Astroneer's Mimics

Mimics try to act like players, trying to lure real players near them, before they reveal themselves and attack.
The mimics sometimes act in groups.
Mimics do not get attacked by hostile mobs, which is a good way to tell them apart.
Description
This mod adds mimics to the game. They are a fairly rare mob spawn (about 3 times as rare as endermen) and take the appearance of a normal player, with a randomized selection from 4 different skins and 10 different names. Mimics can spot the player from a long distance away, and quickly run over to within 4-8 blocks of them. Mimics are able to do basic gestures of communication, like jumping, punching the air, and strafing left and right, all in the purpose of making their target player try to get closer. When you get within 2 blocks of a mimic, it instantly transforms into a zombie and starts attacking the player.
