Mimics
by akoimeexx
Mimics adds a hostile mob to 1.16.5 Fabric worlds that disguises itself as a chest and attacks players who open it.
What it does
The mimics are sly creatures that lurk in the world and wait for players to open chests. Once a player tries to open one, the chest turns out to be a mob that bites. The bite comes hard, so an unprepared adventurer can fall in a few blows, although the mimic is not meant to be a sure kill. Players who learn to spot the disguise can avoid the fight entirely.
Mimic Core is the item that changes how the mob works. A core can be crafted into a mimic that follows its owner and helps collect and dispose of items, and it can also protect the player when other mobs attack. Tamed mimics are useful for managing loot-hoarding adventures, since the loot the mimic picked up stays with it. The server and every player need the mod installed.
