Prop Hunt – Neo/Forge 1.21.1/1.20.1

The classic Prop Hunt gamemode for Minecraft!
Hide as blocks, hunt your friends, and enjoy chaotic, fast-paced matches on your server.

🧱 What is Prop Hunt?

Prop Hunt is a hide-and-seek minigame where players are split into two teams:

• Props – Transform into blocks and hide in the map. Use your freeze ability to blend perfectly into the environment.
• Hunters – Track down and eliminate all props before time runs out!

The mod is fully configurable and designed for servers, with support for custom blocks, custom weapons, and multiple maps.

⭐ Features

Block Transformation

Props can transform into any block, including custom player heads with NBT data.

Freeze System

Props can freeze in place to look like real blocks.

Fully configurable freeze duration, cooldown, and regen rate.

Custom Maps

Create unlimited maps.

Separate spawn points for Hunters and Props.

Hunter Loadout

Configure custom weapons and ammo for hunters.

Ammo is rewarded on each prop kill.

HUD Display

Real-time game information.

Sound System

Props periodically whistle to help Hunters locate them.

Victory and defeat sounds at the end of the round.

Special Items

• Prop Locator (Hunters) – Every minute, hunters receive an item that plays a sound on a random prop.
• Decoy (Props) – Every minute, props receive an item that plays a decoy sound on a random prop (can be on themselves or another prop).

Fully Configurable
