🧭 Manhunt System Datapack
A lightweight and flexible manhunt system designed for instant gameplay.
No mods, no plugins — just drop it in and the game starts automatically.
🚀 How It Works
- When the world loads, a 30‑second automatic countdown begins
- No role selection required — the game starts on its own
- Players who join after the countdown will automatically become Spectators
- Every time the world reloads, the system resets and starts a new countdown
🔧 Features
✔ 100% Vanilla Commands
Runs entirely on vanilla functions. No mods required.
✔ Automatic Start
The game begins 30 seconds after world load.
Perfect for servers or quick sessions where you want zero setup.
✔ Spectator Handling
Late‑joining players are placed in Spectator Mode to keep the game fair.
✔ No Auto-Ending
This datapack intentionally does not include a fixed win condition.
Ideal for any manhunt style:
- Reach the Nether
- Defeat the Ender Dragon
- Time‑limited challenges
- Custom rulesets
You decide how the game ends.
✔ Lightweight & Fast
Minimal overhead and smooth performance even on low‑spec servers.
🎯 Ideal For
- Servers that want a fully automated manhunt start
- Content creators who need a simple, reliable base system
- Players who prefer defining their own win conditions
- Worlds where the player does not reload or restart
📦 Notes
- It only works in multiplayer mode.
- Automatically resets on every world load
- Compatible with most datapacks that don't override game‑start logic
