SuperHardcore changes vanilla Minecraft to feel like true modern hardcore survival should feel: hazardous and very tense
You start with only 4 hearts, visually see full hearts and mobs hit much harder. Players deal less damage. And some mobs got upgrades.
Important Information
This plugin is experimental and may be tweaked to balance the modifications to feel more "vanilla"
