Manhunt One or more Speedrunners race to kill the Ender Dragon. One or more Hunters, armed with a tracking compass, try to kill them first. Data pack only — no mod, no plugin, no server software. Minecraft Java Edition 26.2. Works in singleplayer, on LAN and on a dedicated server. Install Drop the manhunt folder into your world's datapacks/ directory. Exit the world and load it again. Not /reload — the settings and role screens are dialogs, and Minecraft only builds those when a world loads.

Optional: the companion manhunt-lang resource pack translates the mode into 12 languages. It is never required — without it everything reads in English. Running a match Everything an operator does lives behind one command: /function manhunt:admin/panel Button What it does Roles Assign sides.
