A new gold collection, fairer rules for leaving games, a head start for runners, and you can now play on Minecraft 26.3.

🆕 Minecraft 26.3

  • Join on 26.3, or on any version from 1.21.8 up.

👑 New collection: Invictus

  • 7 gold weapon skins: sword, axe, spear, bow, crossbow, shield and mace.
  • The Invictus helmet and a full Invictus armour set.
  • Heavenly Stag: a brand new mount, included with the full collection.
  • Sunbeam kill effect: a column of light strikes down on your victim.
  • Comet arrow trail: white and gold sparkles follow every shot.
  • In the store until November 21. Open the chest in the lobby to see it all.

🚪 Leaving games

  • In parties, /forfeit never penalizes you.
  • Leaving another way (closing Minecraft or going to the lobby): 2 warnings a day, then a matchmaking pause.
  • Party leader left or reset the game? Nobody is punished, the leader included.
  • Ranked: going to the lobby mid-match is a warning the first time, then suspensions.
  • Ranked, lag kicked or crashed? You can still rejoin with /rejoin. If you do not make it back in time, you lose the match but get no warning.
  • Ranked, Claim the win now unlocks after 60 seconds, so a lagging player has time to rejoin.
  • Fresh start: everyone’s leave penalties were reset on November 8.

💬 New commands

  • /privacy: choose whether your matches can be recorded.
  • /firstjoin: see when you, or a friend, first joined MCManhunt.

🎉 Party games

  • Party rules in chat. Everyone who joins your party now sees your rules straight away, without clicking.
  • Hitmen respawn timer. Party leaders can now make hitmen wait before they respawn, just like hunters.
  • True Morph: Mobs Only. A new mode where killing a player keeps your own morph. Mob kills still morph you.
  • Increased Luck. More ominous trial keys and more heavy cores from trial chambers, so your mace comes sooner.

🧭 Manhunt and Bingo

  • Runners get a direction. At the start of the game, runners are told which way the nearest good structure is.
  • More mobs in Bingo. No more searching three lush caves for a single axolotl.

🐛 Bug fixes

  • Spectators. You now only see the spectators of your own game in tab.
  • Auto Smelt. Blocks of raw iron, gold and copper now smelt too.
  • Auto Smelt in Block Shuffle and Bingo. No more raw ore block targets or raw ore tasks you cannot get.
  • Rejoining after a crash no longer leaves you stuck in a game that already ended.
  • Ranked while in a party. Clicking Ranked now tells you how to leave or disband your party.
