Rather than eyeballing heights, which we have noticed many people do, keeping to an actual system can help further immerse roleplay, seeing as many players have the mod already installed!
Figuring out the percentages for MPM and how they correlate to real life height has left many confused. Many people tend to "guess" the settings and roll with it, but often times this leads to conflicts over heights. However, fear not, for there is indeed an easy way to calculate your character's height with RATIOS!
To aid in these simple conversions, you can use this online calculator:
Setting Up the Calculator
Step 1: Set field "A" to 100, which represents the default percentage that MPM sets the basic Steve model at.
Step 2: Set field "B" to 72. This number represents the default height of Steve, which is said to be roughly at 72 inches, or, 6 ft.
Step 3: Leave field "C" blank for now! This will be the result after entering your character's height in field "D". As for setting up field "D", place in your character's height in inches here. For example, say Alice stands at 5'4", which would be 64 inches. Put "64" in "D".
(( You can easily convert from feet to inches by multiplying the number of feet by 12 and then adding the inches. For example, 5' x 12 = 60 + 4" = 64" ))
Step 4: Click on "Calculate" and see your appropriate ratio! This will likely be a repeating decimal, so simply round to the nearest whole number. "64" will be represented as 88.888888888889, or 89.
Step 5: For our MPM percentages, we will set the sliders to 89% and adjust the width and depth accordingly to our character's build and stature! The height, however, we will keep at a consistent 89%! Save your settings and you're all done!
(if you can mix it around to make your torso stocky and your legs long, go for it; it's much easier to eyeball with the reference made from the ratio calculator!)
That's all to it!
In conclusion, hopefully these ratios with MPM can greater influence the visual representation of our Minecraft characters. Dwarves can be properly stocky and orcs can stand brutishly tall! Have fun with your conversions!
The shortest height with these ratios is 3 ft, with the tallest being 9 ft. All races are usually within this range.
