DESCRIPTION
Better sniffers expands the loot that sniffers can sniff out from the ground. This loot can range from more foliage to a very rare chance of finding ancient debris in the nether. They can also now dig up blocks more than just dirt and its variants. Some items can only be discovered by them in certain biomes, so make sure to travel around and see what treasure awaits you!
It also makes sniffers easier to find by making them spawn naturally in villages. Expect 0-3 sniffers to spawn in a single village.
(This feature can be disabled by running this command: /scoreboard players set SpawnSniffersInVillages sniff 0)
INSTALLATION GUIDE

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
