Mimicrab

**Mimicrab** is a hermit crab that lives in the chest. It will only spawn near a chest and stay there till someone come close in.

## Behavior

### Taming

Using a Caned Rotten Meat(1.3.2) or Ptera Wing(2.0.0+) on a wild Mimicrab has a 33% chance of taming it.

Once tamed, right-click on a Mimicrab will set it into sit, follow or patrol mode (you need to be holding a stick in the 1.12.2 version).

### Breeding

If tamed Mimicrabs are given Caned Rotten Meat(1.3.2) or Ptera Wing(2.0.0+), they enter love mode and pair off to create baby Mimicrab, granting the player a 1-7 experience orbs.

### Portable Chest

A tamed Mimicrab will have 27 slots of inventory and automatically pick up any items nearby.

### Endercrab

Using a Eye of Ender on a tamed Mimicrab will turn it into an Endercrab.
Endercrab loses the ability to pick up items, but gains the ability to access player's Ender Chest inventory.

### Nethercrab

Using a Molten Heart on a tamed Mimicrab will turn it into an Nethercrab. Wild Nethercrab can also be found in the Nether Fortress.
Nethercrab is immune to all sources of fire damage, and will have 20% chances to burn its target for 4 seconds when attacking.

### Ambush

Mimicrab will disguise as a normal chest. When a player tries to open the chest, the Mimicrab would reveal itself and attack.
