Config - tristankechlo/RandomMobSizes GitHub Wiki

With the config you can configure which mobs can spawn in which sizes.
When a mob is not in the config it will spawn with no scaling.
After you changed the config you need to reload the config with the command /random_mob_sizes config reload or restart the game.

Location

The config can be found here ./minecraft/config/random_mob_sizes.json
You can edit the config with any text editor. One with syntax highlighting/checking for json is recommended.
You can check if the config has a valid json-syntax with this website.

Structure

The config is structured as a simple map. So only Key-Value pairs.
The key is always the id of the mob as a string. Format: namespace:entity_name
The value is the scaling factor. This can be either a number or an object.

Static Scaling

If the value is a number, all mobs with this id will spawn with this scaling factor applied.
Example for a number: "minecraft:cow": 0.75, this would cause all cows to spawn with a size of 75% of the default size.

Random Scaling

If the value is an object, the mob will spawn with a random scaling factor between the min and max scaling.
The object always needs to have these 3 keys:

• min_scaling - The minimum scaling factor. This is a number between 0 and 10
• max_scaling - The maximum scaling factor. This is a number between 0 and 10
• type - The type of distribution. This is a string. The type can be either uniform or gaussian.
  • uniform will cause the scaling factor to be evenly distributed between the min and max scaling (random value between min and max)
  • gaussian will cause the scaling factor to be distributed according to a gaussian distribution. This causes that most mobs will spawn with a scaling factor close to the center of the min and max scaling. So the extreme large and small mobs will spawn less often.

Example for an object:

"minecraft:cow": {
    "type": "uniform",
    "min_scaling": 0.5,
    "max_scaling": 1.5
}

This would cause all cows to spawn with a random size between 50% and 150% of the default size.

Default Config

the default config look like this

{
	"minecraft:cow": {
		"type": "uniform",
		"min_scaling": 0.5,
		"max_scaling": 1.5
	},
	"minecraft:pig": {
		"type": "gaussian",
		"min_scaling": 0.5,
		"max_scaling": 1.5
	},
	"minecraft:chicken": {
		"type": "gaussian",
		"min_scaling": 0.5,
		"max_scaling": 1.5
	},
	"minecraft:frog": {
		"type": "gaussian",
		"min_scaling": 0.5,
		"max_scaling": 1.5
	},
	"minecraft:bat": 0.75,
	"minecraft:sheep": {
		"type": "gaussian",
		"min_scaling": 0.5,
		"max_scaling": 1.5
	}
}
