Advancement Made!Planting the PastOverview
Planting the Past is a task advancement in the Husbandry tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Plant any Sniffer seed." It branches directly off Little Sniffs, 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. Planting the Past 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. Nothing else in the tree depends on it, so it is a leaf at the tip of its branch.
In tree terms, Planting the Past sits third along its line: the full path from the Husbandry root reads Husbandry -> Smells Interesting -> Little Sniffs -> Planting the Past. That means 3 advancements must be completed before this one becomes available, and Planting the Past 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 Little Sniffs.
How to Complete Planting the Past
Earning Planting the Past comes down to the following, performed in order:
- Obtain a sniffer egg from suspicious sand in warm ocean ruins, hatch it on moss, then let the adult sniffer dig up ancient seeds (torchflower seeds or pitcher pods).
- Plant them on farmland.
Tips & Fastest Route
Tips & Fastest Route- Fastest route: Let an adult sniffer dig up a torchflower or pitcher seed, then plant it on farmland.
- Sniffers only dig on natural grass/dirt blocks they have not searched recently.
- Hatch a sniffer egg from suspicious sand in warm ocean ruins to get your first sniffer.
- Make sure Little Sniffs is already ticked off before you start, otherwise Planting the Past will not be tracked even if you perform the steps correctly.
- At Medium difficulty, Planting the Past 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
Common Mistakes- Remember that Planting the Past will not appear as available until Little Sniffs is done, since the game only tracks an advancement once its parent has been unlocked.
Reward & What It Unlocks
Reward & What It UnlocksPlanting the Past grants no experience directly; its value is progression rather than a point payout.
It is a leaf advancement, so nothing further unlocks from it; it stands as a completed tip of its branch.
