My fave is being tiny, right now i'm as tiny as I can be! i'm living in a big jungle biome in a little dirt/leaves cave!
I have seen one ocelot... Lucky it didn't see me! xD
I'm just wondering if you can still tame ocelots or not though?
I also have a world where i'm as huge as you can get!
I'm carving out a mountain to make a home! Its half done but its taking a while...
But anyway, AWESOME mod!

I've got a challenge for all of you. Try to kill the Enderdragon at 8X normal size without using dyes.(Potions are fine just not dyes)
EDIT: Oh wait. You may use dyes ONCE to get into your first nether portal. Once you get into the nether portal you must throw the dyes into the lava or fire.(Bring stuff to make potions of ensmalling-you'll need them to get back)
I have to say I've under estimated the 0.125 challenge. I've had to restart twice already (Playing on hardcore and refuse to go survival), but the added challenge is also sooo much fun.
This world is much larger than I remember.
And I find myself helpless against the natural forces of this world.
Within moments of spawning, I witnessed my forest burn down by lava.
All I could do is watch in horror as the gigantic trees burned to the ground.
;(
But I gathered my senses and collected wood and made a sword >
But my-oh-my, hunting for wool turned out to be a surprise. O_o
All that gathering of wood, only to be murdered by a sheep -.-
And then to be squashed by a chicken! Dear Lord!
A chicken of all mobs? The most derpy and nooby passive mob of all time?
What has this world come to?!
This my friends, this is going to be one tough ride...
Gulliver's Diary day Two:
Diary, I have managed to make some meager shelter and resources and a bed.
Things look bright for once.
All though I don't have any torches... :/ *bada boosh*
I have found and made the wand of tiny block placement, and have used it to make stairs into my main hiding tunnel.
However, I spend most of my time hunting for food, starving, and sleeping to survive.
I managed to find some reeds and now have some paper.
I write on this book now as it calms me and keeps me focused on the tasks at hand.
The paper is a useful tool for flying from treetop to treetop.
But all that tree-hopping ended with a chicken ninja kicking me to my death @_@
I have avoided all hostile mobs thus far, but only due to sheer terror.
How would I avoid a creeper explosion at this size?
I need a fishing rod, some string, and a bow.
And arrows.
But all these things are lacking.
And I am not sure exactly what to do now.
I know I need to hunt, but I need armor and the like first.
And I probably could use a pet wuff...
Gulliver's Diary Day Three:
Ack! This is tedious work!
Chopping down trees and mining takes so much work!
This world is a lot of work for a little fellow like myself.
The best thing though is how beautiful everything looks.
And how awesome I look with my uber large sword
Oh I have found some coal and made some torches
Here I am next to the Eiffel Tower!:
I even found desert trees, this is simply a marvelous discovery!
I have work to do.. so much work to do, and it takes so long to do anything! XD
Aiya, guess I'll get to work tomorrow eh? :3
Well, I made 3 bottles of water and got a red mushroom, now all I need is some obsidian and a netherportal and the like.
So I can get some netherwart of course! (I think that's needed to grant me biggerness lol)
Well, that is all for now dear diary.
I shall try to farm next, and shall see how this works.. since hunting is god awful.. >O<
Lol, hang in there buddy and together we shall conquer all the lands.. slowly.. one block.. one mob.. at a time...
Gulliver's Diary Day Four:
Today, yes today!, I went mining!
I found a nice cave nearby where I live and I scouted it out, but found no iron ;<
It was a dead end as I feared, and I slumped against the wall in sadness.
I'd have to climb my way out of there empty handed.. @-@
But lo and behold! I was not so easily discouraged!
Brandishing my cobblestone pick-axe I chopped into the smooth stone nearby
rendering it cracked and open to my passage.
Smiling wickedly I descended further into the cave, amazed at my intelligence and prowess.
But then I stopped.
D:
This is taking forever!
It took like ages just to mine this out:
But then I realized: The old ways simply do not work anymore.
I began afresh, began with that epic new-car smell in my mind, and forged on.
I made tunnels like so:
Tunnels that I realized not only would protect me from things that go bump in the night,
but which also would allow me to move much faster and get much more done.
I realized my relative size gave me the ability to dig extensive tunneling systems, burrows if you will, underground in a span of time that simply wasn't possible back in my homelands, where I was normal sized.
And then I found it! YES! IRROONNN!! \m/_(^U^)_\m/
Booyah baby!
My life was complete in that moment, and I gushed excitement and rejoiced for tiny people everywhere!
