This is an add-on datapack for those who wish to play BlazeandCave’s Advancements Pack in Hardcore Mode.
Modifications
- Advancements that require you to die are changed so that you only need to take damage from their respective sources instead.
- “Handmade Blinding”, which ordinarily requires you to wear a Carved Pumpkin enchanted with Curse of Binding, now just requires you to obtain one instead so you don’t get stuck with one for the rest of your playthrough.
Installation
- Download this datapack and the original BlazeandCave’s Advancements Pack. You should end up with a file labelled "BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack Hardcore version.zip".
- Put both datapacks into your world.
- If in a new world, make sure the Hardcore datapack is above the original advancements pack.
- If in an existing world, you will need to run the command /function blazeandcave:hardcore_install. You will need to open to LAN and enable cheats in order to run this command.
