Manhunt Minigame

Manhunt Mini


Manhunt Mini is a custom Minecraft Manhunt minigame where
Hunters must stop the
Runner(s) from completing their objective. The plugin adds custom abilities, tracking, airdrops, respawn mechanics, world-border gameplay, multiple stages, and much more to create a faster and more structured Manhunt experience.

Requirements
Required dependency:

• Velaboard - Minecraft Plugin — Minecraft Scoreboard API

VelaBoard is used by Manhunt Mini for its scoreboard and team-related functionality.

• Hunter vs Runner gameplay
• Runner Head Start
• Multiple Runners support
• Hunter Tracking Compass
• Tracking across the Overworld, Nether, and End
• Hunter Respawn System with configurable respawn time
• Custom Abilities
• Avatar / Playstyle System
• Airdrops with useful loot
• World Border limited
• Village Stage
• Stronghold Stage
• Automatic Match Progression
• Overworld, Nether & End support
• Spectator Support
• Custom Scoreboard
• Custom Team System
• Team-based gameplay
• Configurable gameplay settings
• Player reset on match start
• Automatic match setup
• Custom combat mechanics
• Win / Loss handling
• And many more!

Avatars
Players can choose different playstyles through Avatars.

Current Avatars include:

• Default
• Assassin
• Swordsman

Each Avatar can provide a different gameplay experience.

Hunter Tracking
Hunters receive a special tracking compass that allows them to locate the Runner.

The tracker supports:

• Tracking Runners
• Switching between multiple Runner targets
• Updating Runner locations
• Tracking across dimensions

This keeps the chase going even when the Runner travels far away or enters another dimension.

Airdrops
Airdrops periodically appear during a match and contain useful resources.

Airdrops can create additional points of conflict, as both Hunters and Runners may want to reach the loot.
Game Stages
Manhunt Mini divides the match into different stages to make the game more structured.
Hunter Respawn System
Hunters don't immediately return to the game after dying.

After a Hunter dies, they must wait for their configurable respawn timer before returning to the match.

This gives the Runner a short window to escape and makes Hunter deaths more meaningful.

World Border
The match uses limited world-border to keep the gameplay focused and prevent players from travelling indefinitely.

The border can be used to create a more intense late-game experience.

About
Manhunt Mini is my custom take on the classic Minecraft Manhunt concept.

The goal is to make Manhunt more structured, competitive, and action-focused by combining the original Hunter vs Runner gameplay with custom abilities, tracking, airdrops, respawn mechanics, world-border mechanics, and multiple game stages.

The plugin is designed around shorter and more intense matches while still keeping the core Manhunt experience.
