Commands & Permissions
All commands are handled by the plugin. No complex permission plugins are strictly necessary if you are an OP, but permissions are listed below for server admins.
| Command | Permission | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | /hcreset | `hardcoreruns.admin` | Toggles the game mode between /hcreset (Shared Lives) and /hcreset (Last Man Standing). | | /hcreset | *(None)* | Toggles the HUD (Scoreboard & Timer) on or off for the player who runs it. Useful for taking screenshots. | | /hcreset | `hardcoreruns.admin` | Resets the global "Resets" and "Wins" counters on the scoreboard back to 0. |

Configuration
The plugin creates a `config.yml` automatically. You generally do not need to edit this manually, as the plugin saves your stats (Win/Reset counts) and settings (Game Mode) automatically when the server stops.
```yaml resetCount: 12 # Automatically tracks how many times you died winCount: 2 # Automatically tracks how many times you beat the dragon linkedDeath: true # Tracks your current game mode ```
