All of us Minecraft<\/a> fans are getting excited about the upcoming 1.2 update rollout, which is set to have several pleasant new crafting features<\/a>. One of them is the new archeology aspect<\/strong>, which ties into the latest mob to be voted as part of the package. It\u2019s called the Sniffer<\/strong>, and it\u2019s going to help you find ancient artifacts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Mojang announced that it would be adding Archeology to Minecraft<\/strong>. The idea is that you can find suspicious sand in the desert, which is a new block that\u2019s almost hidden. When located, you\u2019ll dig up ancient pottery shards that you can put together and place in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does this relate to the new mob coming to Minecraft<\/a>? Well, the community held a vote for which mob they wanted to see next, and the Sniffer won. According to the details so far, the mob will be able to detect suspicious sand<\/strong> that holds precious seeds of ancient flowers. You will then be able to plant them around your home or by your farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s even a fun way to tame the Sniffer, but you won\u2019t find them naturally in the Overworld. You\u2019ll need to find eggs and then spawn a Snifflet<\/strong>, which you can then raise until it\u2019s old enough to sniff out those ancient seeds<\/a>. For the moment, the new mob will only appear in Creative mode until Mojang sorts out any bugs that may appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would be fun is if they one day include finding dinosaur fossils<\/strong> in the sand. We could then reconstruct them piece by piece to put on display in our Minecraft homes<\/a>. Also, they could play with a Jurassic Park idea of reviving them somehow so we can mount and ride them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I have a vivid imagination. I\u2019m a fantasy writer<\/a>, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Apparently this is the Final Feauture for the 1.20 update. And Honestly? I\u2019m ok with that. What a ride!
