    Hi there

    So I have been playing minecraft for a very long time! And I just remember that you can still get Giants in the game.

    Wouldn’t it be a cool little feature if donor would be able to /spawnmob Giant.

    I love Giants in minecraft they would be such a unique thing to have enabled in the game.

    It would be a really simple thing to do for the devs. Simply enable it.

    Tell me what u think?

    Exactly. It would just be for the unique factor... Just image going to someones island and seeing a giant walking about... that would be awesome :D

    To make it more balanced, there could be a limit to only have one giant on your island at a time or maybe like a one week cooldown for the command.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a cool Giant in the server but thinking about it, what value would it bring besides looking cool? and also if we permit this will it lag the server in anyway?

    Neutral Yes it would be cool but it is unnecessary and can cause lag as well as further problems

    Neutral, might be too op?

    Also, I don't know if these suggestions are allowed. Sounds like a donor perk to me.

    Neutral. From what I remember of giants used in skyblock, they were mostly for cosmetic purposes, providing an interesting spawner to look at due to the size of the mob whilst spinning. I don't really see a point of adding them when they don't drop anything and are basically the same as zombies.

    It just seems a little wasteful of server resource.

    I don't really find this necessary at all unless they are for decoration,

    What's the point of giants? Unless you're going to make a minigame with it, its pretty much useless

    Giants as decoration for big shops / islands would look amazing!

    The whole point of adding giants is not to add a function to the game but simply for aesthetics. At the end of the day the skyblock is all bout building an island, surviving in ways that you can show off...
    They wouldn’t be “useless” if they add creative detail to builds. Some imagination would be nice. :p

    Plus they are already in the game and the commands are already there in essentials. It would be a really simple job to enable them.

    how would it be OP? They don't drop anything.
    Why would it lag the server? its just another mob, and size really doesn't matter when calculating lag.
    I'm a bit confused. I think that the idea was for a /spawnmob, not spawner. I understand your position on a spawner for giants though, as that would waste resources, and multiple giants on an island wouldnt be very useful and might use server resources.

    You are right. I mean, I know a few skytitans (including me) who would be willing to spawn some giants for Skygod-, thus not making it skytitan only.

    Changing to support :) Still don't think these suggestions are allowed, but it would be nice.

    Support. 1 per island sounds fair but i think /spawner giant would be funny to look at as well, plus it would just be cool all around.
