Manhunt: Fabric
by YTG1234
Manhunt: Fabric is a server-side Fabric utility that runs a Dream-style manhunt game through two commands, speedrunner and hunters.
What it does
A server running Manhunt: Fabric picks one speedrunner and any number of hunters, then the game is managed entirely with Minecraft commands. The speedrunner is set with speedrunner set and a specific player can be named that way. The current speedrunner is shown with speedrunner get and removed with speedrunner clear.
Hunters are handled by a second command group. Players are added with hunters add, the full list is read with hunters get, and the list is wiped with hunters clear. Rather than being ported from a plugin, the mod was written from scratch for Fabric Mod Loader, and it reproduces a good share of the mechanics from Dream's Minecraft Manhunt plugin. Its Cloth Config options screen opens through Mod Menu on the client.
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing it. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Builds exist for 1.16.2 – 1.16.5, with v2.0.2 for 1.16.5 as the latest file, published on 2021-01-04.
Key features
Speedrunner assignment

Manhunt mechanics
Many of the rules from Dream's Minecraft Manhunt plugin are reproduced inside the mod.
Cloth Config options screen

This mod also publishes snapshot builds. Snapshots are not shown in the matrix.
Use cases
Manhunt games on a server
A server owner runs a round with one speedrunner chased by a group of hunters, using only commands.
Who it’s for: Server owners and communities who want to run manhunt rounds and manage roles through commands.
How it compares
Ground Clear is server-side only, with files for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.12.2 – 26.2, under All rights reserved and not open source. Manhunt: Fabric is also server-side only, but it targets Fabric alone for 1.16.2 – 1.16.5 and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. KeybindsPurger is a client-side only mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, released under the MIT License as open source, so it does not replace a server-side round.
