Game versions1.17–26.3

This datapack implements a simple manhunt game. It is compatible with realms due to the fact that it is a datapack. But it is also available bundled as a mod.

Installation

If you get a message saying the pack is not supported in lower versions I have marked it as working in, ignore this as it will still work

Datapack installation:

  1. Locate the datapack folder for the specific world
  2. Drag the Manhunt.zip file into the datapack folder
  3. Enable the datapack with /datapack enable "file/Manhunt.zip"

Mod installation:

  1. Follow the instructions on how to install your prefered modloader (be it Forge, Fabric, NeoForge or Quilt)
  2. Drag the downloaded .jar file into (on windows) %appdata%.minecraft\mods
  3. Launch the world and start playing

Playing

Hunters are added with:

/team join hunters player_name

And runners with:

/team join runners player_name

The game is started with:

/function manhunt:start_game

You can pause the game if you want to leave without having to restart and clear your inventory with:

/function manhunt:pause_game

And then resume the game with:

/function manhunt:resume_game

Configuration

The start delay can be changed from the default of 45 to whatever you like with:

/scoreboard players set Temp manhunt_lead 60

The minumum tracking distance (within this distance from the runners the compass goes crazy)
Can be removed (done by default) with:

/scoreboard players reset Temp manhunt_min_dst

And set to your desired distance with:

If you want a distance of 20 you will use the value 20 * 20 = 400

/scoreboard players set Temp manhunt_min_dst 400

The scoreboard can be removed with:

/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar
