Call of the King
by owlycode
Call of the King lets a server owner name a mob and make it watch the player as it grows in size, through a data pack.
What it does
The mod is distributed as a data pack that players and servers load into a world, and it adds a mob that can be named and scaled. Installing it means placing the .zip file in the datapacks folder of the world, then entering the world. The data pack is available on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds for 26.2 and the latest version v1.2+mod for 26.2.
The server must run the data pack, while clients may leave it out. Players join without installing anything. The code is not open source; the author keeps all rights reserved, so redistribution is not granted by the license.
Key features
Named mob that watches
A mob can be given a custom name, and it turns its attention to the player as it grows larger over time.
Growing size
The mob increases in size during play, so its presence in a world changes as the game goes on.
Data pack delivery
The content ships as a data pack, so it is added to a world through its datapacks folder rather than as a loader mod.

Use cases
Server events
Server owners can place the named mob into a world to create a scripted encounter for their players.
Who it’s for: Server owners and map makers who want a named, growing mob in a world and are comfortable placing a data pack in a datapacks folder.
How it compares
Random Player Size runs on the server with a GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only license and files for 1.21.2 – 26.2. RandomScale is installed on the server alone, with files for 1.21.6 – 26.3 under All rights reserved, and King Boo follows the same server-side setup under All rights reserved. The choice depends on the size or mob behaviour a server wants.
