Like Hardcore
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
Like Hardcore gives survival a deadly system: every third death permanently steals one heart, and hitting zero locks you in spectator until you earn life…
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.
Core Features
- Hearts are a resource: start with 10 full hearts (configurable).
- Three strikes, one gone: every 3 deaths (tunable) you permanently lose 1 full heart (2 HP).
- Zero hearts = zero agency: reach 0 hearts and you’re locked in spectator until an operator intervenes.
- Seamless multiplayer: lives are player-bound, synced instantly, no GUI clutter, no client mod required.
- Bullet-proof edge-cases: creative & spectator players are ignored;
- Commands: you can set and reset healts by the like_hardcore command.
- 100 % configurable: everything is configurable in
likehardcore-server.toml.
