Frequently asked questions

How do I find sniffers without exploring for hours?
This data pack makes sniffers spawn naturally in villages—you can expect 0-3 per village. Visit any village and you should find them without extensive exploration.
Can I turn off sniffers spawning in villages?
Yes, run `/scoreboard players set SpawnSniffersInVillages sniff 0` to disable village spawning. Re-enable it anytime with `/scoreboard players set SpawnSniffersInVillages sniff 1`.
What blocks can sniffers dig up besides dirt?
Sniffers can dig on soul sand, sculk, mycelium, sand, crimson nylium, warped nylium, and netherrack—not just dirt variants.
Where do I find rare loot like ancient debris?
Rare items like ancient debris have a very low chance to appear, and certain loot is locked to specific biomes. Travel to different biome types and have sniffers dig in the appropriate block types to increase your chances.
