Manhunt is a Minecraft Fabric mod I built using Java. It brings the classic Runner vs. Hunters game mode to Minecraft, with features like player role selection, tracking compasses, a timer HUD, spectator controls, and automatic win conditions. I created this project to improve my Java and Minecraft modding skills while building something fun to play with friends.
the manhunt mod is being polished and is now ready to publish after a final test
Today, I continued working on my Minecraft Manhunt mod. I reviewed the main game code, tracker, and commands to check the existing features and find possible bugs. I confirmed that the automatic start system already checks the 15-block distance between the runner and hunters. I also worked on improving the manual start command so the game cannot start without a selected runner and at least one hunter. I’m reviewing the code file by file to make the mod more stable and fix any remaining issues.
Today, I worked on saving the selected roles in the Manhunt mod. I created payloads to request and send the saved runner, hunters, and spectators between the server and client. I also added the networking code so that when the admin reopens the Player Selection screen, the previously assigned roles can be loaded again.

Today I continued improving the Manhunt admin system and GUI. I added an admin-only Player Selection button to the pause menu and connected it to the player selection screen. I also worked on matching the button’s size and position with the vanilla Minecraft pause-menu buttons. I spent some time working with Mixins and Minecraft 26.1’s GUI methods to get everything working correctly.
Today I worked on improving the Manhunt mod’s admin system and GUI. I added admin status networking so the client knows whether the current player is an admin. I also made the Player Selection button appear only for admins on the Manhunt start screen. I started working on adding a Player Selection button to the Minecraft pause menu, but I still need to finish the mixin part. and i have a lot more to do
Solving all the problems and errors and making the mod fully functional.
Today I worked on improving my Minecraft Manhunt mod.I fixed the compass tracking when the runner changes dimensions and made it track the portal properly. I also fixed the compass after hunter respawns and made it disappear when the game ends.I improved the HUD to make it smaller and cleaner, showing only the Manhunt title and timer.Also improved /manhunt status to show the runner, hunters, time, winner, and final time with better formatting.Slowly getting the mod closer to being fully playable! 🚀
I worked mainly on the player selection system for my Manhunt mod.I improved the starting GUI and made the flow more organized:Added the “LET’S PLAY MANHUNT” starting screen.Added Open LAN World and Start Manhunt buttons.Made the LAN screen return to the player selection screen after opening the world.Created a new Select Players screen.Added separate RUNNER and HUNTERS sections.Players can now be selected using checkbox-style buttons like [ ] and [✓].Only one player can be selected as the Runner.Multiple players can be selected as Hunters.A selected Runner cannot also be selected as a Hunter.Added the ability to unselect the Runner or Hunters.Made the player list update when players join or leave.Started converting the selected player names into their UUIDs.Created the ManhuntRoleSelectionPayload to prepare for sending the selected roles from the client to the server.The next step is connecting this selection system to the server so the selected Runner and Hunters actually become the roles used by the Manhunt game.Slowly getting the full Manhunt system together! 🚀
Today I worked mainly on the GUI system for my Minecraft Manhunt mod.What I worked onAdded the “LET’S PLAY MANHUNT” starting screen.Added an OPEN LAN WORLD button so the host can open the world to other players.Added a START MANHUNT button that opens the player selection screen.Created a new SELECT PLAYERS GUI.Designed the player selection screen with a centered panel and separate RUNNER and HUNTERS sections.Improved the GUI layout and changed the player buttons to a smaller size so they don’t take up too much space.Added detection of players currently connected to the world using the client connection.Started implementing runner selection by turning connected player names into clickable buttons.Added a selectedRunner variable to keep track of the selected runner.Tested the GUI and confirmed that clicking a player can register them as the selected runner.Cleaned up some of the selection code and layout.Current GUI flowMinecraft World

[ DONE ]The GUI is still being developed. The next step is to properly separate Runner selection from Hunter selection, allow multiple hunters, and then send the selected roles to the server to actually start the Manhunt.Overall, today was mostly about building the foundation of the custom Manhunt GUI and getting player selection started.
