About the AI Hunter data pack

Have you been wanting to try out the fancy Minecraft Manhunt but your friends just do not play Minecraft (or you just have ZERO friends)?

Here is the thing you would ask for, AI Hunters that will chase you down NO MATTER WHAT.

Fair Warning: it is not easy

Challenge Goal:

-Kill the Ender Dragon (you can choose other goals) before it kills you

To start your own challenge:

  • install this data pack in a newly created survival world, with "allow cheats" on (tutorial from wiki)
  • make sure your render and simulation distance is 8 or above (this is crucial for this datapack to work as intended. If your device struggle to render and simulation distance to 8 please see the "Options (settings menu & more)" section below, there is a way)
  • type /reload or /function kyleong:aihunter/menu
  • click on the pop-up main menu

Once you click hunter(s) will spawn at where you are, and there will be the new world spawn. Hunter(s) will not start to hunt their targets down since they are not activated yet. They will be activated once any of their target moves (unless you set initial activation time in settings menu). Normally one death means game over for manhunt, but you could set the rule yourself in settings menu. (please see "Options (settings menu & more)" section below)

Hunter's targets: Hunter(s) will hunt down any player in survival or adventure mode. However, any players in the team "aihunter" with be excluded and considered as their teammate. That means if you want, you can hunt down your friend(s) with AI hunter(s) as your ally. (see "Teamming up with AI hunter(s)" section below for details)
