We are thrilled to announce the official launch of the New Horizons Hardcore server, the most intense and unforgiving addition to our growing network. For those seeking the ultimate challenge, our Hardcore server offers a pure survival experience where death means the end of your journey.

What Makes Our Hardcore Mode Special?

True Permadeath: In the tradition of Minecraft Hardcore mode, death is permanent. Once you die, you're out – no respawns, no second chances. Your world, your builds, your progress – all gone in an instant.

Custom Difficulty Tweaks: We've enhanced the vanilla Hardcore experience with custom modifications that make survival even more challenging. Expect tougher mobs, reduced natural health regeneration, and environmental hazards that will test even the most seasoned Minecraft veterans.

Season-Based Gameplay: Our Hardcore server runs in seasons, each lasting approximately 30 days. At the end of each season, the top survivors will be immortalized on our Hall of Fame and receive special rewards on our other servers.

Limited Resources: Resources are scarcer than in standard survival. Strategic resource management and careful planning are essential for long-term survival.

No Teleportation: Travel is dangerous and time-consuming with no teleport commands. Every expedition puts your life at risk, making base location and exploration strategies critically important.

Death Spectator Mode: After death, players can enter spectator mode to observe the remaining survivors – learn from their strategies or just enjoy watching the continued struggle for survival.