It is good to be a borrower!
I was satisfied with that then and there, all that mining is extremely exhausting you know,
especially when you are like 12.5% the size of the things you are mining! @^@
My tunneling system: (part of it)
So I huffed and puffed my way back up only to be surprised by, no not cake, a gigantic zombie face OF DOOM! D:
I hid from it and it wandered off, but you could still see it there.. waiting to sink its vicious teeth into me! D:
I backed up so fast it wasn't even funny, and hid in some hold in the wall.
I peeked out from my refuge at the ugly fish turd, and nearly vomited at his revolting stench.
Wrinkling my nose and taking out my sword with a *SWOOSH*, I snuck towards him.
Off to fight the blasted demon! @O@!
But then the strangest thing happened.
He did nothing. Not a single thing. It was almost as if..
Yes! he couldn't see me! I was too tiny
He was looking for a big meal, not a small fry.
Ya know, a thanksgiving feast, not a christmas dinner.
A cake, not a carrot, so to speak.
I did a little happy dance right then and there, let me tell you.
And then I got the heck out of there!
It was night by that time of course, hence the zombie, and I breathed in the cool night air.
It chilled my lungs, and left eery goosebumps on my skin, and reminded me that I wasn't alone.
But boy was it beautiful.
Well, until a pair of furry red eyes looked at me and lunged.
NOOOOO I screamed as I flew backwards down the pit I had just climbed.
And then, it was upon me!
Red eyes and legs were everywhere!
Punching me repeatedly and sending me flying.
Taken completely by surprise I grabbed a weapon without thinking
and began beating the spider with my wooden shovel.
:/
Needless to say, I was slain by the beastie...
So apparently, I thought to myself, apparently some creepy crawlies can see me! O.O
I resurfaced nearby my house and sprinted towards the cave, jumping straight down and back into action!
I ran over to that beast and sought my sweet revenge!
I began to bash its face and hit it with the shovel I retrieved and then!
It killed me again!
>:{O
Now I was angry. But I realized I had to be more strategic, that point blank warfare wasn't my strong point against these giants.
By now it was daytime and the spider was passive.
Sneaking by it, still afraid it would recognize me as the ghost of our last brawl, I retrieved my tools and items from my first death.
I decided to adapt an ancient strategy to someone of my size.
Taking out my pickaxe I dug a one block deep hole, a bit too big for me to hit my enemy and a bit too small for my enemy to hit me.
Then I swung out my blade and charged the bloody creature!
It sent me flying and then got stuck on a pillar.
Taking my chance I lunged forward and dived into the pit.
Then it crawled over the pit and stared its big ugly red eyeballs at me, licking its chops venomously.
I gulped.
Then I tried hitting it and realized it was slightly too far away.
I took a deep breathe and jumped and whacked it hard, and it yelped and lunged at me.
My plan took the spider by the eyeballs though, and it was unable to hit me mostly.
Some time later it was I who had slayed the spider, and not the other way around.
I smiled and yawned, itched my way out of the pit and made my way home.
Unfortunately, the spider had not dropped any string ;(
And that was how I started out day 5
Gulliver's Diary Day Five:
When I arrived home I quickly and greedily dashed to my stove, to cook up some nice iron blocks
I then stored my precious iron and some items away into my almost full chest of awesomeness.
When I was done I realized that I was dog-gone starving!
My stomach gurgled and groaned, so I acquiesced and got ready to hunt.
Only, I realized that I couldn't fit all my other items into my chest!
So I quickly crafted a new chest, and then placed it down next to my old one.
Oops. That was a fail.
Turns out I am too weak to open a double chest! X_x
I had to hack down the new chest and place it on the other side of my house:
Needless to say, I got it done, and went out hunting.
Jumping and floating from treetop to treetop I spotted my first prey:
The big ol' birdie beastie: the chicken.
I snuck up behind the hapless creature, and struck it dead thrice!
Err.. Struck it thrice and then it crumbled down to the ground in defeat yielding sweet sweet sustenance!
Aww yeah, take that you chicken! \m/ Hoo-ah! *bro-fist*
My standoff with the fearsome beast:
Sweet sweet victory!
Then I spotted another! This one didn't put up much of a fight, and I slayed it easily.
Then, realizing that it was almost night already, I went seed gather so I could start my wheat farm.
After gathering some seeds I went home and cooked me some chicken.
After eating my chicken I was soo stuffed and I felt oh so drowsy, I went and crawled into my bed and my eyes pulled over and I was suddenly drifting off...
