Harmful Heights
by Virtuoel
Harmful Heights gives the player a body that changes size, growing as it takes damage and shrinking when it starts small again.
What it does
Harmful Heights scales the player up and down. A character starts small and grows larger each time it takes damage, and the bigger it gets the faster it moves, the farther it reaches and the more blocks it can break at once. Growth is tied to harm taken, so the mechanic pushes players toward risk instead of just adding a stat.
Because a grown player breaks blocks directly around it, larger size can clear terrain as it moves, but it also makes it harder to fit through narrow gaps. The mod depends on Fabric API for its hooks and on Pehkui for resizing the player model, and both must be installed. Config options let server owners adjust how the mechanic behaves.
Key features
Growth from damage
The player starts small and grows larger each time it takes damage, so harm changes the character's size.
Size affects speed
A larger player moves faster, so a bigger character covers ground more quickly than a small one.
Longer reach
Greater size extends how far the player can reach, letting it interact with blocks farther away.
Wider mining area
A larger player breaks more blocks at once, clearing an area of surrounding terrain in one pass.
