About

MCManhunt is the largest Minecraft Manhunt server on the planet — inspired by Dream’s Manhunt gamemode, where “hunters” chase “runners” who race to beat the game before they’re caught. Since 2020 we’ve grown to over 1,500,000 unique players, with servers in Europe and North America. It’s Minecraft Java Edition, free to play, and needs no mods or datapacks.

What is MCManhunt?

Manhunt is the multiplayer format popularized by Dream: runners try to beat the game and kill the Ender Dragon, while hunters armed with tracking compasses race to stop them. MCManhunt takes that core idea and builds a whole network around it — instant matchmaking, a party system, ranks, in-game cosmetics, and a huge library of minigames and rule-changing “twists.” If you’ve seen a Manhunt format in a video, chances are it’s playable here.

Game modes

  • Manhunt — the classic hunters-vs-runners chase, with tracking compasses and a runner head start.
  • Manhunt Twists — dozens of optional rule-changers like Infection, Lucky Block, UHC Hunt and Assassins.
  • Hitman — survive the match while infinite-life hitmen hunt you down.
  • Death Swap — get teleported into each other’s positions; leave your rival somewhere deadly.
  • Block Shuffle — find and stand on your random block before the timer runs out.
  • Random Items Challenge — last-team-standing PvP with random item drops.
  • Bingo — race to complete objectives on a shared bingo card.
  • Speedrun — a shared-timer race to beat the game.
  • Lava Rises — outlast the rising lava across multiple variants.
  • PvP Arena — an always-open practice pit to warm up your PvP.
