Bigger and Better?
The mod can change the body shape of any organism in survival mode
About this Mod
Zombies now have about a 5% chance to spawn with their size scaled between 1x to 6x. Larger zombies are significantly stronger!
Killing zombies larger than 1.5x size has a chance to drop a Potion of Growth (drop chance increases with the zombie's size).
Using a Brewing Stand, you can transform the Potion of Growth into an Improved Potion of Growth or an Improved Potion of Shrinking.
These improved potions can then be crafted into Growth Apples and Shrinking Apples, which can alter the size of any mob. A mob's strength and health will scale accordingly with its size.
