ManhuntButItWorks

A Paper plugin for Minecraft Manhunt games. Hunters get a compass that cycles through online players, follows targets in the same dimension, and points toward the relevant Nether portal when direct tracking is not possible.

Features

• Main-hand and off-hand target cycling
• Tracking that survives reconnects, restarts, deaths, and offline targets
• Persistent Nether portal fallback for cross-dimension tracking
• Protected compasses that cannot be dropped, stored, cloned, or bundled accidentally
• Server-wide countdown timer with cancel support

Requirements

• Paper 1.21 or newer
• Java 21 for Paper 1.21 through 1.21.11
• Java 25 for Paper 26.1 and newer

Commands

• /manhuntcompass [player] gives a tracking compass
• /removecompass removes your Manhunt compasses
• /timer <seconds|cancel> starts or stops the countdown
• /manhunthelp shows command help

Put the jar in the server's plugins folder and restart the server. No client mod is required.
