Shrinking Plates
- By
A plate one pixel tall that holds a whole build - shrink onto it, and what you make is visible to everyone in the world.
A plate one pixel tall that holds a whole build. Right-click the top and you shrink onto it - and what you make up there is visible to everyone, sitting on the plate, in the world.
There is no pocket dimension. You are not teleported anywhere. You stay where the plate is: the world towers around you, and anyone walking past sees you standing tiny on it.
Standing on one
A size-N plate gives you an N by N by N space in the single block above it. Right-click to place, left-click to break, hold to repeat - and you walk and jump on what you build, with real collision. Invisible walls keep you on the plate.
To leave, right-click the glowing core in the middle with an empty hand. Holding a block builds instead, so you cannot leave by accident.
Break the plate and the build comes with it inside the item, the way a shulker box keeps its contents. Place it somewhere else and everything is still there.
The Shrinker
Twelve Shrinker Casing blocks in a 2 wide by 2 deep by 3 tall box, clicked with the Calibration Wrench. It folds into a machine with three stations:
- Container on the left - Dimensional Fabric, one per block of plate, plus the block you want the floor made of.
- Slider in the middle - look at it and scroll to pick the size. The button below starts it.
- Pedestal on the right - load a Shrinking Core, then take the finished plate off it.
