Resize
Resize is a lightweight, fast, and remarkably flexible plugin that brings dynamic size-changing mechanics to your Minecraft server. Whether you want to tower over your friends as a giant, shrink to the size of a mouse, or scale mobs for hilarious mini-games, Resize makes it happen with just a few commands. Designed for Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper servers, it supports modern Minecraft versions from 1.16 through 1.20.x, ensuring broad compatibility. The plugin blends smooth animations, intelligent permission handling, and deep integration with popular tools like LuckPerms, WorldGuard, and PlaceholderAPI—all while keeping server performance snappy.
What is Resize for Minecraft?
Resize for Minecraft is a server-side plugin that gives players and administrators precise control over entity scale. Instead of static models, you can adjust your own size or that of any mob using decimal values, with optional smooth transitions that make the change visually pleasing. The plugin respects configurable global limits, group-specific boundaries via LuckPerms, and region restrictions through WorldGuard. It’s perfect for fun servers, PvP arenas, RPG adventures, and event-driven gameplay where size matters. Because it’s built to be intuitive yet deeply configurable, Resize fits seamlessly into almost any server setup.
Key Features of Resize
Resize packs an impressive array of features into a compact package. Here’s a closer look at what you can do:
Player and Mob Size Commands
Changing your size is as simple as typing /resize <size>. Decimal values like 0.6, 1.2, or 2.5 are fully supported, and you can instantly reset to normal with /resize reset (or /resize r). To resize a mob, just look at it and use /resize mob <size>. The plugin enforces a configurable maximum targeting distance, so you won’t accidentally affect entities far away. Both commands respect global and group-based limits, keeping everything balanced.
Smooth Size Change Animation
Instead of an abrupt snap, Resize can animate size transitions. When you enable the animation option in the config and set a duration (in seconds), players and mobs will smoothly grow or shrink. This small touch adds a lot of polish, especially on roleplay or immersive servers where visual fluidity matters.
Group-Based Limits with LuckPerms
If your server uses LuckPerms, Resize can automatically detect a player’s primary group and apply custom size limits. For example, you might allow VIPs a max size of 1.4, while a Titan rank can reach 3.0. Mob limits can also differ per group. If LuckPerms isn’t installed, the plugin gracefully falls back to the global scale values—no errors, no fuss. This makes rank-based progression feel tangible and fair.
WorldGuard Integration
Resize introduces a custom WorldGuard flag: /rg flag <region> resize allow|deny. With it, you can enable or disable resizing in specific regions like spawn, arenas, or protected build areas. Players entering a denied region will have their size automatically reset, preserving the intended atmosphere of each zone. WorldGuard is optional, so the plugin works perfectly without it.
Automatic Size Reset on Damage
A fully configurable system can reset a player’s size when they deal or receive damage, die, or engage in PvP. You can fine-tune which damage sources trigger a reset—player vs. player, mob, or environmental—and even exempt administrators. This feature is a game-changer for balanced combat, RPG mechanics, and event servers where size advantages need to be controlled.
PlaceholderAPI Support
Resize integrates with PlaceholderAPI, exposing placeholders like %resize_current_size%, %resize_max_size%, and mob-specific ones. Display size information in scoreboards, tab lists, or chat messages to keep players informed. The placeholders respect group limits and admin bypasses, so the data is always accurate.
Administrator Tools
Admins with the resize.admin permission can bypass all restrictions: change other players’ sizes, ignore cooldowns, override WorldGuard flags, and view unlimited size ranges in /resize info. This makes moderation and event management effortless, giving you full creative control.
Anti-Spam and Cooldowns
A built-in cooldown system prevents command spam for both /resize and /resize mob. You can set the delay in seconds to keep chat clean and server performance stable, while still allowing quick size changes when needed.
Size Persistence
With save-sizes: true in the config, a player’s size is saved and restored when they rejoin. If you prefer everyone to start fresh each session, set it to false and sizes reset to 1.0 on login. This flexibility lets you tailor the experience to your server’s style.
Multi-Language Support
Resize ships with language files for English, Russian, German, Spanish, Polish, and Brazilian Portuguese. You can even use HEX color codes in messages for a vibrant, customized look. Switching languages is as simple as changing one line in the config.
Configuration Reload
Use /resize reload to apply config and language file changes without restarting the server. This makes tweaking settings during live gameplay quick and hassle-free.
How to Install Resize for Minecraft
Installing Resize is straightforward. First, make sure your server runs a compatible version (1.16–1.20.x) on Paper, Spigot, or Bukkit. Download Resize from the official Spigot resource page or a trusted plugin repository. Place the JAR file into your server’s plugins folder, then restart the server. The plugin will generate a default configuration file that you can customize to your liking.
If you prefer a streamlined approach, the foxygame.net launcher offers Resize in its add-on catalog, enabling a one-click install that automatically matches your server version and keeps the plugin updated. This launcher also includes an auto-update feature for Resize, so you never miss a new version or compatibility fix. After installation, review the permissions and set up any optional dependencies like LuckPerms or WorldGuard if desired. Then you’re ready to start resizing!
