[MC-48071] Unsupported mobs don't behave as expected

Moderator Note

Giants, Zombie Horses, Killer Bunnies and Illusioners are currently unsupported mobs that are not fully implemented. They were created as a test-base for proof of concept on alternate styles of mobs.

Functionality of those mobs at this time may be limited compared to other mobs due to this.

I know that Giants are unsupported/unused mobs, but in 14w06b, they no longer move, which is annoying. They seem to be blocked. In previous versions, they moved "normally".

Even if they are unused, Giants are not completely abandoned since they can wear an equipment to their size as of 14w06a, for example: http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/1x4dw5/giants_wearing_armor_is_nothing_try_slimes/cf8b45n?context=3

Why is it invalid, beyond the fact that Giants are unsupported?

Itouch2 2014-02-09T17:00:15Z

Please reopen my report.

Itouch2 2014-02-14T14:41:44Z

Although the report has been marked as invalid, the issue still affects the latest version.

galaxy_2alex 2014-02-14T14:43:19Z

It's Invalid because Giants are not supported if they have any bugs (confirmed by one of the developers some time ago)

Itouch2 2014-02-14T14:57:20Z

However Grum has recently made the armor to their size, so i don't understand. But thank you for the clarification.

No, he fixed armor on all mobs (and then blocked it on the ones that didn't look correct.)

alexzombie04 2014-07-05T23:40:35Z

Giants are finish mobs, just that there unused, there were added in the classic times

alexzombie04 2014-07-06T15:33:26Z

I summon giants with armor ezekial

galaxy_2alex 2014-07-06T16:27:17Z

Giants are unsupported, we have the official confirmation fro the Developers.

user-f2760 2014-07-06T18:49:25Z

indeed unsupported, they were never finished, and the armor was a bug that it would render on all mobs, but it got fixed for the ones that don't look correct

alexzombie04 2014-08-17T16:53:13Z

giants were not test :/

alexzombie04 2014-08-17T16:53:35Z

humans and rana were test

alexzombie04 2014-08-17T16:55:51Z

user-f2760 2014-08-17T16:58:20Z

it got mentioned thetre that it was of the wrong duplicate, however, Giants were a test mob, humans and rana were as well, however Giants are just kept in the game but remaint unused and thus remained in there test fase

marcono1234 2015-07-30T13:01:13Z

Confirmed for:

15w31a Giants only render Armor, but not for example skulls. I don't quite understand why because it should be just the same like it is for Zombies except with a larger scale, or am I wrong here?

user-f2760 2015-07-30T13:01:57Z

this is invalid, no need to comment

Bentroen 2015-08-19T22:46:04Z

@unknown, you're not totally right. If something is in the game, it should be properly supported and not contain any bugs. Since giants are in the game somehow, test or not, they should have proper support, or otherwise, completely removed. But "half-support" can't exist. It should either be supported or not be in the game. So, since Mojang hasn't stated anything about the model disappearing, this can, in fact, be considered a bug.

[Mod] Neko 2015-08-19T22:49:51Z

FVbico, please look at Bentroen's comment. You're basically saying it's fine to leave bugs in the game and just call it "unsupported".

user-f2760 2015-08-19T23:56:58Z

look at the moderator note above...

paulo khayat 2015-11-26T15:54:47Z

they said that skeletons are unsupported and they recently added them in, maybe zombie horse and giants will be too. I HAVEN'T LOST FAITH YET!

user-f2760 2015-11-26T16:13:00Z

requesting that the moderator note get's changed, skeleton horses are now supported (not sure about the zombie variant) but gianta and killer bunnies aren't supported

BrewmasterLo (I'm nicer now) 2020-10-02T16:26:53Z

illusioners should be supported if their planning to add them

anthony cicinelli 2020-10-02T16:28:32Z

Until they are officially added in game they will not be supported @unknown
