Hellion's Sniffer+
by HellionGames
Hellion's Sniffer+ expands the Sniffer mob with new riding and chest behaviors, new plants and a cave biome called the Timeless Grotto.
What it does
Sniffers can be saddled and ridden, and they can carry chests. A Sniffer with an equipped chest places the seeds it digs up into that chest. The mod also adds several plants for Sniffers to dig up, among them Ivy, Stone Pine Trees and Fiddleferns, plus a new wood set. Torchflowers now emit light.
The Timeless Grotto is a new cave biome that houses these additions. The mod is built on Hellion's API, which must be installed alongside it on every loader. Hellion's Sniffer+ runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across four game versions, 1.20 – 1.21.1, and the code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
