Random Height
by Yifei061004
Random Height is a Forge minigame mod that changes each player's height at set intervals, using Pehkui to scale the character.
What it does
Once installed, the mod picks a new height for every player at regular intervals and applies it through Pehkui. The interval length can be set in the config, and so can the range of scale values the random height is drawn from. A countdown reminder appears before each change, so players know when their size will shift.
The mod's behavior is controlled through a command system, which lets server owners adjust timing and scale limits without editing files by hand. Cloth Config API provides the settings screen, and Pehkui does the actual scaling, so both must be present for the mod to work. Files target Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47.4.20 or later and Pehkui 3.8.2 or later.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the MIT License. Only the single game version 1.20.1 is supported, and the latest Forge file, 1.0.1, was published on 2026-06-14.
Key features
Timed height changes
Each player's height is randomized automatically every set interval, without any manual trigger.
Configurable interval
The time between height changes can be adjusted, so rounds can be short or long.
Adjustable scale range
The minimum and maximum height scale can be set, limiting how small or tall a player can become.
Countdown reminder
A warning counts down before each height change, giving players time to prepare.
Command configuration
Settings can be changed through a full command system, suited to server administration.

How it compares
Pehkui Height Scale is a Fabric and Forge mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved and is not open source; it sets a player's height directly rather than randomizing it on a timer. Random Size is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod for 1.20.5 – 26.3 under the MIT License that is server required and client optional, which suits servers that want the effect without requiring players to install anything. Random Swap is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and covers 1.19 – 1.19.3, so it does not run on 1.20.1.
