Required Materials

In Minecraft, these are the required materials to use a command block:

1 Command Block

Program the Command Block

First, you need to program the command block to summon a giant with the /summon command. This /summon command will be run each time the command block is activated.

So, stand in front of the command block with your pointer (the plus sign) on the command block and click on the right mouse button.

This will bring up the programming console for the command block.

Now, type your command in the "Console Command" text box.

In this example, we are going to create a giant is holding a golden sword and wearing golden boots, golden leggings, a golden chestplate, and a golden helmet.

/summon giant ~ ~1 ~ {HandItems:[{Count:1,id:golden_sword},{Count:1,id:shield}], ArmorItems:[{Count:1,id:golden_boots},{Count:1,id:golden_leggings},{Count:1,id:golden_chestplate},{Count:1,id:golden_helmet}], HandDropChances:[1.0f,1.0f], ArmorDropChances:[1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f]}

/summon Giant ~ ~1 ~ {HandItems:[{Count:1,id:golden_sword},{Count:1,id:shield}], ArmorItems:[{Count:1,id:golden_boots},{Count:1,id:golden_leggings},{Count:1,id:golden_chestplate},{Count:1,id:golden_helmet}], HandDropChances:[1.0f,1.0f], ArmorDropChances:[1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f]}

/summon Giant ~ ~1 ~ {Equipment:[{id:golden_sword},{Count:1,id:golden_boots},{Count:1,id:golden_leggings},{Count:1,id:golden_chestplate},{Count:1,id:golden_helmet}], DropChances:[1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f]}

You can customize this command and change the weapon and armor for the giant by changing the Minecraft ID for these items.

When you are finished entering the command, click on the Done button.

Activate the Command Block

Now, activate the command block with the redstone device such as a lever, button, or pressure plate. In this example, we are going to use a lever to activate the command block.

When a player pulls the lever, the command block will be activated.

Now you will see a giant summoned that is carrying a golden sword, a shield and wearing a full set of golden armor (golden helmet, golden chestplate, golden leggings and golden boots).

Congratulations, you have learned how to program a command block to summon a giant zombie with golden armor, golden sword and shield.
