Hardcore With 3 Lives
You probably already know Minecraft's Hardcore mode, where a single death means the end of your world. However, this addon introduces a different challenge: you get 3 lives to try and survive.
When you enter the world, three special hearts appear in the center of your hotbar, showing how many lives you have left. Every time you die, you lose one of these lives. Once all lives are gone, your world becomes unplayable, just like true Hardcore mode.
This mechanic makes the experience more balanced and dynamic, giving you a few extra chances without removing the original challenge of Hardcore.

This is an original add-on developed by me and used regularly in my Minecraft videos on YouTube. To see all the features in action, watch the video below. In it, you can follow complete series and survival challenges using this add-on exactly as it was designed to be played.

That's it! Your 3 lives will be activated automatically, and the special hearts will always display how many chances you have left to survive.
