Hardcore Plus+
by DeisDev
Hardcore Plus+ is a server-side mod that makes death permanent by wiping the world when a player dies, and it can also be run as a repeating reset.
What it does
When a player dies in a world managed by Hardcore Plus+, the server deletes that world and generates a fresh one. A single death affects every player on the server, so the whole group starts over together. The mod supports existing hardcore worlds, but a world that is not prepared for it loses its save on death, so loss of the current world is irreversible unless the server owner keeps external backups.
The mod is configured on the server and behaves according to its settings. Server owners can preview the next world name and seed policy, check the in-game time and real uptime, reload the configuration, and list the loaded values. Hardcore Plus+ runs on Fabric and NeoForge and requires Fabric API on Fabric. Players join without installing anything, since only the dedicated server needs the mod. The author strongly recommends restarting the server manually each time a world is rotated.
