You might search minecraft wiki for 'giant'... http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Giant
They are removed/unobtainable.

Also, if you need to use other software than minecraft itself for getting some feature, it is obviously not supported officially.

If the above is not mistaken, there are two reasons to resolve this as 'invalid'.

This site is for bug reports only. Feature and improvement suggestions are not currently being tracked here. (Thanks, Markku)

It may not be accessible, but would bugs with locked chests or giants still be bugs? I think it can ocour in vanilla without any mods active, even if you need custom map downloads to access it, it is a bug. Giants can still be found in game in a way, their source code still exists, and if you have a map with a entityGiant, then it will exist.

Giant is accessible by editing. (Zombie changed with nbt editor to Giant)

Giants do not exist in minecraft anymore. They were intentionally removed and therefore this is not a bug.

I have a scematic on the wiki: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/File:Giant_scematic.zip
This can be imported with mcedit if you want to derp about with giants. I think this should solve the problem of needing a giant.

Yes, but it's better with spawner :'(

If @William Pearson is right, than mob spawners shouldn't spawn them, because mob spawners respect light levels. So Resolution should be changed to "Works As Intended"

pokechu22 2013-03-16T23:35:47Z

Almost. I think that the resolution should be wont fix, since the exact way that the spawner tries to spawn is a bug. Oh, and I have included 2 schematics that actually can spawn giants. They work by spawning a mounted zombie, and it checks the light level. With the first, it will drop a zombie when the giant is killed, and with the second, the zombie has 0 health and despawns instantly. (Either when the giant dies or when it spawns, im not sure.) These spawners should be satisfactory, I hope.

I know how you can make one spawn in 1.5 if you want to! Make it ride a mob, the bottom mob can spawn with the giant on top, so make the giant spawn on a firework or something like that! The firework will explode and the giant falls down!
