About MCManhunt and its history · Guide reviewed 7 October 2026
Minecraft Manhunt
Manhunt, popularized by Dream, is a gamemode where one player, the speedrunner, tries to beat the game while being hunted by others. We offer different twists and custom settings to spice up your games.

Lava Rises
Lava Rises is a gamemode where you fight to be the last one standing, as the floor beneath you turns to lava, rising ever higher. There are several different Scenarios that can happen, such as Lucky Block or Chaos.
View →
Block Shuffle
Block Shuffle is one of the server’s unique gamemodes, where players race against the clock to find and stand on a specific block. Each round, a new block is randomly assigned, and you must locate it quickly. With various twists and custom settings available.
View →
Speedrun
A Gamemode where the goal is to complete the game as fast as possible. Players must use their knowledge and skills to optimize every move, from gathering resources to navigating the Nether, to beat the dragon ASAP.

Manhunt Twists
Manhunt, remixed, stack twists like Infection, Lucky Block, SwapHunt, UHC Hunt and OP Loot to bend every rule of the chase.
View →
Hitman
Manhunt flipped: survivors must stay alive for 60 minutes while endlessly-respawning Hitmen track them by compass.
View →
Random Items Challenge
Runners get a random item drop every couple of minutes. Turn whatever RNG hands you into a dragon-killing run before the hunters close in.
View →
Death Swap
On a timer, you swap places with a rival, so leave yours somewhere deadly and don’t get teleported into your own trap.
View →
Bingo
Race to complete a line of tasks on your bingo card first. Turn on Lockout mode to steal squares from everyone else.
View →
PvP Arena
The lobby fighting pit. Type /arena join for a full diamond kit and warm up your combat before the next Manhunt.
