Sniffer is one of the newest and most unique mobs in Minecraft, which makes its debut with the latest Minecraft 1.20 update. It brings new functionality, items, and possibilities to your game. But, just having one Sniffer can take hours, if not days, for you to make the most out of this new mob. So, let’s quickly learn how to breed Sniffer in Minecraft 1.20, so you can have an army of fluffy dinosaurs to find new ancient seeds in no time.
Items Required to Breed Sniffers in Minecraft
You need the following items to breed a Sniffer in Minecraft 1.20:
- 2 Sniffers
- 2 Torchflower Seed
You can use our dedicated guide to easily find the Sniffer egg in Minecraft within no time. Once you have a Sniffer, you need to let it roam around until it sniffs and digs out a Torchflower seed. The process doesn’t require you to do any work, but make sure to pick the seeds up before they despawn.
Moreover, the breeding process doesn’t require you to use the Torchflower itself. Instead, only its seeds are required. So, you don’t have to plant it down.

Get the two Sniffers close to each other and feed them the Torchflower seeds. Then, within no time, the Sniffer egg will be dropped, ready for you to hatch it. You can follow our dedicated guide on Sniffer eggs in Minecraft to learn how to hatch it efficienctly.
After that, you have to wait for a few minutes before breeding the Sniffers again. Moreover, after the Snifflet has hatched wait for it to grow and you can involve it in the breeding process as well.
Just like that, you can get as many Sniffers as you want to keep digging seeds in your Minecraft world. But before you do so, make sure you know how to grow crops in Minecraft to make the most of all the seeds this mob gives you. You can also make a separate Minecraft house to keep the Sniffer safe from other players. Having said that, how many Sniffers do you plan to breed for your Minecraft world? Do tell us in the comments below!
Unlike an Allay, you can’t make duplicates of a Sniffer. Instead, you have to get two Sniffers together and breed them to get a Sniffer egg. You then need to hatch the egg to get a baby Sniffer, which grows into an adult in a few minutes.
Unlike regular plants in Minecraft, ancient plants like the Torchflower don’t drop seeds when you break them. Instead, you have to rely on the Sniffer to dig out new seeds for you.
Similar to other breedable mobs in Minecraft, it takes around 10-20 minutes for a Sniffer to be ready for another round of breeding.
