Giants
Giants That Spawn Naturally
This plugin takes direct inspiration from FatMarleys' plugin FatGiants, which in turn was inspired by NaturalGiants. This plugin also takes inspiration from NodinChan's MobJockeys.
This plugin was originally written by rmh4209, continued on by pkt77, and is now in the hands of Mammothskier.
Features
The Giants Plugin can naturally spawn Giants that have 8 Configurable attack mechanisms Configurable Health, Experience, Drops, and Spawn in configurable Worlds and Biomes. “The worst thing you can say about homework is that it is too hard. The worst thing you can say about a game is it's too easy.”

@pkt77
sweet! wait - is fireball already included? I see it in description above, but not in config?
this plugin is awesome and im using it on my new rpg style sever the giants are rare spawns that drop a large amount of emeralds... 2-3 player must fight to take them down with the set up i have it is great for inspiring teamwork
opening soon 173.169.255.221:25563 woefulcraft a factions/pvp/raiding now with spells/skils! classes! bosses/dungeons and coming soon, questing!
god.. I am so tempted to add this xD I think people would love just randomly finding a giant
New Recommended Build v4.0 Uploaded! :D
@ronfkingswanson made them a bit more dangerous ;D I am looking into the aggro range, as I am also looking into the fireballs being "Thrown", I will call it the "Throw Boulder Attack"
@Slash0220 Lightning Attack added! The giants are already an insta-kill, so I can't make them hit any harder, but I am improving the attack mechanisms...
our players love seeing the giant zombies, but find they're not that dangerous. The aggro range for giants need to be increased - you have to get right up on them to trigger them, so people just shoot arrows from afar (since the giants often have trouble getting stuck).
What would be super kickass: if the fire attack was actually fireballs (like ghasts), rather than just spontaneous combustion...
Hello!
Please add option that Giant also hit with lighting! Because it`s easy to kill Giant - just make a water block and stay there...
And also please add option, that giant hit harder...
Thx, great plugin,great job!
It says that giants is outdated for me. Why? Im using the 3,0 and im using bukkit for 1.4.6
Seems to require spout. But also askes if it is up to date.
Yep, it's "other" not "others" ;)
But no giants at this world. Would be nice, if you coult test the Giants with this Worldgenerator.
If debug is on and I'm in world "winter", it shows me the spawning of the giants in my mainworld. Debug should show the worldname.
@Jobsti2
thats what 'Other' does...
Heyho, actual dev. works fine.
But, there are no Giants at my world "winter" from plugin "hothgenerator".
Tested with "Others:true" Spawn Worlds: - winter - mainword" and "Spawn Chance: 100" So something must wrong with biome "others", I think you should add "ocean" and "FrozenOcean".
Just updated the Java version. Still broke: Bukkit 1.4.6 Beta 1, Giants v3.0, Java 7: Update 10. Any new ideas?
UPDATE: Giants v3.4 appears to function as intended. Nice work.
Yes 3.4 Seems to be working :)
btw, does SpawnChance 0.1 work ? (I think I remember seeing a update enabling it)
3.4 Seems to be working just fine. :D
What will the eggs for the giants look like? I'd love to see a picture.
Thanks for your fast support ;-)
@Jobsti2
I need to learn to test the plugin more before posting a Recommended Build xD
I will upload another dev build to fix this.
With 3.0 and 3.2. Massive Errors to server Restart:
http://pastebin.com/i2Z0sg0H CB #2569
No Spoutplugin running.
@Patrick_Janson
Can you paste the errors you are getting? :P
No spout here so downloaded the Dev...
LOTS of errors spamming the console. Any one else have this?
