Your First Modifier¶

Part of Spice it up with twists. Coming from the panel? This is the next level down.

A runner starter kit: every speedrunner gets food, a sword, and a shield when the match starts. Plain give commands, no tags needed.

In the GUI¶

1. Open /manhunt and pick Modifiers.
2. Hit the create button (top-right) and name it Runner Starter Kit. You become the author, and the new entry opens in its editor.
3. Open Behavior and make sure ON_START is ticked under Runs On: the kit hands out once when the match starts.
4. Open Command Lists, then the speedrunner list, and append these three lines:

give <p> cooked_beef 8
give <p> stone_sword 1
give <p> shield 1

<p> becomes each runner's name when the lines run. Lines in the speedrunner list only run for speedrunners; hunters get nothing.

As a File¶

The GUI wrote mods/modifiers/runner-starter-kit.yml. The same file by hand looks like this:

enabled: true
meta:
  name: "Runner Starter Kit"
  author: You
  visibility:
    icon: CHEST
    broadcast: true
behavior:
  main:
    runs-on:
      - ON_START
    commands:
      speedrunner:
        - "give <p> cooked_beef 8"
        - "give <p> stone_sword 1"
        - "give <p> shield 1"

After editing files by hand, run /manhunt reload.

If It Does Not Work¶

• Is the toggle on? New entries start disabled.
• Are you testing as a speedrunner? The hunter list would skip you.
• Did reload warn about a line? It names the mod, block, line, and char: fix the named line and reload again.

Next Steps¶

• Creating and Sharing: validation rules, presets, and share strings.
• Behaviors: intervals, kill triggers, timing, chance.
• Tags: Basics: straightforward tags like <random-num:4,12> when plain commands run out.
