Reduce Item Size to Improve Combat Visibility

Why Shrink Items?

Large items like shields, totems of undying, and golden apples can block your view during intense PvP fights. This pack automatically scales down these items so you can see enemies and projectiles more clearly.

What Gets Smaller

The following items are reduced in size:

  • Shields (held in off-hand or main hand)
  • Totems of undying
  • Golden apples
  • Carved pumpkins (when worn on your head)

These changes apply automatically once the pack is active—no configuration needed.

How to Verify It's Working

Equip a shield or hold a totem of undying in your hand. Compare the item size to vanilla Minecraft. You should notice the item takes up significantly less screen space while remaining fully functional. The item still works exactly the same way; it just doesn't obstruct your vision as much.

Armor Visibility

The pack also cleans up armor textures so you can quickly identify what gear other players are wearing during combat. This helps you assess threats faster without needing to look away from the fight.
