Giant Spawn

by Serilum

Giant Spawn lets giants appear among natural zombie spawns, each with a custom AI built on the zombie behavior.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.16.5 – 26.3

What it does

Zombies that appear on the surface can turn into giants at a set chance, 1 in 20 by default, and giants only appear on the surface unless that restriction is switched off. Giants follow a custom AI derived from the zombie AI, and daylight burns them by default.

The mod is configurable through a handful of options: the spawn chance, whether giants burn in daylight, whether they spawn only on the surface, and their movement speed and attack damage relative to a regular zombie. It is a server-side only mod, so players join without installing anything. It needs Collective, and files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 29 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3, under All rights reserved. The mod is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Surface giant spawns

    Zombies that spawn on the surface can become giants at a configurable chance, 0.05 by default.

  2. Custom giant AI

    Giants use an AI adapted from the zombie AI, so their behavior differs from a standard zombie.

  3. Daylight burning

    Giants can be set to burn when daylight shines on them, which is enabled by default.

Questions

Does Giant Spawn need Collective?

Yes. Collective is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Giant Spawn.

Does a player need to install Giant Spawn?

No. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join.

Can giants be made to spawn underground?

Yes. Setting onlySpawnGiantOnSurface to false removes the surface-only restriction.

What the author says

Giant Spawn is a minimalistic configurable mod which allows giants to spawn naturally. Whenever a zombie spawns it has a chance to be a giant, by default 1/20 and only on the surface. The mod also adds a custom AI to the giants based on the zombie AI. You may also be interested in Skeleton Horse Spawn or Zombie Horse…
