Per-Player Hardcore Mode

Per Player Hardcore

A lightweight server-side only Fabric mod for Minecraft that lets you put specific players into a hardcore-like mode.

• Server-side only
• Compatible with other death/respawn mods
• Data is stored per-player survives restarts

Features

• Track individual players with a limited number of lives
• On final death:
  • spectator mode: force the player into Spectator (near their last location / hardcore spawn)
  • worldspawn mode: clear personal spawnpoint and send to world spawn
• Optional custom hardcore spawn point (used when the player still has lives)
• Fully configurable messages (including translations) via config/perplayerhardcore.json

Commands

All commands require permission level 2 (gamemaster / op).

Behavior

1. When a tracked player dies:

   • Lives are decremented
   • If lives remain: message + respawn at hardcore spawn (if set) or normal vanilla spawn
   • If lives reach 0: GAME OVER! + final consequence

2. After respawn on final death:

   • Player is removed from tracking
   • Applied consequence (spectator or worldspawn)

Configuration

File: config/perplayerhardcore.json

All messages can be customized / translated. Defaults are in English. Example for French:

{
  "prefix": "[HARDCORE] ",
  "startPlayer": "Mode hardcore activé ! %d %s. %s.",
  "life": "vie",
  "lives": "vies",
  "modeSpectator": "Spectateur à la fin",
  "modeWorldspawn": "Spawn du monde à la fin",
  "gameOver": "GAME OVER !",
  "...": "..."
}

The config file is created automatically on first launch with all default English strings.
