As you know, the pocket version of the game still does not have a hardcore mode, so you have to useadd-onss. Simple Hardcore Addon is a simple hardcore mod for Minecraft Pocket/Bedrock edition that uses the new spectator game mode and GameTest Framework to find when a player dies. This mod/addon does not use player.json so it’ll work with almost every mod/addon.
Features:
There isn’t a lot to say about this mod:
“Once you die, you’re dead”
- Death Screen (you’re also in spectator mode)
- Once you die you can open up the New Spectator GUI by typing .ui into the chat
(from there you can teleport to anyone else in the world that isn’t dead)
- Custom chat effect for anyone who’s dead:
- Use /tag add rebirth to bring someone back from the dead!
- (or use /gamemode if you want)
The Resource Pack
That’s everything the resource pack does
Installation Note:
- Enable Spectator Mode and GameTest Framework or this mod will not work.
