ExtremeCore - The Ultimate Minecraft Hardcore Experience

Tired of the usual Hardcore?

ExtremeCore gives you a chance to experience true difficulty and feel what it's like to be completely helpless. This mod completely overhauls survival, turning the familiar world into a hyper-aggressive environment where every single mechanic works against you.

Core Features & Brutal Changes:

  • You begin your journey with only 3 hearts and 5 hunger points. To make things even more stressful, your hunger bar is completely invisible, and natural health regeneration is disabled (hearts can only be restored using potions or golden apples).
  • Zombies have learned to break blocks if they know you are hiding behind them, and they apply "Slowness II" when standing near you.
  • Skeletons now have +200% HP, an increased follow range, and apply "Weakness I".
  • Endermen get angry even if you just look near them, paralyzing you for a short time if they catch your gaze.
  • Creepers are always charged. Drowned have a 100% chance to spawn with a trident. Bats have become untouchable killing machines dealing 1 HP of damage, and even dolphins have turned hostile.
  • Mobs completely ignore boats and minecarts.

World & Resource Scarcity:

  • Days are now three times shorter. Your underwater air bubbles are reduced to just 5.
  • Ghast fireballs can no longer be deflected.
  • Iron Golems no longer drop iron, Villagers refuse to trade, and chests inside structures are either entirely empty or completely stripped of useful loot.

Dimensions Reimagined:

  • Piglins will no longer spare you just because you're wearing gold. If you try to barter or offer it to them, they will simply ignore you and continue the hunt.
  • As for The End... Don't worry about it.

Important Information:

Make sure to enable vanilla Hardcore mode, otherwise the mod's features won't trigger.
