Flower Mimics
by Serilum
Flower Mimics turns some flowers into mobs at night, so players walking through a field may meet a monster where a flower stood.
What it does
When a player walks near flowers at night, each flower it encounters has a chance to become a mimic, a mob that appears in place of the flower. The default chance is 1 in 50. A lightning strike marks the spawn, and the mimic gets a custom name. Killing it drops extra items and experience, and the original flower can be placed back where it stood. The mod was made for the SpookyJam 2023 event and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. It requires Collective.
The behavior is set in a config file. Server owners choose which flowers can become mimics, the chance per flower, the amount of extra experience, and whether mimics appear only at night. They can also decide whether the flower block is removed on spawn, whether it drops or returns on death, and whether manually placed or bone-mealed flowers are excluded. The search radius around the player, 15 blocks by default, can be changed up to 30.
Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod. Files cover 1.18.2 – 26.3 in 25 release versions, with 26.3.0-2.3 as the latest build, released on 2026-10-02. The code is not open source, and all rights are reserved.
