Sniff Trail - Unique Rideable Sniffer
Sniff Trail lets players ride a Sniffer, guiding it along a path set by a Guiding Torchflower, and it is built for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
A Sniff Station is crafted first. Right-clicking it calls nearby Sniffers and grants them a Trailing effect, after which a rider can steer them. Planting a Guiding Torchflower sets the heading the Sniffer follows, so the path has to be laid out in advance. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, with 1.0.0 as the latest file for each loader. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source.
