Grow beyond the doorway. Shrink beneath it. See familiar Minecraft places from a different point of view.
Growth and Shrinking potions for Minecraft 26.2 on Fabric, with gradual transformations, tiny mounts and a world that responds to your size.
Try walking through a half-block gap, taking a bee for a flight, or standing on a much larger friend's head. Being small and being large each bring advantages—and trade-offs.
A few things to try:
- Walk, then sprint, at different sizes. Smaller legs do not necessarily mean a slower escape.
- Take a saddle on your next trip. Some familiar animals make surprisingly useful companions.
- Bring a friend of a different size. Riding and standing on someone are not the same thing.
- Revisit familiar creatures and everyday chores after a transformation. There is more to size than reach.
The three default tiny mounts. Saddles can be equipped at any size; riding depends on your size relative to theirs.
Brew an Awkward Potion with a Slime Ball to begin growing, then try a Fermented Spider Eye to reverse the idea. If Alex's Mobs Continued supplies Elastic Tendon, use that instead of the Slime Ball.
The brewing stand has more to offer. When you want the answers, the player guide contains recipes, exact numbers, controls and all the less-obvious interactions. It is deliberately spoiler-rich.
One control worth knowing: ordinary Use mounts a saddled tame wolf with an empty hand; without a saddle it keeps sit/stand. Crouch + Use opens its equipment inventory. Feeding and other item interactions retain their vanilla meaning. Wild ride-taming still uses Crouch + Use. These follow your configured bindings, not hardcoded keys.
Requires Minecraft 26.2, Java 25, Fabric Loader 0.19.5+ and Fabric API 0.159.0+26.2 or newer for 26.2.

No other mod is required. English and Spanish translations are included. World owners can tune or disable optional mechanics through JSON configuration.
When Alchemical Leather is installed, Scale Brews owns the compatibility declarations for its own potion effects. Growth and Shrinking are mapped to chestplate infusions, and both explicitly declare wear: none: maintaining a size state does not consume armor durability merely because time passes. The integration is data-only and adds no hard dependency, so Scale Brews behaves normally when Alchemical Leather is absent. The implementation and validation record lives in the TM compatibility note.
This is a beta, not a promise of compatibility with every pack. Back up worlds before updating. See tested behavior and remaining QA.
Tiny Mounts remain ordinary Minecraft mounts at the integration boundary. When a compatible gravity provider is present, Scale-generated bee flight, chicken glide and wolf pounce/landing use the root mount's effective gravity frame instead of assuming world-down. Gravity Changer is the provider Scale Brews currently recognizes automatically; with no provider installed, the frame falls back to vanilla DOWN and Tiny Mount behavior is unchanged. See effective-gravity integration.
Living platforms currently provide upper support surfaces, not full-body collisions. The new all-direction anatomical system and shared Clinging Reoriented physics are unfinished and disabled in normal gameplay; their presence in the source is not a released feature. Development status.
