Have you ever wanted to openly display your sniffer eggs in their own special exhibit? Are you annoyed with the inconsistent egg hatching mechanics between turtles and sniffers? Do you just want a unique building block?
Introducing: Controlled Sniffer Hatching!
Features
- Whenever you place down a sniffer egg, it won't hatch unless the block beneath it is either a Moss Block or a Pale Moss Block.
- If a sniffer egg is placed down on moss, and then the moss is swapped out for an invalid hatching block, the egg will keep any cracks it already has, but it will not advance to the next hatching stage unless it is pushed back onto moss with a piston.
- Moss Blocks retain their vanilla ability to halve the time it takes for a sniffer egg to hatch. It will take 10 minutes for the egg to hatch on these blocks.
- Pale Moss Blocks do not receive the halved time bonus. It will take 20 minutes for the egg to hatch on these blocks.
