers collision so their backs could be used as moving platforms to jump from or "ride" on, since they're huge anyway. Its disappointing that they don't even have any niche use like that.

[@2flashy4you]

Pig:oink oink Sniffier:leave the sniffing to the professional

[@geetanshgohlan]

The only sad thing About sniffers is that you cant put them in a boat or raft. My sniffer climbed a fricking mountain and doesnt want to live with me 😂😂.

[@jcofortco]

Ohhh I didn't know that! That's good to know so it forces me to wait til I get home to play with that egg vs. wanting to see it hatch as soon as I find it. 😉

[@jujoya]

So the solution is to make them unable to move 💀 Why not use fences? Or make a zoo/sanctuary?

[@geetanshgohlan]

@@jujoya tbh , i actually forgot about it after i hatched it from its egg because i just trapped the snifflet in a raft. But when he grew into a sniffer , he broke the raft and went far away and when i was exploring my world , i found it on top of a mountain behind my house and just didnt bring it back home 😂💀. Now that i have an elytra , i will get another one because that sniffer is just gone

[@CandyStockings]

The sniffer is so cute!! 😸🩷

[@LKnivesGaming]

Wow, that's pretty cool of Mojang making liking this video part of Sniffer husbandry.

[@DaltonHBrown]

I had hoped the "ancient plants" would include new crops. It'd be awesome to have a new three block tall crop like corn or beans. THen we could make new foods like tacos or three sisters stew.

[@thekansaijorgedudeproducti6896]

Sniffer still Being Invisible 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@cae92]

I also have that bug

[@j-robspoketalk8054]

I enjoy the everything series. Another great entry !

[@Techdawg77]

Waddles is the hardest worker in Minecraft!

[@LorenzoFrancisco]

You got some timings backwards. It takes 20 minutes for the Sniffer egg to hatch (10 on Moss), and 40 minutes from Snifflet to Sniffer.

[@nickwilcox5414]

If you hatch a sniffer will it stay in that area or do you have to make a pen for it

[@0dumbduckie053]

You have to make a pen

[@abengkyu]

May I request for 3 minecraft guide videos in a week?😀

[@meleamascioli7013]

Can you find the sniffer in bedrock yet? I can’t find anything about it except from Reddit.

[@2nd-place]

This screenshot for the thumbnail looks like a mod. In 2021 nobody would guess this was future vanilla. I feel like Mojang is losing their vanilla feel. And that’s not a bad thing either. I love it. It’s time Minecraft expanded more and started feeling more whimsical or magical or exotic in more colorful and interesting ways.

[@wattlesplays]

thats actually what i was thinking while making the thumbnail actually!

[@Pand0rasAct0r_]

If it was a modded creature it would be useful. They release so many new things but the majority is useless and doesnt do much for the game. This update is just caves and cliffs part 3.

[@BlueCameNext]

i agree, i was just talking about that with a friend yesterday because he hasnt played minecraft since 2015ish and thought we added a bunch of plugins. he likes everything except the phantoms

[@jujoya]

Magical always was, but yes its a very unique mob. Actually the second passive fantasy mob (after Strider)

[@jujoya]

​​@hollyh888 caves and cliff was awesome 🤡

[@Beepers559]

Imma be honest, kinda wish the sniffer could find seeds that served a more utility kind of use rather than just more decoration, just feels like copper but it walks around and looks like a deformed buffalo

[@vape_bruh4215]

I made a sniffer farm the same day of the update on bedrock using moss and had no problems, didn’t know about that.

[@troywainio7405]

Would it be cruel to make it so you can put the sniffer egg in a furnace to boil it or something and that would keep it from hatchin?

[@wattlesplays]

🫣🫣🫣

[@BooksMusicMe17]

I thought you could use a redstone circuit on a timer to break and replace it at regular intervals so wouldn't but I looked it up and the eggs get moved rather than broken by pistons so I don't even know how you would do it.

[@haydnrogan6789]

That farmers small act of rebellion gives me hope.

[@torterratortellini6641]

10:29 the brown dye makes it look like the sniffer pooped.

