Little Sniffs
Feed a Snifflet
Requirements: Hatch a sniffer egg to get a snifflet (baby sniffer), then feed it torchflower seeds.
Overview
Little Sniffs is a task advancement in the Husbandry tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Feed a Snifflet." It branches directly off Smells Interesting, so that earlier advancement is its prerequisite and must be earned first. The Husbandry tab covers advancements related to farming, animal breeding, food, and the natural world. Little Sniffs was added in Minecraft 1.20, from the Trails & Tales era, and is still in the 26.2 advancement set.
It is rated Medium difficulty on this site: requires some preparation or specific resources. Part of normal gameplay progression. It uses the standard task frame, meaning it is a normal step in the tree rather than a goal or challenge milestone. One further advancement, Planting the Past, is gated behind it.
In tree terms, Little Sniffs sits second along its line: the full path from the Husbandry root reads Husbandry -> Smells Interesting -> Little Sniffs. That means 2 advancements must be completed before this one becomes available, and Little Sniffs is one of 31 total advancements in the Husbandry tab. No other advancement shares its parent, so it is the only thing that branches from Smells Interesting.
How to Complete Little Sniffs
Earning Little Sniffs comes down to the following, performed in order:
- Hatch a sniffer egg to get a snifflet (baby sniffer), then feed it torchflower seeds.
- Place the egg on moss for faster hatching.
- The snifflet will grow into an adult sniffer.
Tips & Fastest Route
- Fastest route: Hatch a sniffer egg into a snifflet and feed it torchflower seeds.
- Place the egg on a moss block to roughly halve the hatch time.
- Torchflower seeds are dug up by adult sniffers, so you may need one adult to feed the next snifflet.
- Make sure Smells Interesting is already ticked off before you start, otherwise Little Sniffs will not be tracked even if you perform the steps correctly.
- At Medium difficulty, Little Sniffs is a routine step once you have the prerequisites in hand; no special grinding is usually needed beyond the items the steps call for.
Common Mistakes
- Remember that Little Sniffs will not appear as available until Smells Interesting is done, since the game only tracks an advancement once its parent has been unlocked.
Reward & What It Unlocks
Little Sniffs grants no experience directly; its value is progression rather than a point payout.
Earning it unlocks Planting the Past, which becomes the next step along this branch of the tree.
