Yellow Car Hunt

Quickstart

1. In Creative mode, take a Yellow Car NPC Spawn Egg or Yellow School Bus NPC Spawn Egg and use it on a solid block. The spawned vehicle will roam the area.

2. To start a real hunt, an operator can run:

   • /yellowcar enable
   • /yellowcar trigger

   Trigger the hunt while standing on an open, dry surface in the Overworld. A yellow car or school bus will appear nearby, a timer will begin, and the hunt area will receive a temporary world-border warning.

3. Hold a Yellow Radar in your main hand or off hand to scan for the nearest yellow hunter. Follow its direction indicator, but remember that decoys also appear on the radar.

4. Touch the real hunting car or bus before time runs out to complete the hunt. Touching a decoy makes it disappear instead.

5. Carry a Yellow Flare for a temporary safe zone and a Yellow Jammer to make hostile hunters wander instead of tracking you.

Overview

Yellow Car Hunt turns the Overworld into a timed search-and-survival challenge. Yellow cars and school buses roam through different biomes, flee when approached, and can be hidden among decoys. Hunts become more dangerous as corruption spreads through the world.

The main hunt includes:

• A real yellow car or school bus hidden somewhere nearby
• A countdown timer on the HUD
• A temporary search border centered on the hunt
• Roaming decoys
• Proximity horns, warning sounds, and hunt music
• Biome-specific movement and detection behavior
• Corruption that changes terrain and eventually creates hostile NPC cars

What It Adds

Vehicles and Hunters

Hunt cars and hunt buses are controlled by the mod and try to avoid nearby players. NPC cars roam on their own and can chase players as corruption increases.

Yellow Materials

The mod adds a complete yellow-themed set of terrain and building materials:

• Yellow Wood and Yellow Leaves
• Yellow Grass
• Yellow Planks
• Yellow Dirt
• Yellow Cobblestone
• Yellow Sand
• Yellow Gravel
• Yellow Clay
• Yellow Deepslate
• Yellow Blackstone
• Yellow Stick
• Yellow Flint
• Yellow Clay Ball

Yellow blocks drop themselves when mined. Yellow Cobblestone, Yellow Deepslate, and Yellow Blackstone require a pickaxe to drop as items.

Hunt Tools

• Yellow Radar — Tracks the nearest hunt or NPC car.
• Yellow Flare — Creates a short-lived safe zone.
• Yellow Jammer — Disrupts hunter detection.
• Yellow Sword, Axe, Pickaxe, and Shovel — Yellow-themed stone-tier tools.

How To Use

Starting a Hunt

The mod starts disabled when a world is initialized. An operator with permission level 2 can use the following commands:

A triggered hunt must be started by a player in the Overworld. The mod looks for a clear, dry surface away from the player. If the surrounding area is too obstructed or wet, the hunt may not start.

Once a hunt begins:

• The HUD displays the remaining time.
• The search area is temporarily centered on the target player.
• The world-border warning shows the edges of the search area.
• A car or bus hunt announcement and sound play for players in the Overworld.
• Players underground receive a warning to return to the surface.

Finding the Real Hunter

The real hunter and its decoys use the same vehicle type. A Yellow Radar points toward the nearest hunt or NPC vehicle within its scanning range.

The radar displays:

• Distance to the nearest hunter
• Direction relative to your view
• Current corruption stage
• Whether you are inside a safe zone

The radar tracks the nearest yellow vehicle, not necessarily the real target. Use it to narrow the search, then identify the real hunter by continuing the chase. When a hunt car or bus is close to a player, it tries to flee, so approach carefully and cut off its route.

Touch the real hunter to finish the hunt. Touching a decoy makes it vanish with a puff of particles and does not complete the objective.

Hunt Failure

If the timer reaches zero, the yellow car finds the players in the hunt world. The hunt ends with a lethal failure, and the corruption stage increases by one.

