Idea Giant Zombies

I like it.
However, if it only spawns in zone 4+, the giants will be dealing with space issues (this is a giant in what amounts to be a building).

Maybe spawning in zone 1 only to account for space issues and making them tough enough that anyone with not good enough equipment to go to zone 4+ and survive will want to keep a wide berth from them?

 

They should spawn everywhere in my opinion. They do what the want.

 

Well, true, and it might be difficult to make them spawn only in one or two zones anyways. It's not like zones are coded as biomes.

 

this is true. However, zone 1 would imply the entire map.

 

I know this. Zones function more as biomes than as locations.

However, I chose zone 1 because there is typically wide-open space in zone 1. In other zones there are often buildings that would slow down or even suffocate a giant- and if we give the giant good drops like we plan to, a suffocated giant would leave behind said drops for anyone to pick up.

 

Well this does sound like a fun idea to have ingame, there is a problem I have with it or should I say, a problem Minecraft itself has with it.

Giants usually get stuck in locations because of one or two blocks and this could make them easy to kill. Since their pathfinding is not the best, this could happen could happen many times and make them not really a challenge to fight. Other than that, I'm all out for this idea!

 

That's why they should be banned from cities. Besides, the country side is boring anyways

 

That actually sounds pretty nice. Occasionally encountering a Giant on my stroll to the Nether. Sounds good.

 

Plus they will drop nice loot, that is if you can kill him!
