Minecraft Manhunt

Minecraft Manhunt is a Bedrock Edition Add-On which brings the infamous skill based competitive game, where players have individual roles, where they can either become a speedrunner or a hunter. It brings many manhunt concept by Dream from the Java Edition of Minecraft into Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. The basic concept of the Add-On gameplay is the speedrunner needs to beat Minecraft before the hunter kills the speedrunner.

Core Gameplay Concept

Thumbnail v1

The Speedrunner's goal

Their goal is to beat Minecraft.

If they beat Minecraft or before the timer ends depending on the gamemode you're playing on which you haven't got killed by hunter(s), the speedrunner wins.

If the speedrunner died, they lose instantly.

The Hunter's goal

Their goal is to kill the speedrunner by the end of beating Minecraft or the timer ends.

Hunter(s) has/have a compass which can track the speedrunner. The compass works in the dimension the speedrunner is in.

The hunter also has unlimited amount of life (excludes Minecraft Item Randomizer gamemode), the compass the game gives you cannot be moved, dropped, crafted with and the compass is not lost on death.
