Overview

Crimson Maw Giant adds a six-block-tall undead monster with crimson eyes and a tooth-filled mouth. It stalks players, hides while watched, and can grab a player with a melee attack.

The mod also adds a powerful sword named Crimson Maw Giant, themed after the creature.

What It Adds

How To Use

Finding the Giant

The giant naturally spawns:

• Singly in monster-tagged biomes
• On the surface or underground
• At brightness levels 0–7
• On Easy, Normal, or Hard difficulty

It does not naturally spawn on Peaceful difficulty. Like other undead creatures, it burns in daylight.

Summoning the Giant

With cheats enabled, use:

/summon com_crimson_maw_giant_kcx6dfcy:crimson_maw_giant

You can also use the Crimson Maw Giant Spawn Egg from Creative mode.

Using the Sword

The sword can be held and used like a normal sword.

• Use the sword: Grants the wielder Night Vision for 5 seconds.
• Hit an entity: Inflicts Darkness, Slowness, and Weakness on the target.
• Hit an entity: Grants the wielder Strength for 2 seconds.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the sword at a crafting table using redstone, diamonds, rotten flesh, and a stick.

The recipe produces one Crimson Maw Giant sword. It has:

• 14 attack damage
• 666 durability
• Maximum stack size of 1
• Sword enchantment compatibility
• Epic rarity

Abilities And Mechanics

The Watcher Effect

When the giant is within 24 blocks and you look toward it, it becomes invisible. When you look away, it becomes visible again and can trigger its reveal effect.

During its first reveal for a player, the giant may move into the player’s blind spot if it is more than five blocks away. The reveal applies:

• Darkness for about 1.75 seconds
• Slowness III for about 1.75 seconds
• A low-pitched zombie sound

The reveal happens once per giant for each player.

Crushing Melee Attack

A melee hit deals 12 damage—six hearts before armor or other protection. A successful hit on a player also briefly grabs them:

• The player is mounted at the giant’s chest.
• Movement is almost completely halted.
• Weakness is applied.
• The player is released after roughly 1.75 seconds.

Keep your distance and avoid fighting the giant in cramped spaces.

Movement And Environment

The giant:

• Can climb.
• Can move through water.
• Can pick up and equip dropped weapons and armor.
• Targets players, villagers, wandering traders, golems, and some other mobs.
• May break doors when it spawns with that ability.
• Burns in daylight.

If it remains underwater, it begins transforming and eventually becomes an adult Drowned. Leaving the water interrupts the transformation.

Sword Effects

The sword’s effects make it useful for controlling dangerous targets:

Progression And Strategy

• Test the giant in a large open arena so its height and grab attack do not trap you against walls.
• Fight during daylight when possible; the giant burns in sunlight, although it remains dangerous while closing the distance.
• Watch its position carefully. Looking directly at it can make it disappear, so keep escape routes open before turning away.
• Use the Crimson Maw Giant sword to slow targets and weaken them while Strength boosts your follow-up attacks.
• Expect the giant to become more dangerous if it picks up armor or a stronger sword.
• Water can force the giant toward Drowned conversion, but staying nearby during the transformation is still hazardous.

Drops

A defeated giant can drop:

• Up to 2 rotten flesh
• A rare bonus of one iron ingot, carrot, or potato when killed by a player or their pet

The rare bonus is very uncommon. Looting can improve loot rolls slightly. A player who lands the final hit also receives experience, with more experience possible when the giant was carrying equipment.
