Allow Double Chests To Be Placed On Sniffers

Since the sniffer is a large mob, a player should be able to place 1 to 2 double chests on top of it (an adult sniffer). This would give more storage space to the player and be useful for transporting large quantities of items across the land.

    It would kind of lead to the sniffer replacing the llama caravans in terms of mount-based, larger scale mobile storage, but considering no one uses llama caravans in the first place, this seems like a solid replacement.

    Considering the adult sniffer's size, I would expect 2 double chests to fit on its back.

    Sniffers could be able to hold up 256 items (which is 2 double chests of maxed amount of items and tools)! An adult sniffer would be a good pack animal, especially when moving large quantities of items from one place or base to another such as items in mob farms and player-made structures & houses!

    Almost nobody uses llama caravans, and sniffers would be a better option, since they are coming back from extinction and you can have and store as many items as you want on them!

    I totally agree. Imagine how cool it would be if a player was riding one and had another 5 sniffers behind him to move a lot of items. 
    Since they're slow they wouldn't replace horses or donkeys. Also they would not replace shulkers. That makes it a great mechanic for 'early' players to move items
