About this project

What does Soft Hardcore add?

Hardcore mode too hardcore? Survival too easy? Then try out this mod!

With Soft Hardcore enabled, you lose one heart of your max health on death. Once you lost all your hearts, you can no longer interact with your world except for flying around and opening doors etc. If you want something less permanent, you can enable a sickness mode instead, which will just respawn you with some nasty debuffs. To regain your health, you have to craft a Heart of Regeneration and infuse it three times with 10 XP levels. Additionally, this mod tweaks the strength of mobs.

The mod features a config file with a lot of difficulty options. You can modify every core mechanic of this mod to fit your personal preference.

For in-depth information about the mod check out the page "Documentation".

Features

  • Death reduces your maximum health by one heart.
  • To regain lost health craft a Heart of Regeneration using expensive items and XP.
  • Strong mobs have a chance to stun you for a short time.
  • Every creature does extra damage.
  • Highly customizable to fit your needs!
