Manhunt Mod Wiki & Guide

Use `/function manhunt:start_game` to initialize a manhunt. Before starting, assign players to teams using `/team join hunters player_name` for hunters and `/team join runners player_name` for speedrunners. The runners will receive a head start (default 45 seconds) before hunters can begin tracking.

Hunters receive a compass that automatically points toward the speedrunner's current location. The compass updates in real-time, but only functions within the configured minimum tracking distance—if the runner is too close, the compass won't work to prevent it from being overpowered early game.

Use `/scoreboard players set Temp manhunt_lead [seconds]` to adjust the delay before hunters can begin. The default is 45 seconds; set it lower for harder hunts or higher to give runners more preparation time.

Minimum tracking distance prevents the compass from working when the runner is closer than the set range, creating a skill-based endgame where hunters must use strategy rather than pure tracking. Adjust it with `/scoreboard players set Temp manhunt_min_dst [value]`, where the value is the distance in blocks multiplied by 20.
