Death=Different Size
by BloodGamer
Death=Different Size is a Fabric minigame in which a player's body changes size when they die, using the Pehkui library for scaling.
What it does
When a player dies, the size of their character changes, so the death carries a visible penalty beyond the usual respawn. The effect is handled by Pehkui, which Death=Different Size requires alongside Fabric API. Both Fabric API and Pehkui must be installed next to the mod on Fabric for 1.21.1. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and the license is a custom license with the code not open source.
Key features
Size changes on death
Each death alters the character's size, so the change is visible to other players on the server.
Pehkui-based scaling
Scaling is done through Pehkui, so the size change uses an existing library rather than custom rendering.
