Hardcore Disabled Fix
by ZCT Studio
Hardcore Disabled Fix is a client-side utility that makes some world options usable again in Hardcore worlds, for players who need them during testing or personal play.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft 26.2 and later restricts several world configuration options in Hardcore mode, among them command access and some multiplayer-related settings. This mod changes only the user interface: it reopens the toggles on the World Options screen and the Open to LAN screen, so those choices can be set again in a controlled and consistent way.
The mod leaves world generation, combat rules and survival mechanics untouched. Its code is lightweight and runs only on the client, so a player can use it alone while the server keeps its own rules. It suits LAN testing and debugging of advanced configurations, and it requires Fabric API on the Fabric loader.
Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 26.2 only, with snapshot builds for 26.2-pre-5 and later. The latest file for each loader is 1.1, released on 2026-06-24. The project is open source under the MIT License and has public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
World Options screen
The toggles on the World Options screen become available in Hardcore worlds, where vanilla locks them.
Open to LAN screen
Settings on the Open to LAN screen can be changed in a Hardcore world, which helps when testing multiplayer locally.
UI-only changes
Only the interface restrictions are removed, with no changes to gameplay mechanics or world generation.
Lightweight client code
The implementation is small and runs on the client, so the rest of the game behaves as it does in vanilla.

How it compares
Hardcore Death Indicator is a Fabric mod for 26.2, under the MIT License but not open source, and it runs on client and server. LAN Server Options is also a Fabric mod for 26.2, but it is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and runs on client and server. ResourceToggle covers Fabric and NeoForge for 26.2 and is client-side only, so it adds no server requirement.
