About Manhunt
From SpigotMCManhunt, a hunter(s) has to kill a speedrunner(s) before he/she/it kills the ender dragon.
This is not an original idea. I have tried my best to copy Dream's manhunt plugin while adding some flair to it.
Features:
- Automatically creates worlds for the manhunt and deletes them after the speedrunners are dead.
- Compass works in the nether and end!
- More than one speedrunner can be playing
- Team chat and all chat for both hunters and speedrunners
- Customizable ender pearl chance from piglllins
- Speedrunners can now spectate
- Customizable cooldown for compass
/speedrunner (add/remove) (player name) - to add and remove hunters [
manhunt.speedrunner]
/manhunt (start/stop) - to start and stop the manhunt [manhunt.manhunt]
/teamchattoggle - to talk to people in your team only.
When you load in, it automatically freezes you. This allows you to add others without worry about inconsistent start times.
There is a config.yml that includes compass cooldown time and whether if the hunter will have a compass or not.
I will update the plugin if there are any errors or obvious features that I missed.
Future Updates will contain:
- Client sided particle effects after using compass
- Ability to check your teammate's health. (working on)
- The addition of challenges to the speedrunner and/or hunter.
- The addition of killing the wither instead of killing the ender dragon. (working on)
Bugs:
- None so far!
Please give feedback and honestly review my plugin. Thank you!
Please don't put bugs in the reviews. Kindly put it in the discussion tab of this resource. Thank you!
