Minecraft Mimics

Chests, barrels, bookshelves, lanterns and armor that aren't what they seem. Get too close and they show their fangs.

  • At rest they look almost exactly like the real block, with one small tell.
  • The chest grabs with its tongue, the barrel rolls, the bookshelf spits books, the lantern blinds, the hollow armor fights with a sword.
  • When one wakes up, all the others nearby wake up too.
  • Craft the Impostor Lantern and grilled tongue.

The creatures.

Every creature in the pack, each with its own attacks.

Mimics to fill your Minecraft server.

Mimics arrive as a whole faction: five fighters (Mimic Chest, Mimic Barrel, Mimic Bookshelf, Mimic Lantern and Hollow Armor), each with its own attacks and role in the group. They spawn on their own in the plains, sunflower plains and meadow.

In total, 40 animations bring them to life in game. The pack also adds four items, such as “Mimic Tooth” or “Impostor's Lantern”, with recipes for ItemsAdder, Oraxen, Nexo or MythicCrucible. Everything runs with ModelEngine and MythicMobs on Paper, from 1.21.4 to 26.3.
