Ultra hardcore mode
Notch recently posted an image of a 'ultra hardcore button, and although not part of minecraft, it is still notable as a joke. I believe it should be added to the page. Discuss.

 * If we added every single joke Notch makes on his twitter the wiki would be a mess. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 14:05, 23 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Understood. Rdm box 15:22, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Done. Well noticed. Rdm box 15:27, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Proof?
http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/119031614553587713 The image in the tweet above is already uploaded, but is it not confirmation that Hardcore mode will be in 1.9.2 pre-release? It is in the top left of the image... --Throex 15:17, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Glitch
...When you die in hardcore mode, your world is "deleted"... So, why is it that when I re-enter the same name and seed of my "deleted" world, it's exactly the same as when I died. I was even able to pick up my dropped items from the crater where the creeper that killed me exploded. The wheat seeds I had just planted were also still in the same stage of growth. Try it. Just remember your world name and the seed you used to create it and re-enter them after you die and your world is "deleted".

 * Woah. If that happens regularly, you could have just found a bug that nullifies the entire concept of Hardcore Mode.  :o  Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 21:29, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope, just tested it. I spelled "LOL" in wood next to the spawn and killed myself, then regened with the same seed and name.  The world was reset.  Also, when writing on a talk page about a new subject, add a new header.  --Saphireking65 21:56, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

As far as I understand, Hardcore mode is supposed to be locked in the hard setting. However, going to the main menu and choosing Peaceful mode under Options will stop aggressive mobs from spawning if a world is created at this time. I have yet to test whether this will occur if the difficulty is changed to Peaceful once the world is already created. However, I have confirmed that turning it back to non-Peaceful will cause aggressive mobs to spawn. Could someone test this out (unless this is supposed to occur, which I doubt)? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.33.42.152 (Talk . Please sign your posts with

 * I had the same thing happen to me back in the 1.7 update, although a little different considering hardcore was not around. Anyway, I had a save file go corrupt on me, I attempted to repair it, fix it, anything I could do and I couldn't. So I deleted it, then used the exact same name that I used before and when my map loaded, it was all there. Every item, chest, building, tunnel and edit I had made. The only thing missing was my inventory. I am sure if a seed was used when creating the world I would have needed the seed as well, but in my case it was not needed. So this could be a bug that has been around for a while and they have not noticed it.. --Throex 00:22, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Creepers
From what I can tell, creepers seem to be modified in hardcore mode, I have had many close encounters without dying or taking much damage from their explosion, however, they arent exactly nerfed since they seem to have double health, or just about. Is there anybody here who could test this? I'm not sure if it's just me. (also: I can't log into my account because it's case sensitive, since my username reverts back to all lowercase when I remove my cursor from its login textbox,so sorry for the anonymity.) ~Guy (with uppercase G.)


 * It seems like every aggressive mob has increased health in 1.9 pre-2 and pre-3; at least, that's just what I've noticed. Father  Toast  23:01, 7 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I see, I just realized later yesterday, however, the question about the creeper damage being nerfed; can anybody else test to see if creepers in hardcore cause little to no damage? I had 2 blow up in my face point blank, I had no armor and I took 1 and a half heart of damage from each explosion. ~Guy


 * Died twice from creeper explosion on hardcore in 1.9 pre 3. For me it still oneshot at point blanc — MiiNiPaaT 12:36, 8 October 2011 (UTC)


 * that's so weird, I guess its just me :(
 * I'll try it with another world then, see if it reverts to normal.

maybe its a bug, because I have absolutely no mods running, it's locked on hard difficulty w/ hardcore enabled. ~Guy

hardcore on SMP.
i wonder how HC mode will work on SMP, if its even there?
