Hardcore Redeploy

by Hexugory

Hardcore Redeploy lets a dead player come back into a hardcore world through a Buy Station block that spends levels to revive them.

FabricForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1

What it does

The Buy Station block lets a player who has died return to play from spectator mode by paying experience levels. Each revival costs more than the last, so repeated deaths add danger to the run. The goal is a hardcore world that stays punishing without ending a whole play session over a single unlucky death.

The server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for Fabric and Forge, both for 1.20.1, and requires Fabric API and Geckolib. Hardcore Redeploy is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Buy Station revival

    A block that revives a dead player out of spectator mode in exchange for experience levels.

  2. Rising revival cost

    Each revival costs more levels than the one before, so frequent deaths grow more expensive over time.

  3. Softer hardcore play

    Revivals keep failure costly while reducing the chance that random misfortune ends a world for good.

  4. Spectator mode return

    A revived player returns to the world instead of being locked out of it after death.
