Hardcore Death Indicator
by WhoisRec877
Hardcore Death Indicator marks Hardcore worlds where the player has died, so they stand out in the world list.
What it does
Players who play Hardcore mode can lose a world permanently after one death, and vanilla Minecraft offers no quick way to see which worlds ended that way. Opening the world list and entering each save is the only check. The mod changes how a Hardcore world appears in that list once its player has died, giving a visible marker instead.
The mod runs on the client and the server together, so both sides need it. It is published for Fabric only, with a single build, 1.0.1 for 26.2, released on 2026-09-11. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
World list marker
A Hardcore world where the player died is shown with a changed label in the world list.
Red and gray colors
The death state is shown in red and the living state in gray, so the two kinds of world are told apart at a glance.
No world entry needed
The check happens in the list itself, so a player does not have to enter each Hardcore world to learn its status.

What the author says
In vanilla Minecraft, there was no easy way to determine which worlds you had died in while playing Hardcore, so you had to enter the world to find out. If you have a Hardcore world where you died while this MOD is installed,, the “Hardcore Mode” text in the world list will change from red to gray.
