Coolest Hardcore
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.19–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Let's be honest! The hardcore game is boring and uninteresting, so I decided to diversify this game with small changes. I call it - true hardcore mode for the game!
- After create world, mod already sets the right settings (GameMod - Survive, Difficulty - Hard). It doesn't matter what settings you set when you created
- Remove command which change the game mode and difficulty
- Damage to the undead will only occur if your sword is enchanted with Smite.
- Damage to Spider, Silverfish, Endermite will only occur if your sword is enchanted with Bane of Arthropods.
- You will take damage every 5 seconds, health will drop to 2 hearts (this world is rotten and there is nothing left but suffering)
Under such conditions, you have to survive. The mod also does not add its own items and blocks, except for one sound, which many who have played Doom 3 in hardcore mode! Its mod also works very well with other mods =)
I hope you enjoy it!
