LumaHunt
by Luma
LumaHunt brings Manhunt-style game mechanics into a custom lobby, where one player is the Runner and the others hunt them down.
What it does
Players set up a Manhunt round from a LumaHunt Lobby, reached through the settings menu. The lobby lets the host pick roles, choose a start mode and share a lobby code with friends. Each player's role is assigned by right-clicking them, which keeps setup quick.
A round follows the usual Manhunt pattern: the target has to beat the game while the other players try to stop the Runner, and observers watch the match without taking part. Code sharing is handled through e4mc, a tunneling service, so friends can join without port forwarding. The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric or Quilt and is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is open source.
Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, both for 1.20.1, with the latest build dated 2026-02-18. Client and server share the work: the server and every player need the mod for a round to run. Bug reports go to the GitHub issue tracker.

How it compares
Manhunt Compass is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.16 – 1.20.6, released under the Apache License 2.0 and open source, so only the server needs it. Never Manhunt is Fabric-only for 1.20 – 1.21.11, with All rights reserved, so it is not open source. LumaHunt needs both client and server and is CC0 1.0 Universal, which makes it open source.
