PD: Hardcore

PD: Hardcore transforms your standard Minecraft server into a brutal, cinematic, and highly competitive survival experience. Designed for groups who want stakes that actually matter, this mod tracks every run, broadcasts live player stats, and completely automates the server-wipe process when the worst happens.

Features

📊 The Live Scoreboard

Keep tabs on your fellow survivors. A sleek, modern HUD overlay on the right side of your screen broadcasts the live health, hunger, and exact XYZ coordinates of everyone currently online. If a player logs off, they remain on the board—displaying their total historical death count as a permanent mark of shame (or honor).

💀 Automated World Wipes & Run Tracking

When a player dies, the run is over. The mod flags the server for an automated wipe and records the victim, the cause of death, and the total days survived. The server automatically halts after a 5-second cinematic fade-out, allowing external server scripts to instantly regenerate a fresh world for the next attempt.

🎬 Cinematic Death Events

Death isn't just a chat message. The fallen player triggers a dramatic, screen-darkening overlay complete with the Warden's heartbeat sound effect, displaying the exact run number that was just terminated and the cause of death before the server shuts down.

🪦 Dynamic Graves

Gone but not forgotten. When a new run generates, the mod seeks out the exact coordinates of the previous run's death. It snaps to the highest surface block and generates a physical grave—a cobbled deepslate wall topped with a skull and a memorial sign detailing the victim, the run number, and their ultimate demise.

🏆 Interactive TAB Leaderboard

Pressing TAB no longer just shows ping. The custom TAB menu acts as your server's central hub, displaying:

• The Current Run Number and Days Survived.
• The All-Time Server Record (Best run and days survived).
• A "Past Runs" Hall of Fame detailing the last 5 attempts, how long they lasted, and exactly who ruined them.

How to Install & Configure

1. Drop the hardcorereset-1.1.4.jar into your server and client /mods/ folders.
2. Server Owners: Because Forge does not support swapping the Overworld dimension while the server is actively running, this mod is designed to work with an auto-restart script.
3. Wrap your server startup command in a loop that deletes the world folder upon server exit.

Example Linux Server Script (run_server.sh)

#!/bin/bash

while true; do
    echo "================================================="
    echo "Starting PD: Hardcore Server..."
    echo "================================================="

    # Call Forge's official run script
    ./run.sh nogui

    echo "================================================="
    echo "Server process ended."

    # Check if the mod created the death flag
    if [ -f "wipe_pending.txt" ]; then
        # Read the run number from the file
        RUN_NUM=$(cat wipe_pending.txt)

        echo "Death detected! Backing up Run #$RUN_NUM and resetting world..."

        # Create backups directory if it doesn't exist
        mkdir -p backups

        # Generate a timestamp
        TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")

        # MOVE the world to the backups folder, including the Run Number in the name
        mv world/ "backups/world_Run_${RUN_NUM}_${TIMESTAMP}"

        # Delete the flag file so it doesn't infinitely loop
        rm wipe_pending.txt

        echo "World backed up safely. Rebooting in 5 seconds..."
        sleep 5
    else
        echo "No wipe flag detected. Assuming manual shutdown (/stop) or crash."
        echo "Exiting auto-restart loop to keep your world safe."
        break
    fi
