J Manhunt Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start a manhunt match?
Use the command to initiate a match, then assign players as either speedrunners or hunters. The plugin will handle compass distribution, world preparation, and match tracking automatically once both teams are ready.
Can hunters track runners into the Nether and End?
Yes, the hunter compass tracks across all dimensions by default. Runners cannot hide in alternate dimensions—hunters will always know which dimension their targets are in and can follow them.
How often does the hunter compass update?
The compass refresh rate is adjustable in the plugin settings. Hunters can also right-click their compass to force an immediate update if the default interval feels too slow.
What happens to the world after a match ends?
The World Reset Engine automatically cleans up the match arena using a grid-based system and resets the End dimension, so your next match starts fresh without manual intervention.
Can I make matches harder with custom rules?
Yes, enable challenge modifiers like one-heart health, no jumping, or lucky blocks before the match starts. You can toggle any combination of built-in rules to create your own difficulty preset.
Where can I see player stats and win records?
Use the stats command to view career records, match history, and win streaks for any player. The plugin tracks all performance data automatically throughout the season.
Do I need a separate world for manhunt matches?
No, the grid-based single-world system lets you run matches in your existing world without needing a dedicated arena server. The reset engine isolates match areas automatically.
Can I customize how fast the compass updates?
Yes, the hunter compass refresh rate is fully adjustable in the plugin configuration. Lower intervals give hunters more frequent updates but may impact performance on larger servers.
What if a runner dies before defeating the dragon?
The match ends when either the dragon is defeated by a speedrunner or all speedrunners are eliminated by hunters. Your plugin settings determine whether runners respawn or if elimination is permanent.
Does the plugin work with other server plugins?
The plugin is designed to integrate with standard Minecraft server setups, but compatibility depends on how other plugins modify world behavior or player mechanics. Test challenge modifiers and world resets with your full plugin list to ensure smooth operation.
