Better than Sniffers

The data pack changes survival rules so that movement and resource gathering take more effort. The jump height is set to exactly one block, players can wall run for a short distance, and a player who grabs the edge of a block above air can press shift and jump to climb up. A high fall is also a risk. Pebbles can be collected, and hitting stone with them has a 50% chance to yield flint. Flint can be broken off leaves to obtain sticks, which gives access to basic tools.

The pack also adds a knife made from available materials, including flint, that cuts ferns and grass for plant fiber and string, though the chance is relatively low. Progress is tracked through advancements, and the author recommends checking them regularly to see what is next. Because the mod is a data pack, it is listed for the Data pack platform and the Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt loaders, with the latest file for 26.1.2 and game versions 1.21 – 26.1.2.

The server needs the data pack, while players may add the matching resource pack for the texture changes. Joining a server that runs it needs no client install. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its source code and issue tracker are linked publicly, and the latest release is the only one supported.