Gullivers Diary Day Six:
I awoke feeling refreshed and alive like never before, oh praise thee oh mighty cooked chicken!, and promptly set about making tools for the day's endeavours:
I took my wooden hoe and made it dirty, collecting blocks of dirt from the nearby lush forest.
I then climbed to the roof of my humble abode and looked outwards for a suitable and arable landmass..
Lo there it was! A body of water just yonder, and close enough to be worthwhile to cultivate!
I laughed at my good fortune and went down to grab my babeh, to go do some farming.
(It's just a hoe)
I destroyed the land in the way like so many capitalists before me, and then planted my dirt and my seeds of glory.
Mwuhahaha!, I laughed.
Grow my seeds and replenish my hunger!
I shook my head, amused and embarrassed by my own silliness, and headed home.
As I flew home I wondered at how much harder it was to make the sod arable using a hoe, as I had encountered resistance, yes the earth fought back!, when I tried to till the earth..
But a few bangs and whacks later and it was conquered, so I thought not much of it after *shrug*
Stretching and yawning, hearing my back make a few cracking sounds, I crawled into bed and pulled the sheets over me, dreaming dreams of diamonds and of obsidian, of lava and boats, and of being bigger than life...
Edit:
I will be uploading and continuing these updates on my blog
I have reached the maximum spoiler limit (I think, I mean I spent like the last hour trying to figure out why my spoilers suddenly stopped working), so yeah..
I'ma link to it here later ;P

No new ones yet tho.
I've got a challenge for all of you. Try to kill the Enderdragon at 8X normal size without using dyes.(Potions are fine just not dyes)
EDIT: Oh wait. You may use dyes ONCE to get into your first nether portal. Once you get into the nether portal you must throw the dyes into the lava or fire.(Bring stuff to make potions of ensmalling-you'll need them to get back)
Challenge accepted
Edit: I... er stepped on a puddle of lava and died...
Anyways... I got a challenge for you guys too!
Beat the enderdragon at 1/8 size!
(note: when at 1/8 size, the enderdragon beats you 1 hit, even with creative-made armor, so... don't bother with armor)
I'm recording a short, possibly one-off LP miniseries of me playing regular survival at 2x size (not entirely following the Gulliver Challenges, just playing as I normally would). I decided on 2x because I've wanted to still use potions to both grow / shrink and after browsing the thread, I think more people actually prefer to play smaller than larger. I'll hopefully have the first video up in less than a week and I'll edit the post then with the link to it.
First impressions, though, after recording a couple of episodes in bulk:
I was having some mixed thoughts as to how difficult it would be, being that A) I was unable to use beds, I realized that I would need to make a larger "house". But, on the easier side, the longer stride and being able to punch blocks easier was probably why I went with playing larger. I would frequently forget that I was 4 blocks tall instead of two, and almost tried to do the dig-into-the-wall-and-sword-an-enderman-in-the-knees trick.
All in all, I think it's a bit easier to play large (which I would define as 1x to 2.4x exclusive) as long as you have space to move around. I like playing at 2x size because I feel a bit constrained within the space but still don't feel like an overpowered giant running around squashing everything upon my path and picking up and throwing creepers around.
It's been fun in a different sort of way, and I've liked it because I have something to actually make slightly-more interesting commentary than I usually make. I also like how it makes me have to think about how big I am compared to regular vanilla, for instance: I was going to start a strip mine and I have a very mathematically-devised strip mine design. I was going to just scale the strip mine's plan up so that it would fit me, but then I remembered that just scaling it would make it less efficient, so I grabbed my graph paper and sketched out a revised plan for a larger player. I also enjoy scaling back down to normal size just to see how big everything is compared to when I was scaled up.
As for possible suggestions for future versions of the mod; I would like to suggest adding a rare armour enchantment that allowed armour to be worn by Giant / Tiny players without it falling off. Have it be something like Resizability I would let the armour be worn at 4x but fall off at 8x, and have Resizability II let it stay on at 8x. And maybe to make it even more difficult to get (because an 8x player with Protection IV armour would probably be completely invincible from what I can predict) by only having Resizability I able to get on an Enchanting Table and it would have to be put on the Armour (no book enchanting). I dunno, this is just a random idea that popped into my head once, and I get a lot of those at random times.
