SpyglassMe - Shrink & Grow Your World!
Ever wanted to shrink a creeper to the size of a silverfish, or make your pet wolf a towering giant? SpyglassMe introduces two magical spyglasses that let you alter the size of almost any entity in the world! Gaze through the Shrinking Glass to make things tiny, or the Growing Glass to make them colossal. Your world, your scale!
Features
Magical Spyglasses
- Shrinking Glass & Growing Glass: Two new custom-textured spyglasses that serve as your tools for reality-bending fun.
- How to Obtain: The spyglasses can be crafted using the default recipes or found as treasure in loot chests! Both methods can be customized.
Dynamic Scaling
- Simple to Use: Just look at an entity (players, animals, or monsters) and hold right-click to continuously change their size. You can even look down to change your own size!
- Highly Configurable: Use
settings.ymlto control theSCALE_STEP(how much size changes) andSCALE_PER(whether the effect applies per "tick" or per "second"). - Target Permissions: Fine-grained permissions allow you to control who can resize other players, animals, mobs, or themselves.
Configurable Cost System
- Pay to Play: Set a cost for using the spyglasses in the
settings.ymlconfig file. Costs for shrinking and growing can be configured independently. - Cost Types: Choose between
xp,item(e.g.,minecraft:diamond),economy(integrates with server economy plugins via command), ornone. - Bypass: Players with the
SpyGlassMe.bypass.costpermission can use the spyglasses for free.
Safety Limits & Bypasses
- Keep Chaos in Check: Configure server-wide
MIN_SCALEandMAX_SCALElimits to prevent players from creating microscopic or world-breakingly large entities. - Go Beyond: Admins or VIPs with the
SpyGlassMe.bypass.limitspermission can ignore the configured scale limits.
The Milky Way Back to Normal
- Reset Yourself: Drank a little too much growing potion? Drinking a standard Milk Bucket will instantly reset your own size back to default.
- Reset Others: Made a friend a bit too tiny? Right-clicking any entity with a Milk Bucket will return them to their normal size.
Datapack & Customization
SpyglassMe is designed to be easily customized by server owners!
- Auto-Generated Datapack: When a world is first loaded, the mod automatically creates a
SpyGlassMedatapack inside your world'sdatapacksfolder. This contains the default crafting recipes, which you can edit freely. - Easy Loot Customization: To add the spyglasses to loot chests, we provide an optional pre-configured datapack with common loot tables.
- Download the loot datapack here: SpyGlassMe Loot Datapack
- Copy the loot table files from the download into the mod's auto-generated datapack folder (
/datapacks/SpyGlassMe/...). - Run
/reloadin-game. This gives you full control to add or remove spyglasses from any structure's chests!
- Reloading: Recipe and loot changes require the vanilla
/reloadcommand, while config changes insettings.ymlrequire/spyglassme reload.

Single-Player & Permissions Notes
- Single-player: All features are available by default without any special setup.
- Multiplayer: This mod uses the Fabric Permissions API. For full control over who can do what, a compatible permission manager (e.g., LuckPerms) is recommended on the server.
- Default Behavior: If no permissions manager is found, permissions default to the required operator level (e.g., OP Level 4 for admin commands).
