HardCraft
by playvital
HardCraft makes survival harder by adding bleeding, wool thread, and healing items such as medicinal mixtures and medical kits to vanilla Minecraft.
What it does
HardCraft changes the basic survival loop. Players can be left bleeding, and bandages and other medical items are needed to stop it. Wool thread is crafted from wool and used in recipes for the new healing items, so supplies must be gathered rather than found in quantity.
Healing comes from brewed and assembled items. A medicinal mixture is brewed at a brewing stand with plantain and regenerates half a heart. A golden apple variant regenerates two hearts. A medical kit is assembled from medicinal mixture syringe bandages and regenerates three hearts while stopping bleeding. Items can be used a limited number of times, so players must plan their supplies.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with version 1.3 dated 2025-06-23 as the latest. HardCraft is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Bleeding
Certain damage can leave a player bleeding, and the medical items stop the effect.
Medicinal mixtures
Brewed mixtures restore small amounts of health and are made at a brewing stand with plantain.
Medical kits
Kits built from syringe bandages restore three hearts and stop bleeding in a single use.
Limited-use healing
Healing items are consumed after a fixed number of uses, which limits how often they can be relied on.
Wool thread crafting
Wool thread is crafted from wool and serves as an ingredient for the medical recipes.
