1.3.0 – Parties & parallel games, Zone Wars, 25 special modes, 5 new maps, new lobby, rulebook, voice radio

Updating: replace HideAndHunt-1.5.0.jar with HideAndHunt-1.6.0.jar. Your settings are kept, new options are added to config.yml automatically.

🎉 Parties – several games at the same time

• /vj play (or one of the five gates in the lobby): pick a game mode, create a party or join an open one.
• The leader picks the map, special modes, rounds (series) and hunter count, invites friends (clickable invite, /vj party invite <name>) and starts.
• Several parties play at once on different maps and in different modes – every map is only used by one game. The classic server game (/vj start) keeps working next to it.
• /vj games lists all running games – click to spectate. Admins can stop single games (/vj stop <player>) or all.
• Everything is sorted by mode: Hide and Seek, Tasks, Prop Hunt, Zone Wars and Among Us each have their own tab.

⚔️ New mode: Zone Wars

• Free for all with 3 lives in a zone that moves and shrinks – outside in the storm you lose lives, at the end comes the final storm. Last one standing wins.
• Baton with knockback, supply crates falling from the sky with medkit, shield, smoke bomb, ender pearls, spring boots, turbo, invisibility, snowballs, power strike, radar, storm shield and building blocks.
• Building (blocks disappear after 30 s), jump pads and an event every 45 s: moon gravity, turbo for everyone, golden rain, everyone glows, double damage, jump party.
• Eliminating someone gives you a life back; places 1–3 get bonus points. Settings under zonewars.

✨ 25 special modes (for every mode except Among Us)

• All modes: Zone, Infection, Sudden Death, Bounty, Tracker beacon, Blackout, Moon gravity, Turbo round, Gold rush, Supply drops (crates on parachutes), Jump pads, Snowball fight, King hunt.
• Hide and Seek & Tasks: Cuckoo, Chameleon (stand still = invisible), Giants & dwarves, Footprints; Tasks only: Time pressure.
• Prop Hunt: Taunts (earn coins), Misses hurt, Decoys, Mini props, Kaboom, Block chaos, Endless changes.
• Combine them freely in the party menu, or for the server game with /vj mods / spiel.spezial-modi.

🕵️ Among Us

• Hunters see their partner marked red (name, glow, tab list) – only they do.
• The tab list no longer reveals deaths – who died only shows at the next meeting.
• Ghosts keep doing their tasks – they count for the crew, nothing changes when someone dies.
• The Guardian Angel is now rolled when you die (you can have another role before) and protects with a right-click with the shield or F – no more Shift (that's for flying down).
• New cameras: real camera models with lens, hood and blinking LED; a console with three monitors; A/D switches the camera, night vision while watching.
• New map: Mira HQ – headquarters above the clouds with laboratory, reactor, greenhouse, balcony, launchpad and 11 vents.

🛒 Shop

• The smoke bomb is thrown now: hunters in the smoke get blindness and nausea.
• New Medkit: once per round, gives you one lost life back – one more hit before you're caught.

🎙️ Voice chat (Simple Voice Chat)

• Hunter radio: hunters hear each other across the map. In Among Us this works without any group – nobody can see in a list who the hunters are, nobody can leave it (you can only mute yourself or the other).
• Party radio: your party hears you anywhere in the lobby.
• Ghosts and spectators only hear each other; your own groups are paused during a game and rejoined afterwards.

🏝️ Lobby, rules, leaderboard

• New lobby: simple and clean – plaza with fountain, five mode gates, stage with podium, rulebook lectern, board with running games and open parties, a pavilion per map. No parkour.
• Rulebook (/vj rules, or the lectern): every mode on one page each.
• Leaderboard now per mode as well (/vj top <mode>), with win rate, your own rank and a legend explaining how points are earned. After every round you see "Your points" with a breakdown.

🗺️ 5 new maps (25 in total)

• Hotel – grand hotel with three floors, rooms and suites, reception, bar, indoor pool and gym in the basement, driveway with fountain, car park and terrace.
• Library – tall hall with two galleries, shelf aisles, reading rooms, map room, archive in the basement, garden.
• Train station – hall, three platforms, trains to climb into, freight yard, signal box, level crossing.
• Village – medieval market square, church with bell tower, tavern, mill, smithy, barn, fields, graveyard.
• Mira HQ (Among Us).
• All maps were checked again for holes, gaps into the void and unreachable hiding spots.

⚙️ Under the hood

• Less lag: scoreboards, tab list and boss bars only update when something changes; invisibility gear is only resent when needed.
• New config sections: partys, zonewars, spiel.spezial-modi, new sprachchat options, faehigkeiten.medkit.
