---

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. [CODE] Lobby ↓ Match Start ↓ Runner Head Start ↓ Hunters Released ↓ Main Manhunt ↓ Village Stage ↓ Transition ↓ Stronghold Stage ↓ End Game [/CODE]

---

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.
