Set Up a Manhunt Game on Your Server

Manhunt is the classic use for this plugin: hunters use compasses to chase one or more runners across the world. Here is how to organize a round.

Prepare Permissions

Set these through whatever permission system your server uses:

• Hunters: give pt.track so their compass opens the tracker menu. Also give pt.compass if they should be able to hand themselves a compass with /ptcompass.
• Runners: do not give runners pt.bypass. That permission prevents a player from being tracked, which would make them impossible to hunt.
• Spectators or staff: give pt.bypass to anyone watching who should never be a valid target. This keeps them out of the hunt.

Start the Round

1. Gather everyone at spawn.

2. Have each hunter run /ptcompass, or hand out compasses yourself if hunters lack pt.compass.

3. Give the runners a head start.

4. Hunters right-click their compass, click a runner in the menu, and follow the needle.

5. With multiple runners, hunters can Shift + Right-click to retarget whenever they like.

Fair-Play Tips

• Agree before starting whether runners may also carry tracking compasses.
• Test the setup with a quick dry run so everyone knows the controls.
• If you plan to travel between dimensions, try the compasses there during your test so nobody is surprised mid-game.
• Remind hunters that they must keep checking the compass, because the needle follows the runner as they move.
