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.”

As far as I can tell from my testing, My giants don't spawn within a Would Guard region that has the mob-spawning flag set to deny.

Posted Nov 28, 2014fun plugin, used it to add additional excitement to the server.
deny-spawn: [SKELETON, SPIDER, ENDERMAN, GIANT, CREEPER, IRON_GOLEM, ZOMBIE]
Plugin ignores WG flags, spawns giants in spawn, warzone, inside walls of spawn.
Recommend hooking into factions or world guard to prevent spawning in unwanted places

The latest bleeding edge build supports custom item lore and item drops. Please make sure to reset your config files, as is needed on all major updates.

The lightning attack is triggered right when the giant targets the player. It should only do the attack once per kill, unless the player is out of the giants range, causing it to lose interest and then target the player again, firing the lightning attack again.
It would be simple enough to add a configuration option for this.

ok thanks for the reply.
Players have said that the lighting attack gets activated very often, is there a way to control the rate of attack from the giants.
Also, i had one player mention that their Bow broke when hit my the lighting, not even sure it might be related to Giants, but thought i'd mention it nonetheless.

Sorry for a slow response. Currently, each has a chance to drop, depending on the rarety you have set.

I reset the config file as suggested everything seems to be working good. Haven't seen an error yet.
For now, i just have giants spawning rarely with rare diamond drops. Waiting on the newer drop system to add custom drops.
Question: if i have multiple drops setup, do they each have that set chance to drop, or will only one drop from the list per kill?

Not currently. Testing a build that supports it now. If it works I will upload it.

The solution is to backup your config files, delete giant.yml, slime.yml, and magmacube.yml. Once deleted restart the server and add your settings back into the files you deleted.

Bleeding edge builds represent the newest updates and basic features work. Stable builds are considered to be ready to be released to bukkit dev. The choice of which to use is yours and I can't decide that for you.

This project has not been abandoned, there are several recent code updates, as well as new Dev builds. I have not been releasing to bukkit simply because i believe bukkit is mostly dead. Once i see some more life in the bukkit project, i will update this page.
As for giants spawn rates acting odly, i do not know what you mean, could you elaborate?
Thanks, Mammothskier