[@MattTOB618]

1:46 You can also feed a dolphin a raw cod or salmon, and it'll start heading towards the nearest underwater ruin (it may take a couple fish to reach it, since it runs out fairly quickly, and you'll need to be quick in order to keep up, because they're REALLY fast). 2:42 The Frost Walker enchantment also negates the magma block's damage. Also, the bubble column doesn't restore the Turtle Helmet's Water Breathing effect, so you'll have to resurface if you want that. 8:37 Notice: holding a Torchflower Seed (AKA tempting it with food) will also cause it to stop digging (at least on Bedrock Edition; I can't say for sure on Java).

[@MaMaTArtlife]

Wattles, This was great information, there was a few things i didn't know. I have a weird question about the sniffer function. Can a sniffer still dig up seeds if you name tag it Dinnerbone? All other mobs can still function and do their intended jobs or functions in the game upside down. However, because the sniffer digs down into the ground, would it still be able to do its intended function being upside down? Would love your insight

[@wattlesplays]

it can!! i shouldve thrown that in the video!

[@jezeniawarmsley6709]

I sooooo need to know how that looks backwards lol

[@MaMaTArtlife]

@wattlesplays i name tagged one on a server, we have watched it for almost an hour, and it is not doing anything but walking around. That is why I am asking you, I'd love to see a video about it. Were on day three now of having our dinnerbone sniffer, i have yet to see it do its intended job. Thanks for the comment back

[@MaMaTArtlife]

@jezeniawarmsley6709 It's hilarious, his little feet just wiggling all over. I'm hoping he can still function, i name tagged it as a practical joke on the owner of our server. Joe (Server Owner) loves it. However, is still waiting to see it do it's digging. Dinnerbone is the hit of the server.

[@razoren]

@@MaMaTArtlife Has it sniffed up any seeds yet? I have a few sniffers on my friends' server named "silenced" (server plugin stops them from making noise) that are struggling to farm. At first, they didn't give me anything at all. I expanded the farm and they worked for a little bit, but now they're back to doing nothing and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with nametags

[@JDRSA-o9v]

thanks saved me a lot of time i was just looking for trail ruins

[@BrotherHercules01]

extra tip in the ocean, bring doors, you can use doors to breath. in fact I've been using this method to explore ocean caves even.

[@wattlesplays]

smart!!

[@Thepetsimgamer]

[@danktoastiekins9341]

They seriously missed out on the opportunity to make the torch flower give off light...

I found 7 sniffer eggs last night so im here to see how they work

[@YTvibekiller]

Bet dropping a like before hatching the egg

[@dapkv2514]

Sniflet is my new favorite work

[@ThisOldSkater]

7:58 Eehhh, I don't know if it is totally pointless to take out a sniffer. For me at least, sniffers are kinda laggy. Might not want to set up your sniffer farm in your spawn chunks or you may regret it. There's only one way to "turn off" a sniffer farm if you're having lag issues because of it.

[@zahleer]

I'm gonna kill it no doubt. Such a useless mob at the moment.

[@Greeeyt]

I wonder what fried sniffer egg omelette tastes like?

[@arlfiftyfourtd8132]

Did Minecraft 1.20 give an enchanted golden apple more of a use since enchanted golden apples are required to survive looking for a netherite upgrade template with full protection IV golden armor?

[@bigmoose2468]

Man I'm guessing the end update is coming soon. but I really want a enchanting update add new enchantments and upgrade some enchantments. Upgraded enchantments example: sharpness 7 and protection 8. Example for new enchantments: "grab" for a shulker but u have to name the shulker off a block and say u named your shulker deepslate and put on the grab enchantment it will pick up deepslate. They Could change the name of the enchantment I made but whatever I just want this specific enchantment and for them to add an upgrade to sharpness and protection

[@jezeniawarmsley6709]

I think that may be too op seeing as they just added the warden to be a harder mob to kill. I'm waiting for more cooking options or different buffers on food like if you use kelp for sushi it should help you someway under water or potato stew will keep you full longer but if you eat too much of it gives you slowness because your too full to do anything. Lol

[@AshleyCha-t2w]

Mojang needs to give the sniffer the flowering vines that was leaked.

[@bmcavazos91]

Would love to actually find this dude and the relic disc but both sometimes are completely bugged on bedrock version and aren't included in the loot tables. My world included, no relic disc or sniffer (dug up 6 trail ruins, found all armor trims, and pottery shards, searched multiple ocean ruins both small and large as I live near the ocean biomes and no egg.)
