Ultra Hardcore

Ultra Hardcore (UHC) is a custom gamemode, similar to Hardcore, with the main difference being players cannot naturally regenerate health.

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

Additional handicaps may be added through game settings such as zero in-game brightness and zero sound. It makes it difficult to spot mobs at low light levels and deaf to approaching mobs. In addition, sometimes server owners add specials rules (e.g. random loot tables). This is called a "Custom UHC"

In order to setup UHC, the command is used to prevent the natural regeneration of health.

History
Ultra Hardcore was started by members of the MindCrack SMP server on February 23, 2012, and has been played by Dinnerbone. Prior to the addition of, a mod was used to remove regeneration.
