RealSize
by PyreHaven
RealSize, a server-side Fabric mod by PyreHaven, changes how large or small mobs appear by adjusting their scale attributes on the server.
What it does
The mod reads Minecraft's built-in scale attributes and lets a server owner set per-mob values, so bees can look tiny and horses can look large. Example entries in the config use Minecraft registry IDs such as minecraft:bee. Global limits bound how far the scaling can go, which keeps the change from becoming extreme.
Scaled mobs are handled alongside the vanilla systems that depend on size. Small mobs stay visible at a greater distance because the tracking range is increased for them. Large mobs receive a higher step height, so they walk over small blocks instead of getting stuck on them. Only the server needs the mod, and players join without installing it.
Installation needs Fabric API on the server, and RealSize is published for Fabric only. Files cover 1.21.1 – 26.2 across 13 release versions, with the latest file 1.1.3 for 26.2. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Per-mob scale values
Server owners assign a scale to individual mobs by registry ID, with separate values for each entry.
Global size limits
Minimum and maximum bounds keep scaling within a range that the server owner sets in the config.
Extended tracking range
Small scaled mobs are tracked from a greater distance, so they do not disappear while still in view.
Step height for large mobs
Oversized mobs gain a modest step-height increase, letting them climb over terrain without snagging.

Tuning a single species
An owner can enlarge or shrink one kind of mob and leave every other mob at its default size.
Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack authors who want mobs drawn at different sizes. Players on a server that runs the mod need nothing extra installed.

What the author says
RealSize makes Minecraft mobs feel closer to real-world sizes. Bees can be tiny, horses can feel properly large, and server owners decide how far to push the effect. It is a server-side Fabric mod for servers and modpacks that want more believable mob scale without making small mobs vanish or large mobs get stuck on…
