Hardcore Death Penalty & Spectator Limbo

☠️ Hardcore Death Penalty & Spectator Limbo [Bedrock Edition]

Bring an authentic Hardcore experience to your standard Survival realms and servers without the frustration of permanent world deletion. This addon completely overhauls death mechanics by placing players into an escalating Spectator Limbo, paired with a complete Hardcore UI transformation.

⚡ Key Features

1. Escalating Spectator Limbo (2n² Formula)

When you die, you aren't deleted—you are forced into Spectator mode to observe your world and teammates while serving your sentence.

• The Penalty: Wait times follow a 2 * n² minute formula (where n is your death count), strictly capped at 12 hours (720 minutes).
• Offline Tracking: Timers track real-world clock time. Your sentence continues counting down even if you disconnect from the server.

Death (n)	Wait Time	Time (HH:MM:SS)
1	2 min	02:00
2	8 min	08:00
3	18 min	18:00
4	32 min	32:00
5	50 min	50:00
6	72 min	01:12:00
10	200 min	03:20:00
15	450 min	07:30:00
19+	720 min (capped)	12:00:00

2. 24-Hour Repeating Reset Cycle

Your death count doesn't stack forever. Every 24 hours (anchored to your exact first join time), your death count resets back to 0. The system steps forward in exact 24-hour increments to prevent clock drift.

3. Safe Release & Spawn Handling

When your limbo sentence ends, you are safely transitioned back to Survival mode.

• You are teleported directly to your bed or respawn anchor (or default world spawn if none is set).
• You receive 10 seconds of Invulnerability (Resistance V) and Regeneration to prevent instant spawn-killing by mobs.

4. Hardcore Visuals & HUD (Resource Pack)

• Authentic Hardcore Hearts: Survival hearts are replaced with Hardcore designs (angry eyes, dark borders, cracked glints, and custom states for poison, wither, and absorption).
• On-Screen Countdown: A live Action Bar displays broken hearts and your exact time remaining in limbo.
• Hardcore Screen Badge: A persistent [☠ HARDCORE] indicator is integrated directly into your UI.
• Custom Death Screen: The vanilla "You Died" screen is overridden with an "ENTERING SPECTATOR LIMBO" notice.
