# Better Mimic
**Beware the chest!** Not all treasure is what it seems...
## 🎭 Features
### Perfect Disguise
- Mimics look **exactly** like chests — same model, same size, same rotation
- Spawn naturally in the world or use spawn eggs
- Completely invisible until disturbed
### Two Behaviors
- **Aggressive Mimics** 🔴 — Sneak up on players when they're not looking
- **Passive Mimics** 🟢 — Harmless until you try to open them
### Dynamic Combat
- Leap attacks with smooth animations
- Tongue attack with particle effects
- Intelligent AI that tracks player line of sight
- No fall damage — they're built for jumping!
### Loot System
- Collects nearby items while disguised
- Drops stolen loot when killed
- Bonus drops: wood planks, bones, iron, gold, emeralds, diamonds
### Polished Experience
- Custom 3D spawn egg (looks like a chest!)
- Smooth animation transitions
- Block-aligned positioning
- Sound effects for opening, closing, attacking
- Particle effects on landing
