Mimic

Mod Overview

This modification enhances the vanilla Minecraft experience by making structure exploration more dangerous and exciting. Unlike other outdated mimic mods, this project is fully adapted for version 1.16.5 and can be used both standalone and in modpacks. The only drawback is that the JEI mod may reveal the presence of mimics.

All mimic animations are created from scratch: opening/closing, movement, attack, and locking.

Key Features

• A hostile mob with a small chance to spawn instead of chests in various structures: igloos, strongholds, spawner dungeons, jungle temples, pyramids, woodland mansions, Nether fortresses, and End cities.
• The mimic remains motionless until opened or attacked, after which it begins pursuing the player. Due to the valuable loot inside, it deals significant damage.
• When spawning instead of a chest, the mimic behaves like a regular container and doesn't disappear until emptied or destroyed.
• The special "mimic lock" item allows blocking the creature's mouth for safe access to contents. However, when removing items, there's a chance the mimic will attempt to break free.
• A mimic can only be opened when pretending to be a chest - it's impossible in standing position.
• The "mimic key" enables taming the creature if you manage to catch it. A tamed mimic follows the player like a pet, can sit or stand, and in sitting position serves as portable storage.
• A distinctive feature of wild mimics is the bloody interface when opened (this effect disappears for tamed ones).
• A mimic can be summoned using the "mimic heart" (mimic:fake_chest) - when used on a chest, after 4 seconds it transforms into a mob with random loot (configurable via datapack).
• The wooden nature of mimics makes them vulnerable to axes.
• When summoned, the mimic begins wandering in search of chests to consume (taking their contents and occupying their place).
• A locked mimic cannot be tamed.
• Only a regular mimic is suitable for taming.
• A tamed mimic teleports to the player when too far away.
