CuteHardcore
by Craisst
CuteHardcore changes Minecraft's hardcore rules with a set number of lives, a second-chance mechanic and a spirit state after the final death.
What it does
Players start with a configurable number of lives, with 3 as the default and a range of 1 to 10. Losing a life also applies status effects such as slowness 2, weakness 2 and hunger, and after the last life is spent the player becomes a spirit instead of being removed from the world. A command turns the hardcore mode on or off, and the vanilla hardcore setting is disabled while the mod works.
The mod adds a second-chance option that restores one life after a death, and an item editor that can cancel one death. Server operators can enable the mod's commands, change the number of lives, and show the remaining lives on screen. Commands are available to operators when cheats are enabled for the world, so the server owner decides who can change the rules during play.
Key features
Configurable lives
The number of lives ranges from 1 to 10, with 3 as the default, and can be set by the server.
Second chance
A death can be followed by a second chance that restores a life, letting players recover from one mistake.
Spirit state
After the lives are used up, the player becomes a spirit for three more deaths before the mode ends.
Life counter display
The number of lives a player has left is shown on screen, so the count is visible at all times.

Use cases
Survival challenge servers

Single-player hardcore runs
Players who want a lives system in a single world can set the count and turn the mode on with a command.
Who it’s for: The mod suits server owners and players who want a stricter hardcore rule with lives, effects and a spirit state instead of the vanilla one-life rule. Operators can manage the settings during play.
