Size Rayguns
Ever wanted to stomp across a village like a giant or sneak under a door as a tiny version of yourself? Size Rayguns makes that fantasy real. This playful add-on drops two handheld devices into your world: a Shrink Raygun and a Growth Raygun. Point, click, and watch mobs, animals, and even your own character change scale in an instant. It is chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly tactical once you start experimenting.
What Size Rayguns Adds to Your World
The core idea is simple: two ray guns, two effects, endless possibilities. Right-clicking fires the raygun at whatever you are aiming at, scaling the target up or down depending on which gun you hold. Shift right-clicking instead affects you, letting you change your own size on the fly. Your reach actually changes with your size too, so a giant player can interact with blocks from farther away while a tiny one has to get up close and personal.
Here is what you get with the add-on:
- Shrink Raygun: reduces the size of mobs, animals, and players it hits.
- Growth Raygun: increases the size of whatever it strikes.
- Self-scaling via shift right-click for instant personal size changes.
- Reach that scales with your body size for a more immersive feel.
- Crafting and repairing recipes so both rayguns fit naturally into survival play.
Version Support and Loader Details
Minecraft Versions Below 1.21
If you are running a version below 1.21, Size Rayguns requires the Pehkui library to function. Pehkui handles the underlying scaling mechanics, so the add-on will not work correctly without it. Make sure Pehkui is installed alongside the main file before you launch your world.
Minecraft 1.21 and Above
On 1.21 and newer releases, the scaling support is built in, so Pehkui is no longer needed. This keeps your mods folder cleaner and reduces the chance of version conflicts. Always check the exact game version listed on the download page before installing, since add-on updates often target specific snapshots and stable releases.
How to Install Size Rayguns
Installation is straightforward once you know your loader. Most players run this add-on through Fabric, so the process looks like this:
- Confirm your Minecraft version and install the matching loader.
- Place the Size Rayguns file into your mods folder.
- Add Pehkui as well if your version is below 1.21.
- Launch the game and verify the rayguns appear in the creative menu or via crafting.
If you prefer a smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher bundles Size Rayguns into its curated add-on catalog, so you can add it with a single click and let the launcher handle version matching and updates automatically. That saves you from manually hunting down Pehkui or worrying about mismatched builds.
Crafting, Repairing, and Practical Uses
Both rayguns come with crafting recipes, so you do not need creative mode to enjoy them. Once crafted, they can be repaired like most tools, which means a long survival session will not leave you empty-handed. The real fun starts when you combine them with other mechanics. Shrink a raid boss to trivialize a fight, grow a chicken into a feathered titan, or shrink yourself to slip through a one-block gap. Builders use the Growth Raygun to create oversized decorative mobs, while redstone engineers shrink villagers to fit them into compact trading halls.
Tips for New Players
Start by testing the rayguns on passive mobs before trying them on hostile ones. Scaling a creeper down makes it far less threatening, but scaling one up turns it into a walking disaster. Keep a spare raygun in your inventory, and remember that your own reach changes when you shift right-click, which can throw off your aim until you adjust.
Final Thoughts
Size Rayguns is one of those add-ons that turns an ordinary survival world into a sandbox of absurd experiments. Whether you want to dominate a battlefield as a colossus or explore caves as a pocket-sized adventurer, the two rayguns deliver instant, satisfying results. Just remember the Pehkui requirement for older versions, pick the right loader, and download Size Rayguns for Minecraft to start reshaping everything around you.
