๐ฉธ DexHunt โ A Deadly Game of Deception
DexHunt transforms Minecraft multiplayer into a Dexter-inspired PvP investigation game where trust means nothing, and every kill counts.
One player becomes Dexter, the cold-blooded hunter. Others are Potentials, who can turn into Killers after certain conditions are met.
Your goal depends on your role โ but remember: only Dexterโs personal kills truly matter.
๐งฉ Minecraft: 1.21.1 (Forge)

โ๏ธ Core Gameplay
- Dexter โ The vigilante killer hunter. Must eliminate every Killer personally to win.
Uses a Dexter Knife and Syringe for tracking and stunning targets. - Potentials โ Regular players who can become Killers by killing 1 player or 20 mobs.
- Once activated:
- They are tagged as [KILLER] in the TAB list.
- Every Dexter receives a Killer Compass pointing directly at them.
๐งญ Killer Compass System
The compass is a key mechanic in DexHunt and behaves intelligently:
- When a Killer is active, Dexter gains a Killer Compass for that player.
- If a Killer dies by Dexterโs hand, their compass disappears permanently (theyโre put into Spectator mode).
- If a Killer dies from anything else (fall damage, mobs, other players, etc.), the compass:
- Stays in Dexterโs inventory or
- Returns automatically if removed when the Killer isnโt a spectator.
- Dexter keeps all his compasses unless he delivers the kill.
๐ Victory Conditions
- ๐ฉธ Dexter Wins โ only when all Killers are personally killed by Dexter.
No automatic win from natural or indirect deaths. - ๐ช Killers Win โ when they collectively reach a kill goal (default: 200 mob kills).
