The sniffer egg was recently added in the latest preview/beta, however, you cannot obtain them naturally in survival via archeology inside the suspicious sand in the warm ocean ruins, since the loot table hasn't been updated yet to match Java, most likely because the rest of the Trails and Tales feature are still locked behind experiments toggle.
Step to Reproduce
Enable the Next Major Update toggle when creating new world.
Find a warm ocean ruins.
Brush off the suspicious sand in hope that you get it
Expected Result
You have a chance to find the sniffer egg.
Observed Result
You can't find the sniffer egg at all in survival.

Hey hey hey whoa kind human being @MCExplorer44 can you please also tell how to apply this addon to the game? I am playing on a Survival Experimental world in 1.20.0.20 Android s22 ultra and while i want to find sniffer eggs, i dont want my survival world ruined, or achievements off or cheats on or any glitches. How can i apply this thing above you have recommended safely. Also how will activate and deactivate it.
Hi, @Vandit24. Unfortunately, this isn't really a support forum and besides I play MC on Windows. If you do some web searches there should be some information available on how to use add-ons with Android MC Preview. All those activation and deactivation settings are in the world settings screen.
Attached is an Add-on that temporarily fixes the issue in case you want to play around with the Sniffer in Survival Bedrock worlds. Please de-activate it when the actual fix is released since it overrides the warm ocean suspicious sand loot table. I set the manifest version to 0.0.1 so any bump in the vanilla game manifest version will auto-disable this add-on.
