Biome Sniffer
by ctkrocks
Biome Sniffer lets a sniffer locate biomes, with a Wandering Trader offering the items needed to use it.
What it does
A sniffer can be used to find a nearby biome. Each search moves it about 50 blocks closer in a cardinal direction, so a player can follow the trail step by step. The server must run the mod, while players may add it or leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 1.0.1+mod for 1.21.1 as the latest build, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Biome location with sniffers
A sniffer locates biomes on request, giving a direction to follow instead of random exploration.
Stepwise movement
Each use moves the sniffer roughly 50 blocks toward the target along a cardinal direction, so the search narrows gradually.
Wandering Trader items
Many of the items needed for the feature can be bought from a Wandering Trader for one emerald each.
