Hardcore Mode Lite (3 Lives)
A simple, yet challenging hardcore experience for Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
Tired of endless lives? Craving a true challenge? Hardcore Mode Lite brings a classic hardcore-style survival experience to Minecraft Bedrock. This lightweight and command-free add-on is perfect for players who want a real test of their survival skills.
Key Features:
* Limited Lives: You start with only 3 lives.
* Action Bar Display: A clear and non-intrusive action bar shows your remaining lives at all times.
* Game Over: When you run out of lives, you are automatically switched to Spectator mode. The world becomes locked, and you can no longer interact with it.
* Seamless Integration: This add-on works without any player commands. It automatically manages your lives and game mode.
* No Cheating: The mod ensures that players are always in Survival mode and sets the world difficulty to Hard upon joining.
* World Lock: If all players in the world lose their lives, the world becomes permanently locked in Spectator mode, marking the ultimate game over.
How It Works:
The mod uses a simple scripting system to track each player's lives. Every time a player dies, their life counter is reduced by one. When a player's lives reach zero, they are put into Spectator mode, and the game is over for them. The mod also checks if everyone has lost their lives, and if so, locks the entire world for all players.
Installation:
* Download the .mcpack file.
* Open the file to automatically import the behavior pack into your Minecraft world.
* When creating a new world or editing an existing one, enable the Hardcore Mode Lite behavior pack.
* Make sure the following experimental gameplay toggles are enabled:
* Beta APIs
* Gametest Framework
Enjoy the challenge, and good luck!
