BabySkeletons

A lightweight Paper/Purpur plugin that adds small skeleton variants to your Minecraft server.

Features

• Small skeletons spawn at 50% size
• Works with natural skeleton spawns
• Works with skeleton spawn eggs
• Keeps normal skeleton AI and behavior

How It Works

Whenever a skeleton spawns, it has a chance to become a smaller variant. Small skeletons behave exactly like normal skeletons but are harder to hit and create a unique challenge for players.

• Purpur 1.21.x
• Java 21+
• Java 25 supported

Installation

1. Download the plugin.
2. Place the JAR into your server's plugins folder.

Notes

This plugin modifies both naturally spawned skeletons and skeletons created with spawn eggs.
