Description
The runners have to find the trophy and mine it. The hunters have to stop them. Every runner gets a compass that points to the trophy, and every hunter gets a compass that points to the nearest runner. It changes from red to green as they close in.
Setup Guide
1. Place the trophy
- In creative, open the Hunters Trophy creative tab. It's the extra tab just right of the Search tab. You can also use
/give @s hunterstrophy:trophy_block. - Place the trophy where the runners have to reach it. A message at the bottom of the screen confirms its position, and every Trophy Compass now points to it.
- Don't want to reveal the location? If you place it in survival, no message is shown.
- No trophy block?
/hvs trophy setmarks the block below you as the target, or use/hvs trophy set <x y z>.
- To check or return to it later,
/hvs trophyteleports you on top of it and puts its coordinates in chat. Click the coordinates to copy them.
2. Pick the teams
/hvs runner <players>
/hvs hunter <players>
Selectors work, for example /hvs runner @a[tag=runner]. Use /hvs list to check who's on each team.
Joining a team takes a player off any other scoreboard team they were on.
3. Give the runners a head start (optional)
/hvs timer 60
When the game starts, hunters are frozen for 60 seconds. /hvs timer 0 turns the countdown off.
4. Adjust the rules (optional)
/hvs settings shows every setting. To change one:
/hvs settings runnerElimination false
/hvs settings nearRange 40
See the settings table below.
5. Start the game
/hvs start
Every runner gets a Trophy Compass, every hunter gets a Hunter Compass, and the countdown starts if you set one.
6. During the game
- Anyone who loses their compass can use
/hvs getto get it back. /hvs give <players>gives players the compass for their team.- Runners win when one of them mines the trophy with a diamond or netherite pickaxe.
- Hunters win when every runner has been eliminated (if
runnerEliminationis on).
7. After the game
/hvs stopends a game early with no winner./hvs resetclears the teams, the trophy location and the game, ready for the next round.

FAQ
Why is my compass grey and spinning? There's nothing to point at. The trophy hasn't been placed or set, there are no runners online, or the target is in another dimension.
Why can't I mine the trophy?
You need a diamond or netherite pickaxe. During a game, only runners can mine it unless onlyRunnersCanMine is off. Players in creative can always break it.
Where did the locator bar go? The mod turns it off so players can't see each other's positions. The compasses are the only way to track people.
