How To Summon A Giant Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to summon a giant with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

You can summon a giant whenever you want using a cheat (game command) in Minecraft. This is done using the /summon command.

Let’s explore how to do this.

Requirements

To run game commands in Minecraft, you have to turn cheats on in your world.

Summon Command

Summon Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the syntax to summon a giant using the /summon command is:

/summon giant [pos] [nbt]

In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10, the syntax to summon a giant is:

/summon Giant [x] [y] [z] [dataTag]

Definitions

• pos or x y z is optional. It is the x y z coordinate where the giant should spawn. If no coordinate is specified, the giant will spawn in the current location.
• nbt or dataTag is optional. It is a compound NBT tag (formerly called data tag) that sets a property for the giant such as {NoAI:1}. See NBT tags for giant.
