Hardcore button

The game mode button showing hardcore.

Hardcore mode is a game mode variant of survival, differing primarily by the lack of the ability to respawn (instead, the player respawns in spectator mode) and change the difficulty.

Features

While playing hardcore mode, the game is set to “hardcore” difficulty, which only differs from “hard” difficulty in that it cannot be changed to another difficulty while playing the world and you also cannot enable cheats or bonus chests. Also in that if the player dies, the player can respawn in spectator mode or delete the world. In the world selection screen, it will say that the world is in hardcore mode in bold, red letters, as a warning.

When the player dies, the game over screen offers buttons to spectate or delete the world instead of survival mode’s Respawn and Title menu buttons. When you die, "Game over!" appears instead of "You died!". However, this player can go to LAN and turn on cheats .

Multiplayer

Hardcore mode is an option for multiplayer, and its functions are similar. Dying while in the server does not give the player an option to respawn, replaced with a button prompting the player to "Leave Server". When clicked, the player gets the message "You have died. Game over man, it's game over!". If you try to reconnect to the server, it says "You are banned from this server! Reason: Death in Hardcore".

It is possible for a server admin to allow a player to rejoin after death, but the admin will need to stop the server and edit server files: First, deleting the player data from (Map name)> players > (deadplayer).dat, then going into the banned-players.txt and erasing the relevant data under the index ( banned by | banned until | reason). The admin can then restart the server and the affected player can spawn again. However, the player will appear at the original spawn point with no items, armor, or levels (because their player data has been deleted) or a player picked affected player's items..

'''Emeralds''' are rare minerals that are used primarily as the currency for [[trading]] with [[villager]]s and [[wandering trader]]s. Naturally-occurring emeralds are rarer than [[diamond]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Trading ===
{{main|Trading}}
Emeralds can be obtained by trading with [[villager]]s, since they are the currency that villagers use for trading. Villagers either buy or sell specific goods for emeralds.

=== Mining ===
[[Emerald ore]] drops one emerald when mined using an iron or better [[pickaxe]]. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it may drop an extra emerald per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 emeralds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops itself in ore form instead of an emerald.

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
|Block of Emerald
|Output= Emerald,9
|type= Material
}}

=== Smelting ===

{{Smelting
|Emerald Ore; Deepslate Emerald Ore
|Emerald
|1
}}

=== Natural generation ===
{{see also|Emerald Ore#Natural generation}}

Emeralds can generate in [[chest]]s in some [[village]] houses or other generated [[Generated structures|structures]].

{{needs update|inaccurate=1|section=1}}
{{LootChestItem|emerald}}

=== Drops ===
[[Vindicator]]s and [[evoker]]s drop 0–1 emeralds upon death. [[Looting]] increases the maximum emerald drop by one per level, for a maximum of 4 emeralds with Looting III.

[[Fox]]es that are holding emeralds also have a chance of 100% to drop the emerald they are holding upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a food item to entice the fox to drop the emerald without killing it.

{{IN|bedrock}}, vindicators and [[pillager]]s spawned from [[raids]] can drop 0–1 emeralds. Depending on difficulty, vindicators and pillagers spawned from raids also have a chance of dropping additional emeralds. There is a 65% chance of dropping on easy and normal, and an 80% chance of dropping on hard. If this additional drop condition is met, different emerald counts can drop with different chances. There is a {{frac|10|39}} chance to drop an additional 0–1 emeralds, a {{frac|5|39}} chance to drop an additional 2–3, and a {{frac|2|39}} chance to drop an additional 4–5.

{{IN|bedrock}}, with Looting III, it is possible for a vindicator in a raid to drop up to 16 emeralds upon death (vindicator drops + raid drops + an additional drop<!-- emerald from 2/39 chance-->).

