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.”

Posted Mar 6, 2016Update to all:
I have started development on a working 1.9 version. Due to changes in craftbukkit, I was forced to update my method of file handling. This is for the better and will allow me to in the future make it so you don't have to constantly regenerate config files. There may be a few instance of where config values don't work. This is a quick fix though and can be done within a few minutes from a mobile device. (Meaning I can do it anywhere)
In other news, I don't have a clue how the combat update will affect the giants until after I get a working test version.

Unfortunately my server is compiled only for this kernel, and I can not because of a plug-in to redo everything :( Can you advise older version of the plugin, which is expected to be run without errors on this core?

Hi Guys,
I would like to appologize for my absense with this issue. I've been in the process of moving across the country. That error code will get fixed asap. As for the mushroom cow thing, that is actually an intended feature but is easy enough to change or set a config option for it. Same with mobspawners.

Posted Aug 9, 2015Would it be possible to block giants spawning from mob spawners? I use silkspawners and sometimes giants spawn from the spawner when players are at a mob grinder or similar. If its not possible to implement into the plugin how would i go about canceling those giant spawns from a spawner?

The code is there, the documentation isn't. When I get home I'll figure out the config line for an enchanted diamomd sword. What enchantments did you have in mind?

Posted Jul 28, 2015Cool plugin. But is there a way for the giants to drop, for ex, enchanted sword? Say i want to have the zombie giant to have a chans on droping a dimond sword with sharpness and unbreaking. Is it possible in the current state?

Thanks! That kick attack its not a problem inside my house... The problem are i received the default damage from inside, (the same damage if i stay on the legs of giant). Now the default attack have the same range of kick attack i think.
