### **Test server**: `play.alttari.games`

# Quick Start 🗺️ 1. Run **`/manhunt`** and click the **green button**. (or `/manhunt setup` for guided setup) **That's it!** Classic Manhunts (including World Engine and parallel matches) in one click. # Why Choose JManhunt? ### Instant World "Resets" Most Manhunt plugins force full server restarts between matches. JManhunt solves this with a native **World Engine** that segments the world into near-infinite cells without server restarts. This makes matches feel seamless for not only small friend groups, but also dedicated servers. ### Mods and Twists The GUI allows you to one-click toggle between **20 default twists**. We also built a complete [JMHScript DSL](https://jruk8.github.io/JManhunt/configuration/modifiers/) to make modifier development easy. Simple ones like starting kits, random rolls, or basic status effects need no scripting (like `give

cooked_beef 8`). Mods can be written in-game through the **Modifier/Preset GUI** or through YAML. Find these modifiers and tens more on our [**Discord**](https://discord.gg/hkWmCVmWDC) community forum: - **Infection** » Dead runners become hunters on final death. - **Huddle for Warmth** » Stay close to teammates or wither away. - **Abilities** » Shift to invis, gapple on low health, blind nearby Hunters on kill... # Features - **One-click setup** » Get a World Engine lobby running **instantly**. - **World Reset Engine** » Grid-based single-world engine with spiral cell assignment and end resets. - **Compass tracking** » Fully tunable tracking compass with jamming, hotspots, and target cycling. - **Concurrent matches** » Run multiple matches in parallel alongside our spectator system. - **Mods** » Import community twists made with **JMHScript**, our DSL. - **Also for serious deployment** » PostgreSQL stats, multiple game queues, per-lobby mod/setting overrides, disconnect handling, 280+ config settings, and team chat. ### Requirements - Server Software » [Paper 26.2+](https://papermc.io/downloads/paper) - Java Version » **Java 25** - Dependencies » **None** (optional integrations live under [Soft Dependencies](https://jruk8.github.io/JManhunt/installation/#soft-dependencies)) ### Links - [Discord & Community Mods](https://discord.gg/hkWmCVmWDC) - [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/plugin/jmanhunt) - [Hangar](https://hangar.papermc.io/jruk/JManhunt) - [Documentation](https://jruk8.github.io/JManhunt/) - [GitHub](https://github.com/jruk8/JManhunt) ### Donate ☕ Developing JManhunt has taken me a lot of time and effort.
