Frequently asked questions

How do I know which version I have installed?
Load into a world and hold any weapon or tool in your hand. If it appears noticeably smaller than normal, you have the Full Version; if weapons and tools look regular-sized but items and blocks are smaller, you have the Standard Weapons & Tools version.
Can I switch between Full and Standard versions without reinstalling?
Yes, you can replace your resource pack file with the alternate version and restart your game—no need to reinstall the mod itself. Make sure to delete the old pack files from your resourcepacks folder first to avoid conflicts.
Why do my held items still look big after installing?
Check that the resource pack is actually enabled in your resource pack menu and ranked above any conflicting packs. If you're using the Standard version, remember that weapons and tools intentionally remain full-sized in that variant.
Does this work with other resource packs?
Yes, but place this pack lower in your resource pack list than packs you want to override it—higher packs take priority. If you notice visual conflicts, try reordering the packs or checking if the other pack also modifies held item sizes.