== Usage ==

=== Trading ===

{{main|Trading}}

Emeralds are primarily used as currency for [[trading]] with villagers and wandering traders. Trading is typically a faster way to obtain emeralds than by mining, as an emerald ore is rarer than a diamond ore.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

===Beacons===

Emeralds can be used to select powers from a [[beacon]]. The player must select one of the available powers and then insert an emerald into the item slot. 

An emerald can be substituted for an [[iron ingot]], a [[gold ingot]], a [[diamond]] or a [[netherite ingot]] in a beacon.

}}

Shields may also be repaired on an [[anvil]] by using [[planks]] or another shield. Shields repaired on anvils retain their pattern.

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level armorer [[villager]]s have {{frac|1|3}}{{only|Bedrock|short=1}}/{{frac|2|5}}{{only|Java|short=1}} chance of selling a shield for 5 [[emerald]]s as their sixth trade.

== Usage ==
Despite using iron in its crafting recipe, it cannot be smelted into [[iron nugget]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-111738}}</ref>

=== Defense ===
Shields are used for [[blocking]] incoming attacks. {{control|Using}}{{Only|Java|short=1}} or {{Control|sneaking}}{{Only|Bedrock|short=1}} causes a player to slow to a [[sneaking]] pace, and after {{convert|5|ticks|seconds}}<ref>{{bug|MC-100949||Shield blocking is delayed}}</ref>, attacks coming from in front of the player are blocked, dealing no damage. When the shield blocks an attack of {{hp|3}} or stronger, it takes durability damage equal to the strength of the attack rounded up.  

Most blocked projectiles that carry status effects (such as [[Shulker#Shulker bullet|shulker bullets]]{{only|java|short=1}}, flaming [[arrow]]s, or tipped arrows) do not affect the blocker. [[Trident]]s & arrows can be deflected into other targets. Knockback from melee attacks and projectiles is prevented, while knockback from [[explosion]]s, [[hoglin]], and [[ravager]] attacks are significantly reduced.

The shield directionally blocks all attacks coming from within the FOV of the direction the wielder is facing, providing a full hemisphere of coverage to them. If the wielder faces straight up, they are likely to miss their blocks.<ref>{{bug|MC-109101||Shields do not block damage while the player faces straight up}}</ref><!--straight down fix: MC-92019-->

Mobs that deal continuous contact damage such as the slime, magma cube, and blaze rapidly drain the shield's durability for as long as the shielded player remains within the mob's hitbox.<ref>{{bug|MC-169167}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-119451}}</ref>

Blockable attacks include:
*Melee attacks, except by a warden, axe-wielding mobs or by a sprinting player wielding an axe, however even without sprinting an axe still greatly decreases the durability 
** Status effects do not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*Normal, tipped, and spectral [[arrow]]s
** Arrows other than [[Piercing]] are totally deflected and can hit other targets.
** Status effects do not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
***This can be used to damage the attacker or another mob down there.
*[[Flame|Flaming arrows]]
** Burning does not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*[[Trident]]s
*[[Snowball]]s and [[egg]]s
*Spines from [[pufferfish]]
*Bullets from [[shulker]]s
** The levitation effect does not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*Spit from [[llama]]s
*[[Fireball]]s, such as from [[blaze]]s and [[fire charge]]s
** Burning does not carry through to the blocker.
*Direct hits from [[ghast]] [[fireball]]s
** These still cause environmental damage.
*All explosions{{only|JE|short=1}}
*Explosion damage from [[creeper]]s
*[[TNT]] that another player lit
*[[Ravager]] headbutts
** These still knock the blocker back by about 3 blocks.
** Blocking these strikes can stun the ravager for a moment, and it roars afterward.
*Ravager roars are blocked but still knock back the blocker.
*[[Bee]] stings are blocked, but bees continuously attack until the player stops blocking and the player is stung.
*Beam attacks from [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s (only reduces damage by 50%)

