Hardcore Alternative

A hardcore inspired alternative that deletes your inventory on death instead of deleting your world. Keep your world, lose your gear!

Death has consequences, but your world doesn't have to end!

Hardcore Alternative offers a different take on hardcore Minecraft. Instead of losing your entire world when you die, you lose the items in your inventory.

⚔️ How It Works

 

Inventory Deletion: When you die, your inventory items are deleted instead of dropping on the ground.

Keep Your World: Respawn and continue your adventure without starting a brand-new world.

Vanilla-Friendly: Respects the vanilla keepInventory gamerule. When keepInventory is enabled, your inventory is preserved as normal.

Simple & Lightweight: No complicated mechanics or extra features just a straightforward alternative to traditional hardcore punishment.

 

💀 A New Kind of Challenge

Whether you're exploring dangerous caves, fighting powerful mobs, or venturing into the Nether, every death has a cost. Your world survives, but your hard-earned gear doesn't.

Hardcore Alternative — Lose your loot, not your world! Simply create a world on easy, normal, or hard mode. Does not affect hardcore rules.
