About this Mod
PLEASE NOTE!
THIS IS NOT A COMPASS ADDON
This datapack/mod is used ALONGSIDE compass addons etc! Its purpose is to help make the preperation of recordings easier. Not just for the video's consistancy or the runner's sanity, but for the hunters too!
YOU MUST DO THIS IN ORDER FOR THE DATAPACK TO WORK BEST!
This is due to Mojang locking some datapack permissions behind server.properties!
1. Open your server files
2. Head to "server.properties"
3. Set "function-permission-level=" to 3 or 4 AT LEAST!
4. Reset your server and then it's done!
Command Functions!
- /function manhunt:start_food
This command does the following:
Spoiler

Immediatly respawns all players. (does not enable doImmediateRespawn.)
Sets time to 250. (The best time for videos!)

This does the exact same command as manhunt:pause, but does not use /tick freeze.
It is unrecommended to use this command, but if you have not enabled server permissions, it will be your only option.

Gives all players Resistance 255
