What it does

Sniffer eggs placed as decoration keep their shape and do not hatch, so builds using them stay intact. The change applies on the server, so only the server needs the mod while players join without installing it. Fabric API is required, and files are published for Fabric and Quilt for game versions 1.20 – 1.21.11, with snapshot builds available.

Key features

  1. Placed eggs stay whole

    Sniffer eggs in the world no longer crack or hatch, so they remain usable as decorations.

  2. Craftable sniffer eggs

    Sniffer eggs can be crafted shapelessly, and the crafted sniffer spawn egg yields the mob when used.

  3. Server-only install

    Only the server runs the change, and players connecting to it need nothing extra.
