Scalesprouts are a unique ingredient obtained by shearing a sprouter. when brewed into a thick potion (not an awkward potion), you can obtain a “Serum of Sprouting”, which permanently grows you, up to a maximum of 3 blocks tall.

You can also invert serums with fermented spider eyes to make a “Serum of Shrinking”, which permanently shrinks you, up to a minimum of 1 block tall. The limit for both variants can be reached by drinking 3 serums. Your scale resets with milk.

Changing your scale also affects your reach, jump height, and safe fall distance.

Experiment around with the 6 possible sizes and figure out which one you like the best!

Once sheared from sprouters, scalesprouts can be used as a brewing ingredient

  • Scalesprouts can only be brewed into thick potions, not awkward potions
    • This is intentional
    • This is because they do not make potions, and do not have splash variants
    • Thick potions, as a reminder, are made using glowstone dust brewed into a water bottle
  • Once brewed into a thick potion, you get a serum of sprouting
    • When drank, this increases your scale
    • You can drink them up to 3 times to reach the maximum size of 3 blocks tall
  • Serums of sprouting can be inverted using fermented spider eyes
    • When drank, this decreases your scale
    • You can drink them up to 3 times to reach the minimum size of 1 block tall
  • All scale effects are permanent and are only cleared by milk or death
  • The serums also affect reach, safe fall distance, and height
    • The smaller you are, the less you reach, and vice-versa
    • You cannot jump a full block you’re 1 block tall, making it difficult to navigate
    • You can jump over fences when you’re 3 blocks tall
    • There are various trade-offs for each scale level; play around and find out!
