About this Mod

Secret Manhunt!

As an innocent player, your goal is simply to beat the Ender Dragon and return to the Overworld, all without dying. But watch out---a number of players are randomly selected to be Secret Hunters. To win, the Secret Hunters must kill all of the innocent players! Hunters will hide their identity and do whatever else is necessary to defeat the innocents.

How to Use

  • When starting, players will be placed into a small lobby.
  • The first player to join is designated as the game's host. If this player disconnects, the player who joined next earliest will be selected.
  • The host can start the game and customize the number of hunters using the following command:
/trigger SH_StartTrigger set 1
  • 1 can be replaced with a larger number for more hunters.

Details

  • This pack can be played with 2+ players.
  • Hunters can respawn, but players will become spectators on death.
  • Players only win when returning to the overworld after killing the dragon.
  • This datapack is best played with proximity chat or voice call.
  • Advancement messages and Death messages are disabled.
  • Currently, this pack should be played on a fresh world for each match.
  • This pack changes certain values, and should not be used on existing worlds.
  • This pack was inspired by this series from the zorato YouTube channel. Indirect inspiration has also been taken from Among Us by Innersloth and the original Minecraft Manhunt series.

Have fun, and good luck!
