Sniffer Update!
Sniffer Update! gives the Sniffer mob plants to dig up in several biomes, plus flowers that brew potions and a few mob effects.
What it does
Sniffers dig up new plants from different biomes, including ancient plants added alongside the vanilla set. Each new plant has its own use, so the additions are meant to make Sniffers more useful than they are in vanilla, where their finds are limited. One flower found in snowy biomes is used to brew a Frostbite potion, and Torchflowers, which give off light, are used to brew an Enraged potion.
The Frostbite effect freezes mobs, and the Enraged effect makes mobs aggressive toward everything around them. The mod also raises the health of Sniffers considerably. A new prickly pear joins the plant set, and a cactus fruit that can be eaten is planned for deserts but is still a work in progress. The mod is Server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it requires Fabric API on Fabric 1.20. Its single Fabric build is 0.1.2 for 1.20, marked as a beta release and published under the MIT License, which is not open source.
