Type

Positive

Big is a joke effect that makes entities bigger, added in April Fools' snapshot 23w13a_or_b. Entity size (both visual size and its hitbox) is 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.

It is the counterpart to Small.
