About this project

What does Universal Hardcore add?

💀 Universal Hardcore

Think Hardcore mode is tough? Try playing it with friends where ONE mistake ruins everything.

Universal Hardcore is a lightweight Fabric mod designed to turn Minecraft into the ultimate high-stakes survival challenge. The moment ANY player dies on the server or singleplayer world, the current world is permanently wiped, and everyone is placed into a brand-new, freshly generated world.

📦 Features

  • ☠️ Instant World Wipe: The moment a player dies, the world directory (region, playerdata, stats, and advancements) is wiped clean.
  • 🌐 Universal Consequences: Built specifically for SMPs and multiplayer survival challenges—everyone shares the responsibility to stay alive.
  • ⚙️ Seamless Re-generation: Safely handles file locks to ensure worlds reset cleanly without crashing or getting stuck on save screens.
  • 🧩 Vanilla Friendly: Designed to run purely on the server/host side—no client-side mod installation required for server players.

🎮 How It Works

  1. A player takes fatal damage and dies.

  2. The mod triggers a server-wide broadcast announcing the death.

  3. Players are safely disconnected while the server frees file locks.

  4. The old world files are completely deleted.

  5. On rejoin, a fresh world with a brand-new seed is waiting for you!

🔧 Requirements & Compatibility

  • Loader: Fabric
  • Required Mod: Fabric API
  • Target Version: Minecraft 26.2 (Java 25+) For now...
  • Environment: Works in both Singleplayer and Dedicated Servers.
  • Server: You can just install this on a server and works for all.

🚨 Warning

DISCLAIMER: This mod PERMANENTLY DELETES world save folders upon player death. Do not install this mod on a world or server where you care about keeping your builds, items, or progress!

This is one of my first mods. Bugs can occur. Any feedback is appreciated!
