The Ultimate Hunter vs. Speedrunner Experience for Modern Paper Servers!

Built specifically for Paper 1.21+, Advanced Manhunt takes the classic "Speedrunner vs. Hunter" gamemode to the next level. Completely rebuilt from the ground up using modern Object-Oriented design and the Kyori Adventure API, this plugin guarantees zero lag, beautiful UI elements, and a 100% automated game flow.

Whether you are hosting a massive 10v10 event or a classic 1v1 with your friends, Advanced Manhunt handles everything for you.

✨ Key Features Smart Tracking Compasses: Hunters receive glowing tracking compasses that point to the exact block a Runner is standing on—even caching their exact portal entry locations for inter-dimensional tracking.

Live Distance Action Bar: No more guessing! Hunters see a live, updating action bar telling them exactly who they are tracking and how many meters away they are.

Automated Headstarts: Give Runners a fighting chance. Hunters are completely frozen (and invulnerable) during the configurable head-start timer.

Bedwars-Style Spectating: When a Runner is eliminated, they drop their loot and instantly transition into a Spectator. They are given a custom Spectator Teleporter Compass to easily click and cycle through all remaining alive players!

Team Chat & Visuals: Players are automatically assigned dynamic [R] (Runner) and [H] (Hunter) prefixes in both the Tablist and above their heads. Use /manhunt teamchat to strategize in secret!

Epic Victory Sequences: Defeat the Ender Dragon (or eliminate all Runners) to trigger epic on-screen titles, custom sound effects, and a 5-shot star-shaped firework barrage for the winning team.

Bulletproof Automation: Features auto-forfeit countdowns (if a whole team disconnects), friendly-fire toggles, completely safe WorldEdit/Essentials click-canceling, and full inventory/stat wipes between games.
