A giant is an unused over-sized monster mob in Java and Legacy Console editions that resembles a zombie.

Drops

[edit | edit source]

A giant drops 5XP experience points when killed and has a chance of dropping some of its equipment if it has any.

Spawning

[edit | edit source]

No biome includes giants on their spawn lists, so they can never spawn naturally. Giants also have no spawn egg.

Commands

[edit | edit source]

Giants can be spawned using commands such as /summon minecraft:giant.

Behavior

[edit | edit source]

Giants are close to 12 blocks tall, and they use a six-times-enlarged zombie model. Giants are not undead mobs.

Because giants are not actually undead, they do not burn in sunlight and they are damaged by potions of Harming and healed by potions of Healing, are attacked by the wither, immune to Smite, affected by Regeneration and Poison, and do not scare armadillos. Iron golems and snow golems attack giants as they attack other monster mobs. Giants do not convert into drowned when submerged in water; instead, they slowly suffocate and die.

Giants currently have no AI. The consequence of this is that they always face south when summoned, and they always stay that way, never wandering. They cannot turn their head, chase the player, or respond to damage. A giant's viewing direction can be changed only with commands or by shoving it into a minecart that faces a different direction.

Giants can move if ridden by another mob using NBT tags.

History

[edit | edit source]

Java Edition

[edit | edit source]
Java Edition Indev
0.3120100205-1558πŸ‘ Image
Added giants.
Giants act like any normal hostile mob – they walk toward the player until they are touching them. However, the giant is not able to "touch" anything unless standing on top of it, making it hard for them to do combat against opponents.
Java Edition Infdev
20100227-1433πŸ‘ Image
Giants texture are now based on mobs instead of zombies.
20100415The previous change has been reverted.
Java Edition
1.0.0RC1The hurt sounds that giants make have been changed since they were using the same sound that is used when the player is hurt. Any physical damage now plays a "tick" sound, and damage from falling now plays sounds like that sound like bones breaking, as in previous versions, whenever the giant was damaged, they would make a deep "Ooh!" sound.
1.4.212w38aThe hurt sounds for giants have been changed once again as a result of the player hurt sounds changing.
1.7.213w36aGiants can now be spawned without mods by using the new /summon command.
1.814w06aArmor on giants is now rendered. This originated from a bug in 14w05a, which caused all mobs to render worn armor. In repairing this bug, Grum has now allowed giants to render armor.
Giants no longer use any AI.
1.1418w43aπŸ‘ Image
The texture of giants have been changed as a result of the zombie texture change.
18w50aGiants now use zombie AI (For instance, they move and burn in the sunlight) and NBT data.
Giants now have the zombie hurt sound effect.
Giants now move twice as fast as zombies.
Giants now attack and infect villagers.

TU51.001.001.00Patch 1The hurt sounds that giants make have been changed since they were using the same sound that is used when the player is hurt.

Issues

[edit | edit source]

Giants are an unsupported mob and as such issues relating to them may not be fixed.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • Changes made to the zombie model (for example, using a resource pack) change the giant's model as well.
  • Notch removed the giants spawning capabilities because "they are too overpowered". He did not remove them entirely because "they are just too cool to remove".[citation needed]
  • Players are unable to attack a giant's head and torso unless they are positioned near the bottom of the giant. Projectiles such as arrows can hit these areas as normal.
  • Killing a giant cannot give the player the Monster Hunter advancement.
  • In the April Fools' snapshot 24w14potato, giants were overhauled. They have AI and can spawn naturally (during the battle with mega spud boss). If spawned in the Potato dimension, giants have the skin of Mojang Studios developer Jay Wells.
  • If the player uses the command /attribute to set the base scale of a Zombie to 6, It becomes the same size of a Giant.
