Minecraft Sniffer Mob: what is it, spawn and release date

The Sniffer is the winner of the Minecraft Mob 2022 vote. Therefore, many players are happy to learn more about him. Be it its behavior, its places of appearance, or even its release date. There are many things that are still not confirmed. So, in this guide, check out everything you need to know about the Sniffer mob in Minecraft.

What is a Sniffer in Minecraft?

The Sniffer is an ancient mob that loves plants. In fact, they can sniff the ground to find seeds that can then be used to grow new plants. The most unusual thing about his demo video was the part about him being able to get some new plants. So it’s safe to assume that with the release of Sniffer, Minecraft may also add some new plants to the game. Since this is just a guess, we cannot confirm what the new plant or flower will be.

How to call or find a sniffer

Sniffers most likely won’t appear in Minecraft. This is because they are an ancient crowd that is supposedly extinct. So now that this mob is added to the game, it will be a rare encounter, especially considering that it has returned from extinction. But what you can do is hatch them from eggs.

You can find Sniffer eggs in underwater ruins, chests to be exact. So make sure you’re well-equipped, because as you go looking for these eggs, there’s a good chance you’ll run into a Drowned Man.

Finally, information on whether two fully grown Sniffers can be crossed is also unknown. We should learn more about them when the mafia is close to release.

When will Sniffer come out?

There is no official release date for the mob, but based on last year’s mob winner, we can expect it to release sometime in June 2023. This is also when Allay came out, the mob vote winner for 2021.
