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.”

WOW! Look at that LOGO! How fab is that?? Lol. nice to see...
YAYYYY!! We got Giants and Magmas and Slimes in our Giantworld and what fun they are now! Can't thank you enough Mammothskier! Loving the extra attacks and giant types! Just to let others know, be careful of doing amazing drops with the magma cubes and slimes; when they split into smaller, the drops multiply accordingly. Don't be setting them with diamond horse armor or anything or you'll ruin your economy lol. The zombies just drop what you set, no more.

Thanks Pippa for the great comment. :) I'm glad you have stuck with this plugin for so long and been enjoying it! Please let me know if you have any issues.
OMY I LOVE YOU!!! I've been limping along with this FAVOURITE plugin all through despite possible lags or errors, refusing to let go of it! This is our favourite plugin and has given our server its identity for a very long time! I came on this page today just to beg for an update, with the promise of doing a cool logo for you for free if you want, to encourage what I have needed so badly. Luckily it's kept working anyway, but now I update with great joy! Can't thank you enough, and if you want a logo, just yell! My website for our Magic Apple server is www.bsbnetwork.com/mahome, and my name there is Pippa. Thank you!!!

@johnbrasil
Sorry for the slow reply. I am quite busy these next few weeks, but spigot should work. Can you reproduce the problem using craftbukkit?
When i use command /giants spawn on Spigot,

Internal error =/
@ok12Boss
You can use /giants spawn
i hope you will add the new command, we can use that to spawn the big mob
Nice one well done! Tip make them tameable that would be awesome!
@Egul1210
It is loading fine for me. If there are any error messages please post it on pastbin so I can find the issue. :)
It isn't loading for me. I'm using 1.7.2 R03..
One of the best plugins back in the days :3 Thanks for keeping this updated
Cool, installed new version and its way better.
If i want to drop Lapis which is 351:4 how can i do that with the config?
Actually magmacubes dont spawn with /giants spawn magma or magmacube
I get a console error for magma. See below.

@Mammothskier
Oooo very nice very nice, I would not have thought about a damage reduction for that.
@deekondvg
I have added suffocation and cacti to the damage settings :)
@deekondvg Will add that to the list of things to do! Thanks
@aalwein
I will be working on changing the drop system in the next few weeks. :)
I've just installed this plugin and it seems great. Two suggestions:
1. Allow us to use ID names in the loot config since ID numbers will go poof soon. 2. Allow us to configure loot to be a "chance" to drop. For example I want to make the giants have a 85% chance to drop a block of iron, 45% chance to drop 2 diamonds, and a 10% chance to drop a diamond block.
Hmmm a major suggestion would be to add a check to prevent spawning giants below the 65 on the Y axis as to prevent cave death/looting from suffocation.
@deekondvg
Hey deekondvg, Thanks for the bug reports. I have fixed most of them already! If you would like you can always join me on irc with the link above. :)
