About the mod

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.

Giants are undead, can spawn wearing armour and wielding a weapon, drop configurable loot, and make zombie sounds. You can also choose where they spawn and tweak their stats like health, speed, and knockback resistance.
