Game Boosts¶

For: intermediate admins boosting speedrunner odds.

Settings that skew world generation and loot odds in the speedrunners' favor, without touching any actual gameplay rules. The structure boosts work whether or not the world engine is enabled: each datapack follows only its own flag.

Nether Structures¶

nether-structures applies a datapack that boosts fortress and bastion remnant spawn frequency in the Nether. Toggling it in-game or with /manhunt reload applies the files immediately. Requires a server restart to take effect.

Overworld Structures¶

overworld-structures applies a datapack that boosts village, shipwreck, buried treasure, dungeon, ruined portal, desert pyramid, mineshaft, and mesa mineshaft spawn frequency in the Overworld. Toggling it in-game or with /manhunt reload applies the files immediately. Requires a server restart to take effect.

If you hand-edit the structure files in the plugin folder, run /manhunt reload when done so the plugin picks up your changes, then restart the server so Minecraft loads them. Edits made directly to the world datapacks copies are overwritten on reload: the plugin folder is the source of truth.

Disable Brutes¶

disable-brutes cancels every piglin brute spawn, imitating 1.16.1 where brutes never spawned: natural spawns, spawner eggs, spawners, and commands all cancel. Unlike the structure boosts, it is checked live on every spawn, so toggling it needs no restart.

Piglin Barter¶

piglin-barter swaps in a custom piglin bartering loot table with boosted ender pearl and obsidian odds, useful for balancing longer matches. This resembles the odds of the popular speedrunning version 1.16.1.

Loot tables are JSON files stored under settings/loot-tables, using the same format as vanilla Minecraft loot tables (with some parsing limitations).
