That's it! Classic Manhunts (including World Engine and a lobby) in one click.
Why Choose JManhunt?
Instant World "Resets"
Most Manhunt plugins force full server restarts between matches. JManhunt solves this with a native World Engine that segments the world into near-infinite cells without server restarts. This makes matches feel seamless for not only small friend groups, but also dedicated servers.
Mods and Twists
The GUI allows you to one-click toggle between 15 default twists. We also built a complete JMHScript DSL to make modifier development easy. Simple ones like starting kits, random rolls, or basic status effects need no scripting (like give <p> cooked_beef 8). Mods can be written in-game through the Modifier/Preset GUI or through YAML.
