# ManHunt<\/p>\n
**Turn Minecraft Manhunt into a fully automated server minigame.**<\/p>\n
ManHunt brings the classic **Speedrunner vs. Hunter** experience to modern Paper servers with matchmaking, arena worlds, safe spawning, parties, airdrops, animated scoreboards, and automatic cleanup.<\/p>\n
No manual setup. No messy resets. No staff babysitting every round. Players queue, spawn, hunt, survive, and jump straight into the next match.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Overview<\/p>\n
ManHunt is built for server owners who want a polished Manhunt experience that feels ready to play from the moment players join.<\/p>\n
Instead of manually creating worlds, teleporting players, assigning teams, giving tracking items, and resetting arenas, ManHunt handles the full match lifecycle automatically.<\/p>\n
Players can join your server, open the ManHunt menu, queue for a game, and start playing with almost no staff involvement.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### Queue<\/p>\n
Players receive a custom **Create ManHunt** item when they join the server. This opens a modern menu where they can create or join games.<\/p>\n
ManHunt supports:<\/p>\n
– Public solo queue
\n– Party-based games
\n– Clean lobby flow
\n– MiniMessage styling
\n– Custom player heads
\n– Simple player onboarding<\/p>\n
This makes ManHunt easy to use for both private friend groups and public servers.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### Arenas<\/p>\n
ManHunt integrates with **My_Worlds** to manage arena worlds automatically.<\/p>\n
The plugin can:<\/p>\n
– Generate arena worlds
\n– Load game worlds
\n– Prepare fresh arenas
\n– Clean up old match worlds
\n– Delete unused worlds after games<\/p>\n
This keeps your server clean and prevents old Manhunt worlds from filling up storage.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### Spawns<\/p>\n
ManHunt uses an intelligent spawning system designed to avoid unfair or broken starts.<\/p>\n
The plugin searches for safe ground before placing players into the arena, helping prevent spawns in oceans, lava, trees, caves, or suffocation spots.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### Start<\/p>\n
Every match begins with a dramatic Hunter setup.<\/p>\n
The Speedrunner spawns safely in the arena while Hunters are placed in a calculated circle around them. Hunters are frozen in place until the Speedrunner punches one of them to begin the hunt.<\/p>\n
This creates a fair, cinematic, and exciting start to every game.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### Events<\/p>\n
ManHunt keeps matches intense with automatic mid-game events.<\/p>\n
**Airdrops** bring supply crates into the match, marked by visual lightning, sounds, and holograms.<\/p>\n
**Catch-up boosts** help Hunters stay dangerous if they fall too far behind.<\/p>\n
**Reveal fireworks** prevent endless hiding by periodically exposing the Speedrunner\u2019s position.<\/p>\n
These systems keep games moving and make every round feel unpredictable.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### Interface<\/p>\n
ManHunt includes a clean animated scoreboard that changes depending on the game state.<\/p>\n
In the lobby, players can see useful information such as:<\/p>\n
– Online players
\n– Ping
\n– Server TPS
\n– Queue status<\/p>\n
During matches, the scoreboard switches to game information such as:<\/p>\n
– Alive Hunters
\n– Alive Speedrunners
\n– Ping
\n– Server TPS
\n– Match state<\/p>\n
The interface is designed to look modern without cluttering the screen.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### Deaths<\/p>\n
ManHunt replaces standard vanilla death messages during matches with configurable custom messages.<\/p>\n
When a Speedrunner kills a Hunter, the server can broadcast funny modern roast messages that make the moment feel more memorable.<\/p>\n
This gives every match more personality and makes big plays stand out in chat.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Benefits<\/p>\n
ManHunt saves server owners time and gives players a smoother experience.<\/p>\n
Without ManHunt, hosting Manhunt usually means manually preparing worlds, assigning roles, teleporting players, giving items, resetting arenas, and cleaning files after every game.<\/p>\n
ManHunt automates that entire process.<\/p>\n
It is made for servers that want a plug-and-play Manhunt minigame with a premium feel, strong replay value, and enough polish to keep players coming back for one more round.<\/p>\n
