A Paper plugin for Minecraft Manhunt games. Hunters get a compass that cycles through online players, follows targets in the same dimension, and points toward the relevant Nether portal when direct tracking is not possible.
Features
- Main-hand and off-hand target cycling
- Tracking that survives reconnects, restarts, deaths, and offline targets
- Persistent Nether portal fallback for cross-dimension tracking
- Protected compasses that cannot be dropped, stored, cloned, or bundled accidentally
- Server-wide countdown timer with cancel support
Requirements
- Paper 1.21 or newer
- Java 21 for Paper 1.21 through 1.21.11
- Java 25 for Paper 26.1 and newer