Anyways, amazing mod, UncleMion, keep up the good modding.
what i have done:
A fresh install of 1.4.7 using the new mc launcher(1.3.3)
installed modloader (copying files inside modloader.zip to 1.4.7.jar[Application Data\.minecraft\versions\1.4.7])
installed gulliver mod to 1.4.7.jar
ran the game(successful)
quit
back to [Application Data\.minecraft]
*here comes the problem*
no 'config' folder
EDIT: tried to use creative mode and it doesnt work at all :\ might be a problem with the launcher i guess.. i think i can whip up a 1.4.7 launcher where you still find the old bin folder when installing a fresh 1.4.7 minecraft

The Challenge is also fine in 1.5.2 as well (I just haven't updated the top post of the Challenge thread in a while...)
But it's tricky to install mods to older versions of Minecraft in the new launcher. Gulliver v0.13.8 includes a fix for ModLoader 1.5.2 so it should work okay.
But older versions of ModLoader really need a tweaker to support the new launcher's way of doing things. If you want to use Minecraft 1.4.7, I've hashed out a customized tweaker, if you'd like to give it a try with ModLoader 1.4.7.

Yeah it can be interesting to play at sizes like 0.5 or 2.0. You don't get the special "powers" that come with being tiny/huge, but you do get the size annoyances like hopping up stairs or needing wider tunnels. You could play at your "real size" as well if you like. For example, if you're 5"7' in height, use this command:
/basesize 5ft7in
I've long had plans to allow armor that can only be used in certain size ranges, whether by an Armor item property, enchantments, or both; it's just not a feature I've gotten around to yet. (It'd be fun to have Big/Small enchantments affect tools as well as armor.)
The Challenge is also fine in 1.5.2 as well (I just haven't updated the top post of the Challenge thread in a while...)

I found out a way on how to do it without the tweaker which is i think easier for me... what i've simply done is downloaded a 1.4.7 mc launcher which is the old launcher and it works.. so i downloaded 1.4.7 launcher and have a fresh install of it... then normally installed the mods and it worked I appreciate the reply:)
Time to do the challenge
oh before everything... is it better if i do it on 1.5.2? any difference?

Using the old launcher works too
The 1.5.2 version has bugfixes and a few new useful features for sized players, but nothing that affects the Challenge too much.
Will you add a feature that features shrinking the enderdragon in creative?
My fave is being tiny, right now i'm as tiny as I can be! i'm living in a big jungle biome in a little dirt/leaves cave!
I have seen one ocelot... Lucky it didn't see me! xD

Err.. Struck it thrice and then it crumbled down to the ground in defeat yielding sweet sweet sustenance!
Aww yeah, take that you chicken! \m/ Hoo-ah! *bro-fist*
My standoff with the fearsome beast:
Sweet sweet victory!
Then I spotted another! This one didn't put up much of a fight, and I slayed it easily.
After eating my chicken I was soo stuffed and I felt oh so drowsy, I went and crawled into my bed and my eyes pulled over and I was suddenly drifting off...
Gullivers Diary Day Six:
I awoke feeling refreshed and alive like never before, oh praise thee oh mighty cooked chicken!, and promptly set about making tools for the day's endeavours:
Lo there it was! A body of water just yonder, and close enough to be worthwhile to cultivate!
(It's just a hoe)
I destroyed the land in the way like so many capitalists before me, and then planted my dirt and my seeds of glory.
Mwuhahaha!, I laughed.
Grow my seeds and replenish my hunger!
I shook my head, amused and embarrassed by my own silliness, and headed home.
As I flew home I wondered at how much harder it was to make the sod arable using a hoe, as I had encountered resistance, yes the earth fought back!, when I tried to till the earth..
But a few bangs and whacks later and it was conquered, so I thought not much of it after *shrug*
Stretching and yawning, hearing my back make a few cracking sounds, I crawled into bed and pulled the sheets over me, dreaming dreams of diamonds and of obsidian, of lava and boats, and of being bigger than life...
Edit:
I will be uploading and continuing these updates on my blog
I have reached the maximum spoiler limit (I think, I mean I spent like the last hour trying to figure out why my spoilers suddenly stopped working), so yeah..
I'ma link to it here later ;P

I don't have them all uploaded yet, since they take some tweaking to upload, but I have some up
No new ones yet tho.
after destroying 5 crystals...
the enderdragon killed me with a single stroke of it's wings...
max level protection armor didn't do squat
Challenge accepted
Edit: I... er stepped on a puddle of lava and died...
Anyways... I got a challenge for you guys too!
Beat the enderdragon at 1/8 size!
