###The Mimic v1.2 - Changelog ### New Features & Mechanics: * **Water Phobia**: The Mimic now completely avoids entering water (similar to Endermen). If it touches water, it will instantly despawn with a creepy smoke and ink particle effect accompanied by a sibilant sound. * **Player Head Drop**: Defeating the Mimic now has a 10% chance (1 in 10) to drop the player head corresponding to the victim whose skin it stole. ### AI & Behavior Improvements: * **Reworked Stalking**: Improved the stalking behavior. The Mimic now stays at a distance between 16 and 24 blocks, standing completely still to stare intently at the player, and smoothly retreats if approached too closely. * **Adjusted Speeds**: Reduced the fleeing/hiding speed to make its retreats feel more stealthy and unsettling, while keeping its aggressive attack speed fast and dangerous when provoked. ### Performance & Optimizations: * **Multiplayer Optimization**: Further refined server-side logic and timed intervals for skin loading to guarantee smooth performance and eliminate lag during online or LAN sessions ### Technical: * Compiled and optimized for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge)..
