Sniffin'
by MSF
Sniffin' adds four decorative plants that a Sniffer digs up in Minecraft's 1.20.1 worlds, and the mod is built for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The plants come from the Sniffer mob, which digs them out while it walks around. Two of the four are exclusive to this mod and are not found in vanilla. Plants can be tall and grow taller with bonemeal, while a vine-type plant changes its look depending on whether it sits at the bottom or top of a block. Environment is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, and the MIT License applies to the code without it being open source.
Key features

A tall plant grows even taller when bonemeal is applied to it.
Position-dependent vine
A vine-type plant looks different depending on whether it sits at the bottom or top of its placement.

How it compares
Mushroom Island Plants adds plant decoration for Forge only, with client and server needed, under All rights reserved. Tall Flower Pots is server-side only like Sniffin', but targets Fabric and Quilt, so it does not run on Forge or NeoForge.

What the author says
We are wasting so much time to craft a brush, then find ocean ruins, find a sniffer egg, then wait for it to hatch just for it to dig up 2 exclusive plants.. This mod makes Sniffer a little more worth it, by adding 4 new exclusive plants!
