They often contain enemies<\/p>\n<p>### Sculpture tool<br \/>\nTo create more advanced tools you need a crafting table<br \/>\nThe sculpting tool lets you carve a log into crafting table<br \/>\nNote! You cannot move the table in the early stages of the game<\/p>\n<p>### Storage Pots<br \/>\nStorage pots can be crafted from 7 bricks.<br \/>\nBricks can be made from a ball of clay wich drops from dirt<br \/>\nR-click on the pot to extract the items<\/p>\n<p>## New Game Mechanics<\/p>\n<p>### Animals Behavior<br \/>\nMost animals are no longer passive but neutral<br \/>\nThis means that if you attack them they will attack you back!<br \/>\nIn addition more animals can drop different types of meat\/leather\/fur<\/p>\n<p>### Campfire<br \/>\nA campfire is one of the most important things, at least in the beginning<br \/>\nIt provides light and heat at night,  cook food and make torches<br \/>\nto craft campfire you need 4 wood slabs and 3 sticks,<br \/>\nand to ignite the campfire you gonna need fire plough and some coal or other fuel to keep it lit<\/p>\n<p>![campfire](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/78d9580ebaf8923bba92c9e5f845e0d4906f9ca3.png)<\/p>\n<p>### Movement<br \/>\nThere are some small changes to the movement<br \/>\n1. Your jump height is exactly 1 block<br \/>\n2. Wall running is possible for a short distance<br \/>\n3. If you are close to the edge of a block above which there is air, if you press shift+jump you can climb it (see picture)<br \/>\n4. If you fall from a high place<br \/>\nPressing right and left together will brake the fall at the cost of a large amount of stamina<br \/>\n### stamina<br \/>\nEvery time you perform a tiring action like jumping or running your stamina bar will decrease a bit. If the bar reaches zero you will suffer slowness and hunger until the bar fills back up<br \/>\nTo replenish the bar simply stand still and wait a few moments<\/p>\n<p>![stamina](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/20218a71462e7dcae471e3b20911c982165ad836.png)<\/p>\n<p>### Temperature<br \/>\nThe temperature bar is pretty simple if you are in a place that is too cold or too hot you will start taking damage So you should keep an eye on it<\/p>\n<p>![temperature](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/8574a4b248fb6332233a13c77c58c7f26ceab624.png)<\/p>\n<p>### Sanity<br \/>\nThe sanity bar is affected by actions the player takes<br \/>\nLike eating raw food or staying in the dark and cold for a long time<br \/>\nThe opposite actions will help keep the meter high<br \/>\nThis meter determines events that can happen around you like<br \/>\nStronger monsters will appear and you will lose hunger<br \/>\nThings will start disappearing around you<br \/>\nso don&#8217;t lose your sanity<\/p>\n<p>![sanity](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/b3fb1750ab7aa9cdef9d4193c7b3c45a9308eac2.png)<\/p>\n<p>### Seasons<br \/>\nAs you can imagine there are 4 seasons<br \/>\nEach season affects the game in a different way<br \/>\nfrom temperature and weather<br \/>\nand up to the spawning of animals<\/p>\n<p>## crafting stations<br \/>\n### Cooking pot<br \/>\nUsed for making hot and more nutritious food<br \/>\nRequires a lit campfire under it<\/p>\n<p>### Crucible<br \/>\nUsed to melt materials together<br \/>\nMainly for steel production<br \/>\nRequires a lit campfire under it<\/p>\n<p>### Fletching<br \/>\nUsed to make arrows<\/p>\n<p>### Anvil<br \/>\nUsed to forge tools from advanced metals such as steel<br \/>\nTo use it you have to place a steel ingot in it and hit it with a hammer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An immersive and challenging survival data pack<br \/>\nInspired by the old mod &#8220;Better than Wolves&#8221;.<br \/>\nread more&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29825,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"better_than_sniffers","_minecraft_project_id":"kEcoNwG4","_minecraft_author":"dvirov","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":5304,"_minecraft_follows":46,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"better_than_sniffers.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":253419571,"_minecraft_version_count":63,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T00:50:20.757767Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2024-09-17T22:16:56.383149Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-11-13T19:17:01.149252Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/better_than_sniffers","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":29825,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T12:26:01+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"45a72c1d64b1e728b57265124b670bc8","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[87,84,97,104,89,158,98,159],"mod_loader":[86,99,106,160,100],"minecraft_version":[62,37,40,73,74,38,78,81],"class_list":["post-29824","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-adventure","mod_category-datapack","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-forge","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-quilt","mod_category-worldgen","mod_loader-datapack","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-forge","mod_loader-neoforge","mod_loader-quilt","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-8"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
