Mimics lurk in the world, waiting to eat your loot. Should you be clever enough, you could have a boon companion for your loot-hoarding adventures
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.16.5 on Fabric. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Mimics
Mimics introduces a new mob to the game, called the Mimic. These sly creatures masquerade as chests in the world, and will attack any player that tries to open them. Be wary, they pack a mean bite and can fell a woefully unprepared adventurer in one hit if they're lucky.
But Mimics aren't all that terrible... if you do manage to subdue one of these strange monsters, you will receive any loot the mimic has picked up along with a Mimic Core! These cores can be used to craft your very own Mimic, which will follow you and assist in item collection and disposal. They will even help protect you when you are attacked by other mobs!
