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, andadvancements) 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
A player takes fatal damage and dies.
The mod triggers a server-wide broadcast announcing the death.
Players are safely disconnected while the server frees file locks.
The old world files are completely deleted.
On rejoin, a fresh world with a brand-new seed is waiting for you!
