Giants are a rare boss mob in the world of Minecraft.
Spawning[]
Item[]
Giants do not spawn naturally and can only be spawned by players using their fused item, which can be crafted with four Rotten Flesh, two blocks of Iron, two blocks of Gold, and one block of Emerald. It takes a total of five minutes for the fusion part to be fused, at the cost of 2000 mana and three Entropy. After which, you'll have your spawn item to spawn a Giant, which has a chance of spawning as a baby, and will spawn with the cape that the player has (if they have a cape equipped)
Behavior[]
Giants attack similarly to how a Zombie will attack; They charge towards the enemy, however due to their large size compared to a Zombie, instead of attacking by pummeling the opponent with their hands, they instead kick the opponent and send them flying. Due to their massive damage output that can one shot every non boss Minecraft mob (with the exception of the Elder Guardian, although it leaves it with only 2 1/2 hearts with one strike), Ghasthers are extremely useful, and unlike most tier 5 mobs, their crafting recipe is rather cheap, as Rotten Flesh and Gold can be obtained from a Zombie Pigman farm, while Iron and Emerald can be gotten from the use of Engender Villagers and an Iron Golem farm.
Giants are Undead mobs, however unlike the normal Zombie, it does not burn in the sunlight. The player is able to mount the Giant, however due to bug with the Hero Giant, it will occasionally get stuck on blocks while mounted, so it is not recommended to use a Hero Giant as a mount. Engender Giants are one of the many mobs that have a unique model, being one of the only mobs to have a male model instead of a female model. If an Engender Giant is made into a Hero Giant via use of The Star of Valor, it will gain a new ability where the Giant will occasionally leap high into the air and create an explosion upon landing that doesn't destroy blocks, it will also occasionally cause this explosion when being mounted by the player.
