    Community Roundup: Sniffer Fanart

    This year, like every year, we hosted our annual mob vote during Minecraft Live. And this year, the people have spoken: The sniffer is coming to Minecraft. 

    The sniffer is an adorable new mob that won the hearts of over 50% of our voters! And we’re happy to report that support for our fluffy new super best friend spread quickly throughout the Minecraft community.

    We asked the community to share their fan art and creations inspired by the sniffer, and loved seeing everything the community came up with. Here they are (in no particular order)!

    Kicking things off is violxiv with their submission of a sniffer reimagined as a girl, complete with a cute sweater and skirt.

    Next is IsThatJed’s super creative ideas for fun sniffer accessories. Just look at that floatie!

    Nisphmiphnhu11 has inspired us to see what we can create with materials from our own homes with this unique papercraft submission.

    PotatoJellyJake went with a classic approach, going in-game with their creation and building a sniffer out of an assortment of existing blocks.

    This adorable drawing from fnoofles has us wondering if perhaps our invitation to this sniffer party got lost in the mail...?
