Murder Mystery Map

Murder Mystery transforms Minecraft into a tense social deduction game where players receive secret roles and must achieve their objectives within a five-minute time limit. Set in a detailed kingdom filled with strategic hiding spots and tactical advantages, the map creates an atmosphere of suspense as innocents try to survive while the murderer hunts them down.

Role System and Objectives

The map features three distinct roles with opposing goals. Innocents must survive the full five minutes by collecting gold, hiding in buildings, or staying mobile to avoid the killer. The Murderer wins by eliminating all other players before time runs out, relying on speed and strategic positioning. The Sheriff serves as the innocents' defender, spawning with a bow to hunt down the murderer and provide an alternative victory condition for the innocent team.

Economy and Items

Gold spawns throughout the kingdom at a rate of approximately six coins every thirty seconds, creating constant movement and risk-reward decisions. Innocents can purchase a bow with one arrow for ten gold, giving them a fighting chance against the murderer. The killer can buy a compass for twenty gold during the final minute, which reveals innocent player locations every five seconds - a powerful late-game advantage that adds urgency to the endgame phase.
