Tree path: Husbandry › Smells Interesting (advancements are independent: they can be completed in any order; the tree only guides progression)

Tree parent: Husbandry

Advancements are exclusive to Java Edition. The Bedrock Edition equivalent is achievements, which have different objectives.

How to get Smells Interesting

  1. Craft a brush: a feather, a copper ingot and a stick.
  2. Find warm ocean ruins and look for suspicious sand among the regular sand.
  3. Brush the suspicious sand patiently: it can yield a sniffer egg as a rare find.
  4. Having the sniffer egg in your inventory completes this hidden advancement.

Tips

Suspicious sand breaks if you mine it, so brush, don't dig. Once you have two sniffers, they breed with torchflower seeds and lay eggs themselves, which is much faster than archaeology.
