Ultra Hardcore

Ultra Hardcore (UHC) is a custom gamemode, similar to Hardcore, with the main difference being players cannot naturally regenerate health. UHC is most commonly used as a mini game on PvP servers.

Gameplay
In Ultra Hardcore, players cannot regenerate health from food and must use potions, suspicious stews or golden apples to regain lost health. While a UHC play through could theoretically last indefinitely, the primary goal is to defeat the ender dragon, or defeat all of the other players in the case of a PvP competition. Like regular Hardcore, players cannot respawn if they die. Ultra Hardcore may be played either individually or in teams of a set number.

Oftentimes, game settings may be altered to add gameplay "handicaps," such as muting hostile mob sounds and/or setting render distance and brightness to their minimum. In addition, sometimes server owners add specials rules (e.g. random loot tables). This is called a "Custom UHC"

There are a few ways to set up UHC:


 * When a hardcore world is loaded with cheats enabled, the command is entered.
 * Setting the "Regenerate health" status to "false" in the "Game Rules" option from the world creation menu.

History
