Mimic Ores

by GamerJig

Mimic Ores introduces ore blocks that turn out to be mimics when a player breaks them, with the Ancient Debris variant among them.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.21.8

What it does

Breaking a mimic ore causes it to spawn a mimic, a creature that takes the place of the block. The mod is for players who want their mining to carry a risk. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds are published for NeoForge 1.21.8 only, with 1.0.1 as the latest file, dated 2026-06-21, and the code is under the MIT License but is not open source.

Key features

  1. Mimic ore blocks

    Ore blocks in the world that hide a mimic inside, so mining one can start a fight instead of dropping items.

  2. Mimic creatures

    Each mimic appears when its ore is broken, and the creatures differ enough that players meet several kinds while exploring.

  3. Ancient Debris variant

    Ancient Debris is included as one of the ores that can be broken into a mimic, adding a rarer encounter in the Nether.

How it compares

Full comparison

The Friends Mod is a NeoForge mod for 1.21, licensed as All rights reserved and not open source, running on client and server. SimpleMimics works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.21.1 under a custom license, also client and server and not open source. Mimic Ores targets only 1.21.8, so a player on an older version needs one of these instead.
