Description

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).

Command Description
/hardcore start <player> <worldspawn\|spectator> [lives] Start tracking a player (default lives = 1)
/hardcore stop <player> Stop tracking a player
/hardcore setspawn <player> <x> <y> <z> Set the custom hardcore spawn
/hardcore lives add <player> <amount> Add lives
/hardcore lives remove <player> <amount> Remove lives
/hardcore get <player> Show detailed info about a tracked player
/hardcore list List all currently tracked online players

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.
