About this Mod

Logo

Petrichor is a small datapack focused on giving new mechanics to the Sniffer and its plants. Most content fits with the vanilla game, and does not interfere with it. All the content can be discovered in-game through advancements and other clues.

Contents

Features

  • A hungry Pitcher Plant
  • A blooming Torchflower
  • Exclusive items from each Sniffer plant
  • Rideable Sniffers

Extras

  • Emissive Torchflowers
  • New Pitcher Plant texture

Frequent Issues

Missing item textures

Make sure you download and enable the required resource pack to play with this data pack, you can find it by clicking in the version you want to download and scrolling down a bit. This isn't needed if you are using the mod version, as the resource pack is bundled with it.

Creative mode

Datapacks are not able to add custom items or spawn eggs to the creative inventory. The following works for a lot of datapacks, including this one:

  • To spawn items, use /loot give @s loot <datapack>:items/<item>
  • To spawn mobs, use /function <datapack>:commands/summon/<mob>

Special thanks to the Smithed community!

Frequently Asked Questions

Petrichor 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 (1.21.8). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Petrichor compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Petrichor officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.8, 1.21.7, 1.21.6. 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 Petrichor – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Petrichor consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
