Would’ve loved it if the sniffers plants were used in brewing
Maybe one of the plants gives you haste, and with fermented spider eye it gives mining fatigue, and another one could maybe give you conduit abilities wherever you are in the ocean

Or maybe incorporate it into a new block or boss even

They need to give the sniffer more plants. It's literally the whole point of the sniffer

[wallawalla]

Since moss speeds up the hatching, it would make sense if you could place it on ice or snow to stop it from hatching so you can display it. Also really wish the advancement for finding a sniffer egg was called "Life, uh, finds a way". We're bringing an extinct species back to life and didn't even get a Jurassic Park reference :(

A small tip for using farmers to farm the sniffer plants, trade with a farmer then break its composter, that way it stays a farmer but won't compost the seeds

BIG GAME IDEAS

We need more sniffer plants which are biome specific. Imagine hatching one in a desert and it digs up a different flower.
On top of that, the flowers should be consumable like berrys, and provide an effect.

Torchflower - Night vision 5 seconds. If you farmed them, this would make them an interesting competitor to night vis potions

Pitcher pod - Brew into a potion for extended reach when mining / or eat raw for jump boost 5 seconds

Blueberry vines (the unreleased one) - Water breathing 5 seconds. Could be an interesting alternative to water breathing potions

Hazy sapling - A strange ancient tree. A new type of sapling that, depending on nearby conditions and blocks, grows into larger versions of modern tree types. For example putting a warped fungus near it would make it grow into warped fungus. Putting cherry leaves near it would make it grow to a big cherry tree. This is future-proof as the sapling could unlock an entirely med wood type in a future update.

14:00 if you hate the sound of minecart operations another option is to use mud as your sniffer farm floor and just line hoppers underneath all connecting to one chest - because mud is just under a full block height and is a "sniffable" block, it works just the same without the loud minecart noises :)

When I was first looking for Sniffer eggs I had to travel a couple thousand blocks to find a new ocean, but thought they'd be in the chest and not the sand lol. After like 5 or 6 ruins with no luck I finally just googled it to doublecheck. Had to go find the materials to make a brush, then went back to the very first ruin and found 2 eggs immediately!
Sure would have saved myself some time if I looked it up first but I got there eventually lol

7:38 Hold up, the sniffer magically "grew up" in the same clip where you have a diamond sword and a sniffer spawn egg in your hotbar

[moekitsune]

I love the Sniffer, not every new addition needs to be game changing.

The Sniffer is just an ancient version of truffle hunting pigs

[DaltonHBrown]

I had hoped the "ancient plants" would include new crops. It'd be awesome to have a new three block tall crop like corn or beans. THen we could make new foods like tacos or three sisters stew.

[BooksMusicMe]

I was so hoping they'd give the sniffers collision so their backs could be used as moving platforms to jump from or "ride" on, since they're huge anyway. Its disappointing that they don't even have any niche use like that.

Pig:oink oink
Sniffier:leave the sniffing to the professional

[LKnivesGaming]

Wow, that's pretty cool of Mojang making liking this video part of Sniffer husbandry.

[brick]

Oh it was so incredibly amazing! So I made a new features that I had no idea existed. I'm so happy about all the changes

[firebladeepicdude]

Very educational and useful guides ngl

1:46 You can also feed a dolphin a raw cod or salmon, and it'll start heading towards the nearest underwater ruin (it may take a couple fish to reach it, since it runs out fairly quickly, and you'll need to be quick in order to keep up, because they're REALLY fast).

2:42 The Frost Walker enchantment also negates the magma block's damage. Also, the bubble column doesn't restore the Turtle Helmet's Water Breathing effect, so you'll have to resurface if you want that.

8:37 Notice: holding a Torchflower Seed (AKA tempting it with food) will also cause it to stop digging (at least on Bedrock Edition; I can't say for sure on Java).

[vape_bruh]

I made a sniffer farm the same day of the update on bedrock using moss and had no problems, didn’t know about that.

This screenshot for the thumbnail looks like a mod. In 2021 nobody would guess this was future vanilla. I feel like Mojang is losing their vanilla feel. And that’s not a bad thing either. I love it. It’s time Minecraft expanded more and started feeling more whimsical or magical or exotic in more colorful and interesting ways.
