Sniffer Egg is the item-like block that hatches into a baby sniffer (snifflet). It can be mined with any tool or bare hands and always drops itself, unlike turtle eggs which need Silk Touch.

  • Sniffer breeding — Breeding two adult sniffers with torchflower seeds produces a new egg.

FAQ

What tool do I need to mine a Sniffer Egg?

Any tool, or even bare hands — it always drops itself regardless of tool used.

How long does a Sniffer Egg take to hatch?

10 minutes on a moss block, or 20 minutes on any other block. Hatching speed is unaffected by random tick speed.

Where do I find Sniffer Eggs?

Brush suspicious sand in warm ocean ruins, or breed two adult sniffers together using torchflower seeds.

Does a Sniffer Egg need Silk Touch to drop?

No. Unlike turtle eggs, sniffer eggs drop themselves when mined with any tool.
