Commands¶

For: intermediate admins. Casual players only need status, qs, and start.

All commands are available under /manhunt and its alias /mh. Tab completion only suggests what the sender has permission to run.

Playing¶

Match Status¶

/manhunt status shows your own match (watching one after elimination counts), else your lobby queue. An id shows one roster grouped by role; all lists every running match, then every populated lobby. Extras under settings.server.status toggle win conditions, the L{lobby}|G{game} tag, running time, enabled modifiers, and show-on-start. Long rosters truncate, dead players get a skull line (tune it all under manhunt.status-*).

Teams¶

Roles¶

Targets always need the permission for their role. Players already in the match need -f (-force) for any role change; moving someone else out of afk needs the command twice within 10 seconds; -s (-silent) suppresses the role messages and sounds. With a live match, the mid-match policy decides instead (see Concurrent Matches).

Quick Start¶

Assigns teams and starts immediately, bypassing autostart. Who converts and where everyone lands is in Concurrent Matches.

Lobbies¶

Each lobby runs its own queue, autostart countdown, and match (see Concurrent Matches); joining honors the per-role queue caps unless -f is passed. New to lobbies? Start with the Lobby System.

Matches¶

Joining and Leaving a Running Match¶

/manhunt game join lets someone watch; living participants confirm leaving with a second run within 10 seconds. Full behavior is in Concurrent Matches.

Team Chat¶

Hunters and speedrunners in a match can talk privately by prefixing a line with @team or @t. See Team Chat for prefixes, settings, and lobby scoping.

Settings¶

Editing Settings In-Game¶

/manhunt config browses and changes settings in-game, one category at a time (same settings as the admin GUI); tab completion only suggests children.

/manhunt config settings match autostart enabled true
/manhunt config settings compass actions auto interval 5
/manhunt config world-engine general cell-size 20000

Every value is validated before it is stored. String lists drill by index (... 0, ... 0 <words>, ... add <words>, ... remove 0, ... reset). With no category the command lists categories; setting names match case-insensitively. When settings.server.announce.config-changes is enabled, every change is announced to online admins (jmanhunt.admin) except the one who made it.

Per-Lobby Overrides¶

/manhunt override stores per-lobby setting and modifier overrides (matches read the override first); also editable in the admin GUI.

/manhunt override 1 settings get settings match autostart enabled
/manhunt override 1 settings set settings match autostart enabled false
/manhunt override 1 modifiers set gapple true
/manhunt override 1 clear

get shows the effective value plus (override) or (global); every clear asks once and deletes on an identical rerun within 10 seconds; emptied lobbies are pruned.

World Engine¶

Lobby and Game Worlds¶

If the lobby world does not exist yet, the first tpto lobbyworld run asks for a confirming second run within 10 seconds, which generates a void world, pastes the DEFAULT preset, and points lobby 0 at the spawn. Pass a preset (EMPTY, DEFAULT, ADVANCED) with a selector to generate with that preset instead (ignored once the world exists). gameworld hops to the game world spawn and never generates anything. Without a selector, both target you (console must pass one).

Mods and Admin¶

Modifiers¶

Browse and toggle mods with setmod and setpreset, through the admin GUI, or by editing files under mods/ and running /manhunt reload. Share one with export, take one in with import (see Creating Modifiers):

/manhunt modifiers export modifier gear-dice
/manhunt modifiers import modifier JMH1D:...

Create entries without touching YAML (values run until the next flag, so no quoting needed):

/manhunt modifiers create modifier Beef Party --trigger ON_START --player give <p> cooked_beef 8
/manhunt modifiers create preset Chaos --member beef-party --member gear-dice

All create flags: Creating Modifiers and Presets. Edit a modifier's exposed settings and visibility without touching YAML:

/manhunt modifiers config flood setting base-y 69
/manhunt modifiers config flood reset base-y
/manhunt modifiers config flood define palette.accent COLOR
/manhunt modifiers config flood color ff00aa
/manhunt modifiers config flood broadcast false

See Config Settings for setting, reset, define, icon, color, and broadcast; the complete modifier reference lives in Modifiers.

Challenges¶

Play built-in challenges through our companion plugin JManhunt-Challenges (/jmhchallenges toggle <challenge>).

Developer Tools¶

/manhunt dev schem saves and loads .jmhlobby bundles (structure plus lobby bounds and teleports) for authoring lobby presets. See Developer Tools; only list works from the console.
