MCManhunt

Match progression follows Minecraft's normal survival path: collect wood, find food, gather iron, enter the Nether, collect blaze rods, find the stronghold, and reach the End.

There is also network progression. Ranks unlock larger parties, queue priority, extra settings, and more twists. Gems can be used toward ranks, cosmetics, and selected game items.

The network adds custom tracking, matchmaking, role assignment, win conditions, party tools, and fresh-world setup without requiring client mods or datapacks.

Its settings library includes dozens of rule changes. Examples include Infection, Lucky Block, UHC Hunt, SwapHunt, Assassins Mode, Random Crafts, Random Drops, Structure Mania, shared inventories, glowing players, shrinking borders, and custom loot tables.

The lobby also includes cosmetic mounts, hats, weapon skins, kill effects, trails, and a PvP Arena.

Each match uses a fresh survival world instead of a shared long-term SMP map. Classic Manhunt uses the Overworld, Nether, and End, with portals and strongholds forming part of the chase.

Games can be hosted in North American or European regions. Regional addresses are available for players who want to connect directly to a nearby region.

PvP is central to Manhunt, Hitman, Random Items Challenge, Lava Rises, and the lobby Arena.

The Arena is a continuous free-for-all inside the lobby. Players receive a full diamond loadout, fight for kills, and lose nothing when they die. In Manhunt, hunters may respawn while the runner usually has one decisive life. Other modes use their own life and combat rules.

MCManhunt does not use a persistent survival-world economy. Its main currency is gems.

Players can spend gems on ranks, weapon skins, mounts, hats, cosmetics, and some Lava Rises kits. Gems can be bought, earned through voting, or won through events. Ranks are also sold as one-time purchases, while the main game modes remain free to play.

MCManhunt runs events and timed challenges that can award ranks, gems, or other prizes. Some challenges require team recording, follow specific team sizes, and use separate submission deadlines.

Event play still follows the network's normal rules. Cheats, unfair mods, rigged outcomes, and falsified runs can remove a player from future challenges.

The main community hub is Discord, where players can find teammates, join voice channels, follow announcements, ask for support, and discuss new modes.

The community is primarily English-speaking. Party play and matchmaking make it possible to join games with friends or enter matches with other players.

The network bans cheats, unauthorized advantage-giving mods, exploit abuse, malicious programs, impersonation, scams, combat logging, deliberate targeting, hate speech, harassment, NSFW content, unauthorized advertising, and attempts to damage the server.

Players must also follow event-specific rules. The service is intended for players aged 13 and older.

All core game modes are free to play, with no whitelist or application. Optional purchases include Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite, and Amethyst ranks, plus gem packs and cosmetics.

Paid ranks unlock convenience features and additional settings or twists. Gems can also be earned through voting and events, and some ranks can be purchased with in-game gems.
