6 years ago I haven't thought of how to tame the bug yet, as insects doesn't know the concept of loyalty to human, if you want to change the bug into a more suitable entity or want to replace the bug lore into something else, please suggest.

6 years ago Note: I have seen other mob make the disguised chest as an entity, i suggest keep it as a block, perhap a special chest separated to vanilla chests but with the same texture, or vanilla chest with a special nbt tag:"is mimic:true", than when right clicked turn into the mob.

6 years ago Mimics can be heal using wooden planks to fix the chest shell
Mimics are hungry and greedy entity that disguise as a chest, they can be found in deep old, underground dungeon. At first seem like a regular chest, players who open it inside will soon realize, that there is normal loot inside. However, while the player is busy looting the chest, the mob slowly coming to life, with spider like legs and splinter like teeth coming out, it then slam its mouth brutally at the unsuspecting player, injuring their fighting hand, this give the player weakness for 1 minute, when killed, mimic drop its content as well as its drops, which is a special chest, some sticks, and in occasion, an egg pouch. As it turn out, the mimic is just a small silverfish like bug that use the chest as a home, similar to a hermit crab. The bug after finding a suitable chest will transform it into an intimidate living chest monster, capable of crawling around and hunting, since the bug require meat to survive as well.
To tame a mimic, one first must acquire an egg pouch from a "female" mimic, when thrown, the pouch produce from 3-6 larvae, when fully-grown they will seek nearby chest, enter them and become mimics to repeat the cycle, they however, doesn't enter double chests as it is too much for them. If you somehow make the bugs understand that you are their superior, then you have yourself a tamed mimics.
Stat: Mimics have 1x1x1 hitbox, despite the legs expand their model wider than just 1 block wide, they can't climb despite having spider legs, they doesn't take fall damage as the chest itself isn't a living being. They only have 15 hp, but beware, as their wooden skin grands them a high defense, as nearly as strong as iron armor, they also immune to most negative potion effect except Wither effect, they take fire damage, as well as a slowness effect while on fire, their bitting attack is very strong with those splinter teeth. They can only be hurt when being hit with axes or battleaxes, they receive minimum damage with any other tools. When tamed, they can either follow, sitting or wander around, their have the same inventory space with a single chest, they can be order with any item, to access their inventory, right click them with a stick, as an act of using the stick as a prevention for their mouth to snap down.
Special chest: It is an infected chest, with crackles from the being twisted by the bug, it however, is identical to a normal chest except for a special texture and it can't form a double chest.
