MuffinHunt Datapack
by osfanbuff63
MuffinHunt Datapack turns a world into a manhunt minigame, with a short list of twists added to the classic hunt rules.
What it does
The datapack is a manhunt-style game played inside a Minecraft world, with a few twists on the usual rules. It is installed by placing its zip file in the datapacks folder of a world, and the game starts through a trigger named StartMuffinHunt. The datapack works on Fabric, Forge and Quilt, and is published for 1.19 – 1.19.3.
Running the game by hand needs more than the trigger. Functions are called with commands, and the tags that mark each player as hunter or hunted are assigned by running muffinhunt:dev/assign. Those tags are removed when the round ends. The datapack's code sits under the muffinhunt namespace, so it can be read and adjusted by anyone who edits the files.
Server owners need the datapack on the server, while players may join without it. Three optional companion mods can improve how the game looks: CIT Resewn, Custom Entity Models and [ETF] Entity Texture Features. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Manhunt rules with twists
The round follows a manhunt structure, and a few added rules change how the hunt plays out.
Trigger-based start
A single trigger named StartMuffinHunt begins the game, so no long command chain is needed to start a round.
Player tag assignment
A function assigns tags to players and removes them at the end of the round, keeping roles separate between games.
Readable namespace
All functions and data sit under the muffinhunt namespace, so the code can be found and modified without guessing where things live.
