Naturally Spawning Sniffers
They spawn in the lush cave biome. Enjoy and have fun finding sniffers. Known Bug: They sometimes spawn in the walls of the cave so make sure to mine them out.

About this Mod
My first proper Minecraft Mod
It just makes Sniffers Spawn in Lush Caves
Have fun getting a sniffer without messing with the archeology system and ocean ruins. This mod is a simple mod and does not add anything new outside of sniffers spawning in lush caves.
