๐ญ MIMICADEMIC: Nothing is what it seems anymore... ๐ญ
Achievement friendly!
It started with a smell. Sweet, a little sharp, drifting over the plains after a thunderstorm. The villagers called it "the academic air", because the old librarian swore it came from a book he should never have opened.
Then the cows started acting strange. One morning a farmer counted his herd and found a creeper standing in the pen, chewing grass. When he got closer, it mooed.
By nightfall the whole world had caught it. Zombies shuffled through villages wearing the faces of sheep. A pack of wolves trotted past looking like chickens. A villager went to bed, and the thing tucked under his blanket was an ender dragon.
The chemical in the air teaches every creature to wear someone else's look. It doesn't change what they are. It only changes what you see. That "cow" behind you? Better listen closely.
๐ WHAT MIMICADEMIC DOES
๐ญ Every mob wears a disguise: any mob can look like any other mob. There are 91 mob looks and 18 player-style figures (Steve and Alex included, plus tuxedo, boxer, tennis, cyclist, athlete, developer and prisoner versions, and a Scottish Steve and a Swedish Alex).
๐ง Only the look changes: a disguised mob keeps its own behavior, health, attacks and sounds. A chicken that hisses is not a chicken. A "sheep" that sneaks up behind you and starts to fizz... run.
๐ Players are never disguised: you'll always know who your friends are. Mostly.
๐ HOW TO FIND THE TRUTH
๐ง Water and rain: they wash the disguise right off. Mobs show their true selves in water or rain, and the fake look creeps back about 5 seconds after they dry off.
โก Lightning: every strike flashes the truth. For a moment, every mob anywhere near the strike drops its disguise.
๐งช Potion of Non-Mimicry: throw it, and every mob in the splash stays revealed until the next day begins.
๐ฎ Truth Lantern: place it, or hold it in either hand, and its bright glow shows the true form of every mob within 5 blocks. Walk around with it at night and watch the "cows" turn into creepers.
๐ฑ HOW YOU GET THEM
๐ซง Mimic Residue: slain mimics sometimes drop it. It's the key to everything else.
โ๏ธ Potion of Non-Mimicry: brew Mimic Residue into an Awkward Potion, or craft 2 Mimic Residue + a Glass Bottle + Gunpowder. You can also find it in chests in dungeons, mineshafts, desert pyramids, jungle temples, woodland mansions, strongholds and pillager outposts.
๐ฎ Truth Lantern: craft 8 iron nuggets around 1 Mimic Residue.
๐ WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
Every walk through a village becomes a guessing game. Every herd might be hiding something with teeth. It's hilarious, it's creepy, and you'll never trust a sheep again.
Experiments: none needed. It only uses the stable scripting API and no experimental features, so it works on Bedrock 1.26.50 or newer with every experiment toggle off. Achievement friendly too!
