Beter Ultra Hardcore Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to enable hardcore mode to use this mod?
No, the mod works on regular survival worlds without needing hardcore mode enabled. You'll get the ten lives system automatically when you create a new world or join a server running the mod.
What happens when I die?
You lose one life and one heart container is permanently removed from your maximum health bar. You respawn at your spawn point, but your health cap stays reduced until you eat an Enchanted Golden Apple to restore it.
Can I get my hearts back?
Yes, eating an Enchanted Golden Apple restores one lost heart container and one life point. You'll need to find these apples in loot chests throughout your world or obtain them through other means.
What happens when I run out of lives?
Once you reach zero lives, you are permanently eliminated from the world with no way to revive. This is the end state of your playthrough.
How do I know how many lives I have left?
Your remaining lives are displayed as heart containers on your health bar. Each container represents one life, so counting your hearts tells you exactly how many lives remain.
Does this mod work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, the mod works on multiplayer servers without requiring any special world settings. Each player tracks their own ten lives independently.
Can I play with reduced hearts for the entire game?
Yes, if you choose not to seek out Enchanted Golden Apples, you can continue playing with fewer heart containers, making the game progressively harder as you take more deaths.
Do I start with ten hearts every time I create a new world?
Yes, every new world or fresh join to a server starts you with a full set of ten heart containers and ten lives.
What's the best strategy for managing my lives early on?
Focus on gathering resources and building a secure base before taking unnecessary risks, since early deaths are costly when you have limited experience with the world. Prioritize finding Enchanted Golden Apples to have a safety net for later exploration.
Does this mod affect mob difficulty or damage?
The mod only changes your life and health system; mob behavior and damage remain the same as vanilla Minecraft. The challenge comes from managing your limited health pool rather than stronger enemies.
