Flower Mimics is a mod made for SpookyJam 2023. It's highly configurable. By default, whenever a player walks around at night, any flower can be a mimic and turn into a mob. When this happens, lightning will strike. The mimic will have a custom name. When the player kills the mimics, extra items and experience are dropped. The flower from which it transforms, will be placed back in the original location. There is a 1/50 chance that a flower is a mimic.
Can cause some jump scares! 👻
While there are default values for an instant experience, it's possible to change a lot of behaviour. Which flowers can become mimics, what items are dropped and various settings when and how mimics should appear.
All available config options:
flowerIsMimicChance default 0.02, min 0, max 1.0
The chance an encountered flower is a mimic, and transforms into a mob.
extraExperienceOnMimicDeath default 30
The amount of extra experience that should drop whenever a mimic is killed.
dropExtraItemsOnMimicDeath default true
Whether the items specified in ./config/flowermimics/.. should be dropped whenever a mimic is killed.
onlyTransformMimicsAtNight default true
Whether flowers should only transform into mobs when it is night time. When disabled, they can always transform.
resetMimicsBeforeNightTime default true
Whether mimic flower possibilities should be reset when the day turns into night.
removeFlowerBlockOnMimicSpawn default true
Whether the flower block from which the mimic transforms should be removed on spawn.
dropFlowerItemOnMimicDeath default false
If the mimic flower should be dropped on death. Must have 'removeFlowerBlockOnMimicSpawn' enabled.

There are also two config files located in ./config/flowermimics/. :
It's possible to configure what flower mimics will turn into. Will also work with modded entities and flowers:
./config/flowermimics/flower_mimics.txt
You can change what items flower mimics will drop:
./config/flowermimics/flower_item_drops.txt
Be careful when walking around at night! A flower might just be something else:
By default, whenever you kill a mimic it'll place the original flower back. Extra items and experience are dropped by the mimic:
