Description

Sniffer Overhaul - is a Vanilla+ mod that adds the ability to partially tame a Sniffer.
Specifically, using a Pitcher pod, the player can tame a Sniffer and then equip a saddle and chests on it.
A small customization feature has also been added: if you take any of the 16 types of carpets and right-click on the tamed Sniffer, that rug will be placed on it. If you don’t like the rug, you can change it at any time in the mob’s inventory. Also, if you right-click on the Sniffer and feed it a block or item from the biome (not all will work), it will take on a different skin texture
The Sniffer has a much larger storage than a donkey - 25 slots.
A unique mechanic has also been added to the Sniffer: a biome and structure locator.
If you take one of the 21 items from the list below to search for in any crafting slot and place a fishing rod next to it (it doesn't matter where), you will receive one of the 21 fishing rods with the item you're searching for.
!IMPORTANT!
To switch the Sniffer to manual control mode, you need to right-click it again with any "item on a stick" from the mod. It works like a toggle: 1st right-click – the Sniffer searches for the corresponding biome or structure 2nd right-click – the Sniffer is controlled by the player
Below is a list of items and what they search for:
- soul sand - search ancient city
- terracota - search badlands
- bamboo - search bamboo jungle
- birch log - search birch forest
- pink petals - search cherry grove
- dark oak_log - search dark forest
- gravel - search deep ocean
- sandstone - search desert pyramid
- sand - search desert
- red tulip - search flower forest
- ice - search ice spikes
- melon slice - search jungle
- mossy cobblestone - search jungle pyramid
- mud - search mangrove swamp
- iron ingot - search mansion
- brown mushroom - search mushroom fields
- dirt - search plains
- acacia_log - search savanna
- snowball - search snowy taiga
- vine - search swamp
- sea_pickle - search warm ocean