(note: when at 1/8 size, the enderdragon beats you 1 hit, even with creative-made armor, so... don't bother with armor)
First impressions, though, after recording a couple of episodes in bulk:
I was having some mixed thoughts as to how difficult it would be, being that A) I was unable to use beds, I realized that I would need to make a larger "house". But, on the easier side, the longer stride and being able to punch blocks easier was probably why I went with playing larger. I would frequently forget that I was 4 blocks tall instead of two, and almost tried to do the dig-into-the-wall-and-sword-an-enderman-in-the-knees trick.
All in all, I think it's a bit easier to play large (which I would define as 1x to 2.4x exclusive) as long as you have space to move around. I like playing at 2x size because I feel a bit constrained within the space but still don't feel like an overpowered giant running around squashing everything upon my path and picking up and throwing creepers around.
It's been fun in a different sort of way, and I've liked it because I have something to actually make slightly-more interesting commentary than I usually make. I also like how it makes me have to think about how big I am compared to regular vanilla, for instance: I was going to start a strip mine and I have a very mathematically-devised strip mine design. I was going to just scale the strip mine's plan up so that it would fit me, but then I remembered that just scaling it would make it less efficient, so I grabbed my graph paper and sketched out a revised plan for a larger player. I also enjoy scaling back down to normal size just to see how big everything is compared to when I was scaled up.
As for possible suggestions for future versions of the mod; I would like to suggest adding a rare armour enchantment that allowed armour to be worn by Giant / Tiny players without it falling off. Have it be something like Resizability I would let the armour be worn at 4x but fall off at 8x, and have Resizability II let it stay on at 8x. And maybe to make it even more difficult to get (because an 8x player with Protection IV armour would probably be completely invincible from what I can predict) by only having Resizability I able to get on an Enchanting Table and it would have to be put on the Armour (no book enchanting). I dunno, this is just a random idea that popped into my head once, and I get a lot of those at random times.
Anyways, amazing mod, UncleMion, keep up the good modding.
what i have done:
A fresh install of 1.4.7 using the new mc launcher(1.3.3)
installed modloader (copying files inside modloader.zip to 1.4.7.jar[Application Data\.minecraft\versions\1.4.7])
installed gulliver mod to 1.4.7.jar
ran the game(successful)
quit
back to [Application Data\.minecraft]
*here comes the problem*
no 'config' folder
EDIT: tried to use creative mode and it doesnt work at all :\ might be a problem with the launcher i guess.. i think i can whip up a 1.4.7 launcher where you still find the old bin folder when installing a fresh 1.4.7 minecraft
The Challenge is also fine in 1.5.2 as well (I just haven't updated the top post of the Challenge thread in a while...)
But it's tricky to install mods to older versions of Minecraft in the new launcher. Gulliver v0.13.8 includes a fix for ModLoader 1.5.2 so it should work okay.
But older versions of ModLoader really need a tweaker to support the new launcher's way of doing things. If you want to use Minecraft 1.4.7, I've hashed out a customized tweaker, if you'd like to give it a try with ModLoader 1.4.7.
Yeah it can be interesting to play at sizes like 0.5 or 2.0. You don't get the special "powers" that come with being tiny/huge, but you do get the size annoyances like hopping up stairs or needing wider tunnels. You could play at your "real size" as well if you like. For example, if you're 5"7' in height, use this command:
I've long had plans to allow armor that can only be used in certain size ranges, whether by an Armor item property, enchantments, or both; it's just not a feature I've gotten around to yet. (It'd be fun to have Big/Small enchantments affect tools as well as armor.)
I found out a way on how to do it without the tweaker which is i think easier for me... what i've simply done is downloaded a 1.4.7 mc launcher which is the old launcher and it works.. so i downloaded 1.4.7 launcher and have a fresh install of it... then normally installed the mods and it worked I appreciate the reply:)
Time to do the challenge
oh before everything... is it better if i do it on 1.5.2? any difference?
Using the old launcher works too
The 1.5.2 version has bugfixes and a few new useful features for sized players, but nothing that affects the Challenge too much.
Climbed a lot of trees(I find it's much easier to chop them down when I climb them first)
Tamed a wolf(then ended up killing it because it was a bother...... maybe I'll get a new once since I have dyes now)
Bred chickens
Got to normal size(and beyond) using dyes
I think now that I can freely change my size, things will be much easier than before. Time to get busy!
- Tame a Wolf
-Tame a Ocelot
-Make full gold armor
And last...
-Kill more than 10 mobs
recently rediscovered this account and the memories have been flowing back, let me tell you. it's INSANE.
