Gamemode Hardcore

by EsotericEnderman

Gamemode Hardcore adds a command that sets individual players to hardcore mode on a Fabric server.

FabricServer-side onlyGNU Affero General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source26.1.2 – 26.3

What it does

The mod registers a hardcore gamemode command, so a server operator can switch single players into hardcore without changing the gamemode for everyone else. It is server-side only, which means players join without installing anything. Builds cover 26.1.2 – 26.3 on Fabric, and the code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Per-player hardcore command

    A command sets chosen players to hardcore while the rest of the server keeps its current mode.

  2. Server-side install

    Only the server runs the mod, and clients need nothing extra to join.

  3. Source code available

    The source code and issue tracker are public, so the behavior can be checked against the code.
