About this Mod

Fabric Mob Heights

A lightweight Fabric mod that introduces subtle, realistic height differences while staying true to vanilla gameplay. Inspired by Variable Mob Height, reimagined for Fabric 1.20-1.20.4. Fully customizable via Mod Menu.

🎯 Features

  • Realistic size variations reflecting natural animal proportions
  • Persistent mob scaling through NBT data
  • Compatibility with modded mobs & resource packs
  • Customizable scaling ranges via Mod Menu
