Another Hardcore Mod

Turn your Forge server into a true hardcore experience without forcing one-life-only gameplay.

This mod introduces a heart-based life system: every player has a limited number of hearts. If you lose all of them, you’re permanently removed from the world via a custom hardcore ban system until an admin decides otherwise.

Perfect for hardcore SMPs, PvP survival servers, and high-stakes factions-style gameplay where every fight matters.

Heart-Based Lives:

• Every player has a set amount of hearts representing their “lives”.
• Each death reduces your remaining hearts.
• When a player reaches 0 hearts, they are hardcore-banned automatically.

Killer Steals a Heart:

• If a player kills another player, the killer steals 1 heart.
• This creates a dynamic system where strong players grow stronger — and risky fights can end careers.

Custom Hardcore Ban System:

• Players who hit 0 hearts are banned through the mod’s own system (separate from vanilla’s typical hardcore mechanics).
• The ban is designed specifically for this mod’s progression and admin tools.

Admin Commands:
