I have taken the liberty of bringing back one of the older versions of the article as it was more reasonable. It would like to suggest, rather than sumbiting your own opinion straight to the article, we should use the discussion page, well... to discuss. It would allow to avoid all these inevitable edit wars. I would like to ask you for common sense and a bit of strategic thinking. Here is why I think the current version is better than the other one: Jakub6906 19:36, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) There is no point in building a shack. After all, this is Hardcore.
 * 2) You don't need to store items. If you die, it's end.
 * 3) You don't need to set your spawn point. If you die, it's end.
 * 4) You don't need long-term safe haven, because you're not going to be happily playing the game. This is Hardcore.
 * 5) Coal isn't nearly as necessary as author says. You won't need any torches outside of your first and last cave or to smelt several pieces of iron and cook a bit of food.
 * 6) Iron isn't nearly as necassary as author says. I used only 36 ingots, prior to killing Ender Dragon.


 * The point is not only to beat the enderdragon. but to survive as long as possible. But I do agree that there is definitely some middle ground, and that the original is a bit excessive :) --5pr46u3 10:16, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Major edits invited, huh? I've edited the hardcore start to include the slower, but more reliable, wheat farm method.

I've also removed some of the...excessive...references to Notch.

made a few minor edits to the ground rules section, including "NEVER MINE STRAIGHT DOWN" x2.
