Sniffing and Smithing
by Jeremy3463
Sniffing and Smithing adds Sniffonium, an endgame smithing material built around the Sniffer mob, for crafting new tools and armor.
What it does
Sniffonium is an endgame material made from Netherite, and it is combined with Netherite ingots at a Smithing Table through a Sniffonium Upgrade. Sniffonium Ingots are obtained that way, and the Snifferium material is an earlier stage that drops from Sniffers. Sniffers can yield zero to two units per kill, and an egg recipe is included to speed up gathering.
Templates for Snik and Sniffonium upgrades are crafted from Snifferium pieces, Sticks, Gold Ingots and Netherite Scraps, and they can be copied to make more templates. Snik is a new stick made from Sniffonium. The new tools and armor have 3031 durability, and the axe deals 10 damage. The mod adds a new mob from Minecraft 1.20. The mod runs on both client and server, so every player and the server need it installed. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for game versions 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.6 and 1.21.1, and the code is all rights reserved.