Successfully completing a hunt:

• Ends the hunt
• Awards one experience level
• Reduces corruption by one stage
• Removes the target and all decoys

Driving Vehicles

Use a placed Yellow Car or Yellow School Bus to mount it.

While riding:

• W drives forward.
• S reverses slowly.
• A and D steer.
• Sneak dismounts after the brief mounting grace period.

The school bus is slightly slower than the yellow car. A parked vehicle remains still until a player drives it.

Using the Car Trunk

The yellow car has a 27-slot storage trunk. Stand behind the car and right-click the rear section to open it.

• Clicking the roof, hood, side, or wheels mounts the car instead.
• The school bus has no trunk.
• The trunk belongs to the individual car and retains its contents.

Using Hunt Tools

Yellow Radar

Hold the radar in either hand to keep its live scan active. Right-clicking it displays a brief “radar online” message, but holding it is what provides the ongoing scan.

Yellow Flare

Right-click the flare to deploy it approximately eight blocks in the direction you are looking. It lands on the surface and creates a safe zone for 10 seconds.

Inside the safe zone:

• Hostile yellow cars lose track of you.
• Corruption is suppressed.
• The radar reports that you are safe.

A flare is consumed when deployed, except in Creative mode.

Yellow Jammer

Right-click the jammer to disrupt yellow-car detection for 15 seconds. Hostile yellow cars wander instead of chasing you.

The jammer has a 15-second use cooldown.

Crafting And Obtaining

Yellow materials can be collected from corrupted terrain or taken from the Creative inventory. Yellow Wood, Yellow Leaves, Yellow Grass, and yellow terrain blocks appear as corruption spreads around players.

Materials

Tools and Hunt Equipment

The cars, buses, and their NPC spawn eggs do not have crafting recipes. In Creative mode, select them directly from the mod’s item list. With commands, use:

• /give @s yellow-car-hunt-3gdx5u76:yellow_car
• /give @s yellow-car-hunt-3gdx5u76:yellow_car_npc
• /give @s yellow-car-hunt-3gdx5u76:yellow_bus
• /give @s yellow-car-hunt-3gdx5u76:yellow_bus_npc
• /give @s yellow-car-hunt-3gdx5u76:yellow_radar
• /give @s yellow-car-hunt-3gdx5u76:yellow_flare
• /give @s yellow-car-hunt-3gdx5u76:yellow_jammer

Abilities And Mechanics

Corruption Stages

Failed hunts increase the Overworld corruption stage. The stage ranges from 0 to 7.

The HUD and radar show the current corruption stage. Player deaths while the hunt system is active can also cause yellow trees to appear around the death location.

A successful hunt reduces the stage by one. Operators can directly set a stage with /yellowcar stage <0-7>.

Decoys

The number of decoys rises with corruption:

Desert hunts create an additional group of decoys, making deserts especially difficult search zones.

Biome Behavior

Hunt vehicles also move more slowly when they are school buses than when they are cars.

Difficulty Settings

Nightmare hunters can relocate during a close chase, making them harder to corner. Apocalypse mode presents the most severe timed hunt and corruption atmosphere.

Progression And Strategy

• Craft or obtain a radar before beginning a hunt.
• Keep a flare ready for the final seconds of a chase.
• Use the jammer when a hunter begins closing in or when you need time to cross open terrain.
• Search above ground. Hunts spawn on clear, dry surfaces, and caves trigger a warning rather than providing a reliable hiding place.
• Do not assume the nearest radar signal is the real target; decoys are included in the radar’s search.
• Use terrain and corners to intercept a fleeing car instead of following directly behind it.
• Treat deserts as high-risk areas because of their extra decoys.
• Keep corruption low by completing hunts. At higher stages, NPC cars become more numerous, terrain changes become widespread, and ordinary mobs can be replaced or removed.
• A player-spawned car is useful for exploring and intercepting hunters, while a school bus provides a larger vehicle with slightly lower speed but no storage trunk.
