Minecraft Manhunt

This plugin is a personal take on the famous manhunt minigame, it was also heavily inspired by Dream.
The manhunt minigame is a game where one person (the target) tries to beat Minecraft (kill the enderdragon) and where other persons (the hunters) try to stop him and if the target dies, the hunters have won.

Features
  • Hunters and targets will be teleported to spawn and can't move until the game starts
  • Custom loadouts and effects can be applied to the target or hunters!
  • Compass that points to the target when right clicked
  • Tons of customisation options.

Commands

These commands can only be executed by the player (and by default, OP's).

/mh - Shows help about the plugin.

/mh hunters <add|remove|clear|list> [player] - This command is used to check which players are the hunters (list) and change which players are the hunters.

/mh target <player> - Sets a certain player to be the target.

/mh start - Starts a manhunt game.

/mh stop - Stops a manhunt game, use this if you want to quit the current game.
