NOTE: I am fully aware that giants are a mob that were removed from Minecraft and that there are quite a few ideas about putting them back into the game. However I am confident that my idea is original and I am not simply posting "Jeb put them back in the game!!!"
I would like to see giants implimented into the game. I believe it would add more excitement to Vanilla Minecraft.
Giants would have the same AI as zombies with one small change; instead of breaking down doors to get to villagers and players they would attempt to break down the house and crush (walk into) the villagers or player. Giants would ONLY be able to break any kind of wood or glass block. Any kind of stone or brick would be strong enough to resist being crushed. Any blocks broken by the giant zombie would be broken in the same way the Ender Dragon breaks blocks.
Giants would have the same stats as before; except it can be hurt if attacked/stricken anywhere on its visual body (the previous hitbox would be fixed). Wolves would be able to attack giants. And Giants would be able to jump up three blocks maximum instead of one block.
Giants tend to eat people (in theory, not actually in the game). And they eat along with them any accesory or weapon or tool the victim is carrying. So the drops of a giant would be any leather or iron armor piece (never enchanted because the giants stomach fluids ruin the enchantment). The giant would also be able to drop stone tools and swords. Rare drops would be any piece of diamond armor and iron weapons and tools. The giant would also drop seven exp orbs upon death.
Giants are very lonesome creatures so they never spawn in groups. And a giant won't spawn if there is another giant in that area.
Giants will not burn in sunlight but all their stats will be slashed in half (because they are weaker in the sunlight).
Lastly giants will not be able to ride in minecarts.
Okay, my question is: How do they hurt you? They'd need to bend over quite far, or stomp you.
If they bend over, maybe only their heads should be damagable.
I don't know about bending over but I assumed they'd hurt players by "crushing" them (walking into them like a zombie, its just crushing because its legs are three times bigger than the player).
I think diamond pieces would be a bit OP, since it spawns alone, and if the fight is anything like a zombie, it shouldn't be too hard to kill.
Are you saying dropping diamond pieces as a rare drop is overpowered? Or are you saying that I shouldn't imply the giant can kill someone wearing diamond armor?
Idk... maybe. I would like giants to be back in, but it would suck for any player that one spawn by before having at least iron tools, or with a wood house. It shouldn't be able to break wood or glass since it would severely hinder style. Admittedly, the creeper is worse than that, but they're comparatively easy to kill. Why would we want another griefing mob? Aren't enderman and creepers enough?
This would be good for a overworld boss but wood braking not many would like that.
Could you add a walk sound maybe like what you hear in those giant monster movies?

*Giant comes in and crushes the castle
"Nooooo!!!! Why were Giants even install in the first place!? WHY!?"
This is a scenario I would never ever want in my Minecraft Worlds. So no support.
They only crush wood and glass blocks.
They only crush wood and glass blocks.
They don't actually eat anyone in Minecraft, I said that to explain my thinking behind their behavior.

U can put blocks to protect yourself or just shoot from afar.
