About Hardcore Servers

Hardcore servers make survival more demanding by increasing the consequences of death. The exact rules vary, with some servers using permanent death and others applying temporary bans, limited lives or other penalties.

What are Minecraft Hardcore servers?

Minecraft Hardcore servers build on survival gameplay by making death significantly more important. Players still gather resources, explore and build, but mistakes can have lasting consequences. Multiplayer Hardcore servers may use permanent death, limited lives, temporary lockouts or custom systems to create their own level of difficulty.

How to choose a Hardcore server

Check exactly what happens when a player dies, as Hardcore rules can differ considerably between servers. Also compare difficulty, PvP rules, world resets and any additional survival features before choosing a community.
