Maximize Your Chances of Finding Rare Loot
Understand Loot Weight and Biome Rarity
Sniffers dig up different items depending on where they search. The data pack uses a weight system: items with higher weight values are more common, while items with lower weight are rarer. Additionally, some loot only appears in specific biomes.
Key principle: The fewer total items available in a biome, and the higher an item's weight, the better your odds of finding it.
Travel to Multiple Biomes
To find the full range of loot, bring sniffers to different terrain types:
- Soul sand areas
- Sculk-filled caves
- Mycelium forests
- Sand dunes and beaches
- Nether biomes (crimson and warped nylium)
- Netherrack formations
Strategy for Rare Items
If you're hunting for something specific (like ancient debris), research which biome offers the best odds, then set up a sniffer farm there. The more sniffers you have digging in the right location, the faster you'll accumulate rare drops.
