Hardcore Capitalism
by wdfeer
Hardcore Capitalism changes what dying costs: each death takes 5 Silver from the player's balance, and debt can end in a ban.
What it does
Hardcore Capitalism builds an economy around the Numismatic Overhaul currency system. When a player dies, the balance is reduced by 5 Silver, and that loss cannot be recovered. A player who falls into debt can be banned, so the cost of dying grows with every death. Where a world is not multiplayer, a player who falls into debt is moved to spectator mode rather than banned.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. Server owners who want a harsher economy can use it alongside the rest of the currency setup. Installation needs Fabric Language Kotlin and Fabric API on the server, and the 0.4.6 build targets 1.20.1 only, published on 2026-03-23.
The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Source code and the issue tracker are public, so changes and bug reports can be followed in the repository.

What the author says
Whenever a player dies, their balance is reduced by 5 Silver (unrecoverable). If this brings them into debt, they are banned. In singleplayer, the player is switched to spectator instead.
