Original Manhunt Pause Mod:
This mod ensures the Manhunt datapack is only active when there is at least one player on each team (Runner and Hunter). If there aren't enough players on both teams, it will automatically disable the datapack using the command:
/datapack disable file/Manhunt.zip
Once both teams have at least one player (e.g., a Runner and a Hunter), the datapack will be automatically enabled again with the command:
/datapack enable file/Manhunt.zip
This system is perfect for players who don't want a single-session Manhunt, ensuring the game only starts once both teams are ready.
All Credits to the original datapack by Lprogammer, this only adds the additional pausing feature for people who want it!
