Tight Sniff
Changes Sniffer minimum radius to be tiny so Sniffers can sniff in 3x2 areas for example instead of needing more space such as a 4x4 area. Hence the name
About this Mod
Tight Sniff:
Sniffers normally need a large open area to dig up seeds. Tight Sniff removes that limitation.
With this mod Sniffers can dig in tight and enclosed spaces, no more massive pens required. As long as the Sniffer's hitbox fits it can sniff out seeds and dig normally, even in small or narrow areas.
Modpack Friendly: Add it to any modpack you like. Credit is appreciated.
Version ports?: I doubt it, Mojang tends to change things quite often internally and this mod was just created for fun, I will probably port to some versions eventually but for now this remains 1.21.10 only.
