Gaussian Size & Attribute Variation for Mobs
Screenshots

About this Mod
Fork of Lilliputian by cadaverous_queen (MIT license), a mod that allows random size variation for mobs.
- Changes size distribution to gaussian instead of uniform - this allows extreme variations in size to be more rare and rewarding to come across.
- Scales max health, movement speed, attack damage, knockback resistance, follow range and flying speed to size by configurable amounts.
- Allows additional random variation in these 6 stats by configurable percentage amounts.
- Accurate hitboxes for all mods and sizes.
- No visual "pop-in" effect for mob resizings.
- Highly optimized for performance and bug-free.
Unlike Lilliputian, the config allows you to configure the "sigma" value for each mod (instead of the range) which determines how much size variation the mob undergoes (defaults to 0.0 which is no variation, I recommend 24.0).
Works with all modded entities I tested except Ice & Fire's sea serpent, Fossils & Archeology's dinosaurs (mostly), and Frikinzi's Fauna. It is recommended to blacklist these.

Laputan server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 4 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.12.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Laputan compatible with forge?
Laputan officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.12.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Laputan – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Laputan consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
