🩸 DexHunt — A Deadly Game of Deception

DexHunt transforms Minecraft multiplayer into a Dexter-inspired PvP investigation game where trust means nothing, and every kill counts.
One player becomes Dexter, the cold-blooded hunter. Others are Potentials, who can turn into Killers after certain conditions are met.
Your goal depends on your role — but remember: only Dexter’s personal kills truly matter.

⚔️ Core Gameplay

• Dexter — The vigilante killer hunter. Must eliminate every Killer personally to win.
  Uses a Dexter Knife and Syringe for tracking and stunning targets.
• Potentials — Regular players who can become Killers by killing 1 player or 20 mobs.
• Once activated:
  • They are tagged as [KILLER] in the TAB list.
  • Every Dexter receives a Killer Compass pointing directly at them.

🧭 Killer Compass System

The compass is a key mechanic in DexHunt and behaves intelligently:

• When a Killer is active, Dexter gains a Killer Compass for that player.
• If a Killer dies by Dexter’s hand, their compass disappears permanently (they’re put into Spectator mode).
• If a Killer dies from anything else (fall damage, mobs, other players, etc.), the compass:
  • Stays in Dexter’s inventory or
  • Returns automatically if removed when the Killer isn’t a spectator.
  • Dexter keeps all his compasses unless he delivers the kill.

💀 Victory Conditions

• 🩸 Dexter Wins — only when all Killers are personally killed by Dexter.
  No automatic win from natural or indirect deaths.
• 🔪 Killers Win — when they collectively reach a kill goal (default: 200 mob kills).
• ♻️ The game resets automatically at round end (roles cleared, compasses removed, UI reset).

🛠️ Commands

DexHunt uses a simple role management command system:
