Few tips from the wiki.

Real Chests will show up on the minimap, but mimics will not.

Spelunker Potion will not cause a Mimic to glow, and Hunter Potion will.

Mimics disguised as Gold Chests or Shadow Chests will not produce a sparkle animation as the real versions do.

Hitting an inactive Mimic will activate it.

Mimics may not line up perfectly with blocks, as normal Chests would.

They can also appear in front of background objects, which real chests cannot.

Hope this helps any!

Since they require natural background walls to spawn, if you mine out a somewhat large area, but leave the walls intact, you can use that as a spawning ground for Mimics. If you set it up as something like a bunch of 3 block high tunnels going across the entire length, you can run through them and see if a Mimic spawned in any.

You can also make a floating safe spot that enemies cannot reach or hit you in, but you can get into easily, wait in that for a bit, exit and kill the visibly spawned enemies, and check the spawning ground for any chests, chests that would have to be Mimics.

Just adding onto the above posters info, to try and help :)

yeah i just killed the destryer

[The Bloody Recluse]

Just make a large tunnel with platforms with the tunnel being fairly high

[seeaaannnn]

Drink a hunter potion.

Mimics sometimes will not line up in blocks.

I think moving the cursor to the chest will probably say "minic"

Expert here! So you have a problem getting mimics, well to start this out you need to be in hardmode, Next you can either search around caves that you have already been in hundreds of times or you can build a giant cave like 200x100 or bigger than just fly up where you can't see the ground and than wait like 5 to 10 seconds and go back down repeat this step many times and it will work got around 2 to 3 micimic last time i have tried takes some thime but its will work. Useing water candles and battle potions plus some beetle armor or turtle armor will make them come a lot faster. No need for turtle or beetle armor if you don't have it. Good Luck XD

cool, i tried the tunnels that are 3 blocks high but those didnt really work.. but your saying making a really big one will? plus waiting alittle to?

Just strike every chest you see with a ranged weapon to see if its alive this includes (gold,water,ice,wooden, and shadow chest). Never seen a ivy chest or lizard because is does not excist so don't worry about those two. Good Luck XD
