Dwarfs and Giants - Scale potions
by YolkaJess
Dwarfs and Giants adds craftable potions that change the size of the player, mobs and armor stands, and the server needs it while players may skip it.
What it does
Potions made from crafting recipes let a player or a mob grow or shrink. Drinking a potion changes the drinker's own scale, while splash versions change the scale of entities they hit. A scale normalization potion returns a target to its default size. A changed scale also shifts how high a player can climb in one step, how far a fall is survived without damage, how far blocks and entities can be reached, and how fast the target moves, so a giant and a dwarf differ in more than appearance.
The mod is a data pack, so it is available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt and can be disabled or deleted without breaking the world. Server owners and personal-use players can tweak settings and recipes by editing files, including the size stages and the minimum and maximum sizes allowed. Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it. Files cover 14 release versions, 1.20.5 – 1.21.11, plus snapshot builds. The license is the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Splash variants
Splash growth, shrink and scale normalization potions change the size of mobs and armor stands they hit, and nothing else.
Size range settings
Minimum and maximum sizes are set in the files, so the allowed scale range can be adjusted for a world.
