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.”

I was thinking about doing that... But it would have to be a different plugin. Is there a name you can think of that could be the name of the plugin?

It is a bukkit problem, however, I have found a work-around.

Posted Mar 20, 2013I changed the Giant's health to 600 HP, yet they're SO easy to kill still. I kill them with my fist and no armor. Is there a way to fix this?
