Mimics Overhaul Mod extends Artifacts with custom spawn rules for mimics. It gives normal loot chests inside game structures a random chance to turn into monsters when you open them. This adds a fun surprise to your adventures because you never know if a chest holds treasure or a trap.

- Targets chests in strongholds, mineshafts, ancient cities, fortresses, bastions, and pyramids.
- Ignores chests you place yourself and double chests to keep your base safe.
- Checks if the chest has new loot, so chests you already opened stay normal.

Configuration:
allowedStructures: Add IDs of custom structures to make mimics spawn there too.
