Ice Giant

Ice Giants are hostile melee mobs that spawn naturally in the Overworld.

Spawning
Ice Giants spawn naturally in most snowy-type biomes in the Overworld.

Like most other mobs; their spawning can be prevented by placing torches or other lighting blocks nearby to raise the light level above 7.

Behavior
Ice Giants are melee mobs that will follow targets both on land and in water. They will initially attempt to avoid getting into the water where possible, but will go in if they find no other path to their target.

They are aggressive, and will attack nearby players within 16 blocks without provocation. If attacked by another entity, they will retaliate and continue targeting that entity.

Staying outside of their targeting range will prevent them from attacking or targeting entities.

When running, Ice Giants do not handle quick turning very well. They require a short distance to slow down, or to take a wide turn. This allows players more easily outmaneuver them.

Unique Abilities
When an Ice Giant successfully attacks an entity, it will deal heavy knockback and apply slowness for 2.5 seconds.

Hunter Mob
Ice Giants are Hunter creatures that can only be damaged if the player is at level 9 or higher. When killed, they will grant 38.6 Hunter xp.

Like all hunter creatures, Ice Giants will not be aggressive towards players that do not have the required Hunter level to attack. If spawned by a spawner block, they will be aggressive as normal.

Experience
Ice Giants drop experience when killed.
