About this project
What does Coolest Hardcore add?
Let's be honest! The hardcore game is boring and uninteresting, so I decided to diversify this game with small changes. I call it - true hardcore mode for the game!
After create world, mod already sets the right settings (GameMod - Survive, Difficulty - Hard). It doesn't matter what settings you set when you created
Remove command which change the game mode and difficulty
Damage to the undead will only occur if your sword is enchanted with Smite.
Damage to Spider, Silverfish, Endermite will only occur if your sword is enchanted with Bane of Arthropods.
You will take damage every 5 seconds, health will drop to 2 hearts
this world is rotten and there is nothing left but suffering.." - Obito Uchiha
Under such conditions, you have to survive. The mod also does not add its own items and blocks, except for one sound, which many who have played Doom 3 in hardcore mode! Its mod also works very well with other mods =)
I hope you enjoy it!
