Minecraft 1.20, also known as the Trails & Tales update, introduced several new achievements or advancements, one of which is the “Smells Interesting” achievement. This achievement can be unlocked in both the Bedrock and Java editions of the game. In this article, we will guide you through the process of unlocking this unique achievement.
What is the “Smells Interesting” Achievement?
The “Smells Interesting” achievement requires players to add a sniffer egg to their inventory. This achievement can be unlocked in any game mode, and it can also be obtained through commands if you prefer that method.
Obtaining a Sniffer Egg in Survival Mode
Unlike most other Minecraft mobs, sniffers reproduce through the use of eggs, similar to chickens or turtles. However, sniffer eggs are not commonly found in the Overworld. To obtain a sniffer egg in survival mode, you will need to engage in some archeology.
- 1. Crafting a Brush
To begin the process, you will need to craft a brush. The brush can be crafted by combining a feather, a stick, and a copper ingot in a crafting table.
- 2. Locating Ocean Ruin Structures
Next, head to an ocean ruin structure in a warm temperature ocean biome. These structures can be challenging to spot, so it is recommended to use Potions of Night Vision to help you navigate underwater. Alternatively, you can use the command “/locate structure ocean_ruin_warm” if cheats are enabled. This command will provide you with the coordinates of the nearest ruin structure.
- 3. Finding Suspicious Sand Blocks
Once you reach the ruins, keep an eye out for suspicious sand blocks. These blocks look similar to regular sand blocks but have more indentations in their face textures.
- 4. Using the Brush
Equip the brush and right-click or press the use item button on your controller to brush the suspicious sand block. Keep the button held down until the block’s loot items pop out, and the block reverts to regular sand.
- 5. Obtaining the Sniffer Egg
It may take some time for the sniffer eggs to drop, as they only have a 6.7% chance of being obtained from suspicious sand blocks. Alternatively, you can use the command “/give @s sniffer_egg” to directly receive the sniffer egg and unlock the achievement.
Note: If you prefer a more straightforward method, you can switch to Creative Mode and add the sniffer egg to your inventory through the mode’s user interface. Additionally, if you need to change your game mode while already in the game, you can enable cheats and use the command “/gamemode creative” to switch to Creative Mode.
Unlocking the “Smells Interesting” Achievement
Once you have obtained a sniffer egg and it is in your inventory, you will automatically unlock the “Smells Interesting” achievement. There are no specific requirements regarding the game mode or how the egg is obtained; as long as it is in your inventory, the achievement will be unlocked.
Conclusion
The “Smells Interesting” achievement in Minecraft 1.20 can be unlocked by adding a sniffer egg to your inventory. This can be accomplished through archeology in survival mode or through commands. Whether you choose to search for the egg in ocean ruin structures or use creative mode, obtaining the sniffer egg will unlock this intriguing achievement. Good luck on your Minecraft adventures!
