Little Sniffs
Feed a Snifflet
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 remains part of the current 1.21 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. Nothing else in the tree depends on it, so it is a leaf at the tip of its branch.
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 26 total advancements in the Husbandry tab. No other advancement shares its parent, so it is the only thing that branches from Smells Interesting.

- Hatch a sniffer egg to get a snifflet (baby sniffer), then feed it torchflower seeds.
- Place the egg on moss for faster hatching.

Tips & Fastest Route
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
