Big

Sources	See § Causes
Particle	#91D031 (yellow-green)
Type	Positive[note 1]

Big is a joke effect that increases the size of entities, exclusive to 23w13a_or_b.

It is the counterpart to Small.

Effect

The size of entities (both visual size and its hitbox) are multiplied by level+1. Mob drops are also multiplied: there are (level+1)³ rolls performed on a mob under this effect. This means, for example, that an evoker with Big I always drops 8 totems of undying, calculated from (1+1)³, as there is a 100% chance to drop the totem on each roll. This evoker also drops anywhere from 0 to 8 emeralds, most likely 4, as there is a 50% chance to drop an emerald on each roll.
