❤️ Hardcore Revive+ System
Hardcore Revive+ adds a structured revive system to Hardcore gameplay.
Death remains meaningful, but recovery is intentional, costly, and fully survival-focused.
⚠️ Important:
Players are strongly advised to carefully read the Modrinth page of this modpack, as the revive system has specific rules, limitations, and configuration details.
👻 Ghost State
- When a player loses all lives, they become a ghost
- Ghosts are spectators and cannot continue normal survival
- Players remain part of the world until revived
💎 Soul Charm (Revive Item)
- Craft a Soul Charm
- Drop it on the ground
- When a ghost touches it, the player is revived
- Revival grants a set number of lives
🍯 Life Jam (Regain Lives)
- Craft Life Jam to restore lost lives
- Consuming Life Jam restores lives up to the configured maximum
- Encourages careful recovery instead of reckless play
⚠️ Hardcore Focus Disclaimer
This modpack is designed for Hardcore gameplay.
While playable in non-hardcore mode, balance and progression are tuned around high-risk survival where mistakes have lasting consequences.
⭐ Summary
