Hardcore Spawn

Hardcore Spawn reworks Minecraft’s death and world-spawn systems into a progression-based survival loop inspired by Better Than Wolves.

Death is no longer a reset point — it’s a displacement mechanic. The world pushes back, and survival depends on preparation, navigation, and infrastructure.

☠️ Core Gameplay Changes

expands as you progress + Death no longer returns you to a fixed spawn point + You respawn in a expands as you progress + The respawn radius expands as you progress

health and hunger + Repeated deaths within a short time lock you into a similar region + Rapid respawns reduce your health and hunger

world spawn origin (compass point) + Respawns are based on the world spawn origin (compass point) + Navigation matters — no fixed return point

---

📏 Progression-Based Respawn Ranges

1000 blocks + Minimum respawn radius: 1000 blocks + Maximum radius scales with progression:

| Progression Stage | Maximum Respawn Radius | |------------------|------------------------| | Pre-Nether | 2000 blocks | | Post-Nether | 3000 blocks | | Post-Wither | 4000 blocks | | Post-End | 5000 blocks |

4× + Large Biomes worlds multiply all respawn ranges by 4×

🛡️ Survival Mitigation Systems

⛩️ Spawn Binding + Only a tier 4 Netherite beacon allows players to bind their respawn location + If you die within range, you respawn at the bound structure

---

🧩 Design Philosophy

+ Death is a spatial consequence, not a checkpoint reset + Infrastructure matters more than raw survival skill
