Scales
by ItsCatYT
Scales lets players change their own player scale, using a tablet item or commands, on a NeoForge server for 1.21.1.
What it does
Scales adds a tablet item that changes the size of the player holding it. The mod also provides commands for setting scale, so server owners can adjust it from the console or an operator account. The author describes the first release as an early demo that includes the core scaling functionality, with more options planned for later updates.
The mod is built for NeoForge and works on a single version, 1.21.1, with its only file dated 2026-07-04 on the beta channel. It needs to be installed on both the client and the server, because the tablet and commands are handled on both sides. The custom license means the mod is not open source, and the author publishes an issue tracker for bug reports.
Key features
Tablet item
A tablet item changes the holder's player scale, so resizing does not require typing a command.
Scale commands
Commands let operators set and configure the player scale, with more configuration options promised for future updates.
Lightweight setup
The mod has a simple implementation with minimal setup, and it is described by its author as lightweight.
Early preview scaling system
The first release is an early demo, and the scaling system is expected to gain additional options and customization later.

Use cases
Playing at a different size
A player can change their own scale with the tablet while exploring the world, for a different view of the terrain and builds.
Server commands
Server owners can use the commands to let operators resize players, for events or challenges on a server running the mod.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on NeoForge 1.21.1 who want to change player size. The mod suits anyone who accepts an early demo release that is expected to grow with more options and quality-of-life changes.
How it compares
PMW Vortex Scale is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and like Scales it runs on client and server. Power Scale is also a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that runs on client and server, but it is released under All rights reserved rather than a permissive license. Simple Scaling covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.5 – 1.21.1 and is server required with an optional client, which differs from the required two-sided install of Scales.
