SmallCraft
by papucsevo
SmallCraft lets a player shrink their character to a scale between 0.05x and 3.0x, chosen during setup before a world is entered.
What it does
The scale is set through an in-game setup screen that appears once per world when a player joins, so no command or configuration file is needed to change it. A slider accepts exact values across the full range, and the default is 0.2x. Movement is adjusted by separate sprint and walk multipliers, both defaulting to 1x, which leave vanilla speed untouched until a player changes them.
Fall damage can be disabled entirely or scaled with a custom multiplier between 0.25x and 4x, and by default tiny characters take fall damage too. Two optional toggles are available in the same setup screen: keep inventory on death, which is off by default, and a quick respawn button in the pause menu for players who would otherwise walk back after dying.
The mod requires Fabric Loader, Fabric API and Pehkui, and it was built for Minecraft 1.20.1. It runs on the client and the server, so it works in singleplayer and multiplayer alike. Its only published files are for Fabric, and it is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Custom character scale
The character can be shrunk to 0.2x by default or set anywhere from 0.05x to 3.0x with a slider or an exact value.
Setup screen on world join
Scale, fall damage and speed options appear once per world, so the choices are made before play starts.

Separate sprint and walk multipliers adjust movement speed, each starting at vanilla speed.
Keep inventory toggle
An optional gamerule switch keeps items after death and is off by default in the setup screen.
Quick respawn button
A respawn button in the pause menu lets players return to the world without walking back after dying.

How it compares
Minepickup is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.20.1 and is open source under the MIT License, so it adds nothing to a player's client. No Fall is also server-side only, built for Fabric 1.20.5 and not open source under All rights reserved, and it only covers fall damage. Pehkui Height Scale covers Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 with a client and server environment, and Custom Shield Scale is client-side only for Fabric across the 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 range.
