About this Mod
Notice: Project archived as no support for this standalone mod will be entertained.
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!

Mimics server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 4 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.16.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Mimics compatible with fabric?
Mimics officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.16.5. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Mimics – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Mimics consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
