The 1.20 update for Minecraft is here, and with the Trails and Tales update comes a wide variety of new content, such as Sniffers. A new passive mob that doesn't spawn naturally and can only be found by doing a specific task. But once you spawn them, Sniffers can find all sorts of buried items for you that'll make life a little bit easier for you in your Minecraft world. This guide will detail everything you'll need to know about Sniffers.

What do Minecraft Sniffers do

Sniffers tend to wander around aimlessly, smelling the ground. They use their noses to sniff around until they find Torchflower Seeds or a Pitcher Pod. But for them to find something, they'll need at least a 6x6 space to sniff it out, and after they find an item, there's an eight-minute cooldown before they can perform the task again. Listed below are all the blocks they can dig from:

• Coarse Dirt
• Dirt
• Grass Block
• Moss Block
• Mud
• Muddy Mangrove Roots
• Podzol
• Rooted Dirt

If you or a tamed wolf kills an adult Sniffer, you'll earn anywhere from one to three XP, and if you murder a baby, you'll earn nothing but guilt.
