About this project

What does Natural Size Variation add?

Natural Size Variation


Isn't it strange that every entity of a type has the exact same size? Let's change that.

With Natural Size Variation every spawned entity gets a random scale modifier assigned, meaning that every mob you encounter is unique. The scale modifier is based on a normal distribution, ensuring that most entities are near their normal size and extreme values only happen rarely.
