About this Mod
Hello, do you hate useless things? Me too!
So I made this datapack/mod that will remove the Sniffer from the game... COMPLETELY!
What else does this datapack do? Good question! It also:
- Removes Sniffer Egg from suspicious sand Loot Table, making the Sniffer UNOBTAINABLE in survival.
- Has a function that immediately takes care of any spawned Sniffers (
no Sniffer is harmed during the process) - Removes all achievements that are related to the Sniffer and modifies those that only include it partialy (such as Two by two) so that they can be completed.
So... did I convince you that this datapack is what you're looking for?
If not, maybe this before and after will:
