Hardcore Architect is a mod that adds a more flexible hardcore mode with a configurable number of "hardcore" lives and a timer to restore them.

You need to try this mod if:

You're bored of playing normal mode, and death in Minecraft is nothing to you anymore.
You want to add risk to the game, but you are afraid to constantly die in vanilla Hardcore mode (or, conversely, you die there too often).
You play hardcore with mods like "Corail Tombstone", where death is part of the progression, and in vanilla Hardcore mode, you can only die once.

This mod contains:

Already configured modes for the finished game ("Easy", "Normal", "Hard"), as well as a fully customizable "Custom" mode right in the world creation menu. If out-of-the-box settings are not enough, you can add countless of your own modes to the config, and new modes will automatically appear in the selection list (this is especially useful for creators of builds with mods).
A simple interface that does not interfere with the main game, showing your "hardcore" lives, which can be conveniently moved using the mod configuration.
A separate achievement system.
Optimized code for minimal load on the server and client.

Also, this mod has its own command "/hardcore_architect stats" – it allows the player to view his current statistics on this mod at any time and not only:

Game mode with the maximum number of lives and recovery time.
The current and maximum number of lives, as well as the remaining recovery timer
Full statistics: the days survived, the total number of deaths, the minimum number of lives before hardcore death, and the time since the last death.
