How to Get Pitcher Pods in Minecraft

One of the goals of the 1.20 version of Minecraft was to increase availability of certain resources, and with the introduction of the Pitcher Pods, I would say that they pretty much did it. These ancient flowers are great for helping you decorate your buildings with the best colors, while also having some extra functions to them.

But before you can start having your own pitcher farm, you first need to get some pods for yourself. It only makes sense, correct? Here’s how you can get find some of them in Minecraft currently.

Where to Find Pitcher Pods in Minecraft

Pitcher Pods are found exclusively by Sniffers when they dig the ground for special loot. The pods are dropped on the ground next to the Sniffer alongside anything else they might’ve encountered in this search. More specifically, they can be obtained when Sniffers sniff Dirt, Grass, Podzol, Coarse Dirt, Rooted Dirt, Moss, Mud or Muddy Mangrove Roots blocks.

All will have the same chances for pods, so it’s all up to your luck to find them or not. You’ll also occasionally get some Torchflower Seeds, and each Sniffer has an 8-minute cooldown between each sniffing session, so be patient.

What do Pitcher Pods Do?

Pitcher Pods can be planted on your farm to grow into Pitcher plants. Those plants can later be sued to make Cyan dyes, so getting pods is basically an easy method of getting as many extra dyes as you need.

If playing on Bedrock, the pods themselves have extra usages, such as being nutritious food for chickens and serving as their breeding item. Feeding baby chickens with them will reduce their remaining growth time by 10%. The dream of every farmer out there. You can also use them to tame parrots, just gotta be lucky to find them in the first place.
