Sniffy Sand

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

Minecraft 1.21.6–1.21.7Newest
Minecraft 1.21–1.21.5

⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.7 ⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.5

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Sniffy Sand datapack by RenaeGade!

With Sniffy Sand it is now possible to utilize Sniffers for all your sandy needs! This datapack makes both regular and red sand sniffable, allowing them do dig up 1-5 items, including the type of sand they're standing on, as well as both dead bushes and sticks (mainly to balance it out just a bit)!

Not only does this not affect the blocks or loot Sniffers can already snif on and dig up, but it also makes sand, red sand and even dead bushes fully renewable in a vanilla-y, and more importantly, balanced way.
