Whenever a Sniffer find itself in a snowfall, in cold biomes, their back will turn snowy and white. This is similar to how large mammals can accumulate snow during a winter storm.
And if you do not like it? You can right-click it with a shovel, and it reverts to the original skin, with a couple of snowballs as a drop. Alternatively, heat in various shape and place can melt that snow down. Pretty useful, especially to keep the babies warm.
It adds environmental interaction with the mob itself, even with such small details. It reflects how impactful bringing this species back from extinction is, and letting it live in this modern world, rain or shine! :)
There are a few more fun features surrounding the Snowy Sniffer's interaction with the world, but I will leave you to find out.
I hope you will enjoy your experience! ^^
Warning: This mod will need to be installed on both client and servers, if you go in multiplayer. For those who seek Snowy Sniffers on any servers, a "lighter" mod version will be made in the future, with fewer features, and more focus on aesthetic than functions. But hey, at least you'll enjoy some snow covered giants anywhere. c:
Question: Can I use this mod on another site like CurseForge for my modpack?
Answer: Of course! I prefer to host on Modrinth for the project itself, but I give full permission to use this mod for modpacks hosted anywhere!
