Hardcore Additions

by Snakich

Hardcore Additions changes how hearts are lost, restored and stolen in hardcore worlds, and adds a few smaller options to the difficulty.

FabricClient or server, optionalMIT License26.2

What it does

Players who die in a hardcore world lose hearts permanently, and a configurable revive option lets a dead player come back. Eating an enchanted golden apple restores hearts, and bonus hearts can be allowed to go past the usual ten. Each of these amounts, along with the heart loss on revive, is set in the config.

Player-versus-player combat can be given its own rules: the mod can turn off heart loss in PvP, or enable heart stealing and set how many hearts change hands. The changes apply only in hardcore worlds, so ordinary survival worlds are not affected. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric only, for 26.2, under the MIT License. It is not open source. Either side can run it, and neither needs it.

Questions

Does Hardcore Additions need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside the mod on Fabric.

Can a server run Hardcore Additions without clients installing it?

Yes. Either side can run the mod alone, and neither needs it, so the server can apply the changes while players join without installing anything.

Does the mod change ordinary survival worlds?

No. The changes apply only to hardcore worlds, so other worlds keep their normal rules.
