Configuration

The config.yml file is located in the plugins/JManhunt/ folder. Most changes can be applied instantly using the reload command, though some system settings require a server restart.

/jmanhunt reload

System Settings

These options handle the technical foundation of the plugin.

locale: Defines the plugin language. If you created a custom file in the locales/ folder (e.g., fr.yml), enter fr here.
storage: Choose between SQLITE (local file, no setup needed) or MYSQL (external database for networks).
check-for-updates: We recommend keeping this true to receive notifications about important bug fixes.

Game Mechanics

Customize the win conditions and how the game handles deaths and pauses.

runner-goal: Set to KILL (standard Ender Dragon hunt) or TIME (survival challenge).
runner-goal-kill: Define the target entity (e.g., WITHER, ENDER_DRAGON). Use official Spigot EntityType names.

runner-life-type:
- INDIVIDUAL: Every runner has their own set of lives.
- SHARED: All runners share one global pool of lives.
game-end-condition: Decide if the game ends when the first runner is out or only after all runners are eliminated.

pause-freeze-game: When active, the entire world (AI, weather, time) freezes during a pause. This ensures absolute fairness if a player needs a break.

Visuals & Chat

JManhunt includes built-in features to style your server without needing extra plugins for Tablists or Chat formatting. You can define unique headers and footers for Runners, Hunters, and Spectators.

MiniMessage Support

The plugin fully supports the MiniMessage format. You can use modern gradients, hover effects, and click events in your chat and tablist strings.

You can use the MiniMessage Viewer for a easier writing process.
