A sniffer egg is a block that can be brushed out of suspicious sand in warm ocean ruins, or obtained by breeding two sniffers. It slowly hatches into a snifflet (baby sniffer) when placed.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

Sniffer eggs can be mined with any tool, even with bare hands, and always drop themselves. Unlike turtle eggs, Silk Touch is not needed.[1]

Mob loot

[edit | edit source]

Sniffer eggs can also be obtained by breeding two sniffers with torchflower seeds. Unlike turtle eggs or frogspawn, which are placed into the world in block form, sniffer eggs are dropped as items, similar to chicken eggs.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Placing

[edit | edit source]

Sniffer eggs can be placed in block form. Once placed, they slowly mature and hatch into snifflets.

Sniffer eggs do not require a supporting block below.[2] Unlike dragon eggs, they are not affected by gravity.

Hatching

[edit | edit source]

Sniffer eggs crack over time and hatch after cracking twice. They hatch in 10 minutes when placed on moss blocks or 20 minutes when placed on any other block (including pale moss blocks).

Sniffer eggs do not need to receive random ticks to hatch in Java Edition. Therefore, the hatching speed of sniffer eggs is not affected by the randomTickSpeed game rule.[3]

Piston interactivity

[edit | edit source]

Sniffer eggs can be pushed and pulled by pistons.[4]
