About this Mod
What is NMSC?
NMSC (No More Sniffers/Camels) is a small QoL datapack that helps with a problem I have found myself to have when i started playing 1.20+. That problem is the presence of sniffers and camels!
NSMC engages to follow its one and only policy, which is to rid any world of these two despicable mobs, and that's about it!
But... why?
That is one hell of a question! Here's my answer:
My story starts long ago, in the far away time that was October 2022. Doomsday was on the 15th, it was the awful, horrible, HORRENDOUS day where it was announced by Mojang that there would be the addition of sniffers in the near future. I wished everyday for more time before my unfathomable fate arrived, but it was during June 7th of 2023 that all hell broke loose, and that's when 1.20 was released. With it came the camels, monsters that took refuge in the barren lands that are the deserts, but they didn't arrive alone. With them arrived the sniffers, who come from... water? But I would not have ANY of it! I wouldn't have their weird jumps nor their flowers! I would vow to myself that I would conquer them, and save all of the future Minecraft worlds. And that is where we stand today, for I have accomplished my mission that is to remove these amalgamations from our worlds.
TL:DR - I just don't really like the sniffer and camel because it looks oddly detailed compared to Minecraft's textures and since I'm not an artist, I just removed them from the game. On top of that I feel like sniffers don't really do anything and camels are just weird horses at this point. That's it.

Will this be ported to other versions?
The modpack has now been updated to new versions thanks to a friend of mine! You can now enjoy my magnum opus on any versions from 1.20 up to 1.21.4!
Come on everyone, say it with me! "Thank you Bowswa!"
On another note, I plan to update this pack to 1.19 next! Coming soon in 2030 (maybe, if you're lucky).

NMSC server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

NMSC officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.4, 1.21.3, 1.21.2. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with NMSC – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if NMSC consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
