THE HARDCORE ERA BEGINS
Welcome to The Hardcore Minecraft Network — a brutal, unrelenting, multi-server survival gauntlet where the strong thrive and the weak are struck down. Whether you're a new wanderer, a returning veteran, or someone seeking the ultimate Minecraft challenge — this is your battleground.

Our initial focus is centered around the heart of it all: the Hardcore Server. Every feature, every mechanic, every heartbeat of the network is now channeling energy into a single concept: survive at all costs.

Key Features That Define Our World:

This isn't your typical SMP. This is Hardcore Minecraft — built differently.

• ️ PVP Enabled: Nowhere is safe. Watch your back, even your friends might turn.

• Factions: Team up to build, raid, conquer — or go rogue and make enemies of everyone.

• Quests: Over 15,000 immersive quests available. Progression is endless.

• Skills: Level up and unlock new abilities as you grow. Combat, mining, crafting — all matters.

• ️ Dynamic Leveled Mobs: The mobs evolve with your power — and the deeper you go, the harder they hit.

• ️ One Life System: Death is permanent — unless you’ve got a backup plan.

HARDCORE LIFE SYSTEM — A New Standard in Survival

You begin with 1 life. That's it. Die, and you’re out — unless you:

• Purchase extra lives or unbans via the Store

• Collect Life Parts (4 = 1 Life)

• Gain Life Parts by playing: +1 Life Part every 12 hours

• Be revived by another player (at the cost of one of their lives)

Once you run out of lives, you're death banned — and yes, all causes of death count. Fall damage, mobs, PVP, lava, /kill command — doesn’t matter.

Death Ban = Permanent until revived or you buy a life/unban.

When you're death banned, you’ll know it — a lightning strike marks your fall.

️ HEALTH SYSTEM — Death Wounds You

• You lose 1 heart each time you die

• Gain back 0.5 heart per hour of playtime

• Drop to a minimum of 0.5 hearts

• After a death ban, health resets to full

️ COMBAT LOGGING IS DEADLY

Logging out in combat = instant death + death ban.
Combat tag: 15 seconds.
Think you can cheat death? Think again.

DYNAMIC MOBS & BOSSES — Stay on Your Toes

Every mob dynamically scales to your strength and location:

• Mobs increase in level the further you are from spawn and based on players nearby

• Damage & HP scale with level

• No level cap — things can and WILL get insane

• Boss Mobs randomly spawn — they’re stronger, nastier, and clearly marked

Example:
Lvl 37 | Zombie | 54/110

The deeper you go, the harder it gets. Don’t treat any mob lightly — even a skeleton can be your final foe.

MINIONS — Shard-Fueled Automation

Tired of the grind? Our minions will work for you — powered by Shards, our in-game currency.

• Lumberjack, ️ Miner, Farmer, Fisher, ️ Slayer, Collector, ️ Crafter, Seller

• Work while you’re online — or offline if chunks stay loaded

• Upgradeable up to Level 10

• Tools auto-managed, chests can be linked for automation

• Great for faction bases or island setups!

You start with 1 minion slot — but future rank upgrades will expand this!

Use /shop in-game to get started!

• And more…

FIRST JOIN? HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT

• You will be RTP’d (randomly teleported) to a safe location

• That spot becomes your primary spawn

• Begin building, gathering, and surviving — your journey starts now

• If you die, you're on cooldown or death banned — unless you buy back in

THE RULES? SURVIVE — NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

There are no rules beyond common-sense exploit bans (dupes = instant ban).
No claims. No protection. Just raw survival.

All is fair in the world of Hardcore. Outsmart, outfight, outlast.