They cannot block:
*Arrows from a [[crossbow]] enchanted with [[Piercing]]
** This does not reduce the shield's durability.
*[[Status effect]]s from tipped arrows or shulker bullets {{only|bedrock|short=1}} <ref>{{bug|MCPE-52904}}</ref>
** Direct projectile damage is blocked, but the effect still carries through.
*Status effects from splash/lingering [[potion]]s, [[evoker]]s' fangs, or breath from the [[ender dragon]]
*Beam attacks from [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s, or the [[warden]]'s sonic boom attack
*TNT that the blocking player lit themselves{{only|BE|short=1}}
*TNT that a [[Redstone (disambiguation)|redstone mechanism]] lit{{only|BE|short=1}}
*[[Fall damage]], including that from [[ender pearl]]s
** This also includes when the player rides an [[entity]] that died due to fall damage.
*Strikes from a warden or any [[axe]]-wielding mob (e.g., [[vindicator]]s, [[piglin brute]]s, [[zombie]]s after disabling players shield they attack another time immediately)
** Such strikes disable being able to use shields for 5 seconds.

=== Applying patterns ===
[[File:Cyan Shield Screenshot.png|250px|thumb|A custom shield.]]
Shields can be decorated by applying a [[banner]].

}}

Unlike with [[banner]]s, shields cannot be repainted or washed in a [[cauldron]]. Shields have only half the resolution of banners, making patterns look slightly different. In the game files, the pattern textures can be found in a separate directory called entity/shield.

{{IN|java}}, shields with patterns can also be obtained using the same commands as banners, except <code>banner</code> has to be replaced with <code>shield</code>.

=== Enchantments ===
A shield can receive the following [[enchantments]], but only through an [[anvil]]:

'''Super fertilizer''' is a powerful form of [[bone meal]] that is created using [[ammonia]] and [[phosphorus]].

|<center>[[Compound|Ammonia]], [[Element|Phosphorus]]</center>
|}

== Usage ==

Super fertilizer can be used in the same way as bone meal. It produces more [[flowers]] in a larger area when used on [[grass block]]s compared to bone meal. When super fertilizer is used on a [[sapling]], a [[tree]] is instantly grown after one use, instead of multiple uses as with bone meal. Super fertilizer matures crops with a single use.

Note that super fertilizer does not instantly grow a hanging [[mangrove propagule]]. This could be a bug.

[[File:Eating Steve.png|thumb|right|150px]]
[[File:Eating Alex.png|thumb|right|150px]]
'''Food''' refers to any consumable [[item]]s that, when eaten, restore [[hunger]] points and hunger saturation points, and sometimes cause [[status effect]]s. They are essential to survival, as going without them eventually causes the player to starve, causing damage until reaching {{hp|10}} in Easy [[difficulty]], and {{hp|1}} on Normal. [[Hunger#Effects of hunger|Starvation]] damage kills the player in Hard and [[Hardcore]] Mode.

Food is eaten by holding {{control|use}} while having the food item selected in the hot bar or in the off-hand.

[[Cake]] cannot be eaten this way, and must instead be placed on a surface before being eaten.

With the exception of [[chorus fruit]], [[golden apple]]s, [[honey bottle]]s, [[milk]], and [[suspicious stew]]{{only|Java}}, food cannot be eaten when the hunger bar is completely full. In [[Creative]] Mode, any food can be consumed at any time.

All food items and ingredients can be stacked in the inventory slots, except for [[milk]], [[rabbit stew]], [[mushroom stew]], [[beetroot soup]], [[suspicious stew]], and [[cake]].{{only|Java}}

This page covers food items for players; blocks and items that can be eaten by other [[mob]]s are not included here.

== Hunger and saturation ==
{{main|Hunger#Mechanics}}
{{seealso|Tutorials/Hunger_management}}

[[File:Raw_and_Cooked_Chicken_Comparison.png|thumb|Raw (left) and cooked (right) [[chicken]]. Eating raw chicken can give the [[player]] [[food poisoning]].]]

[[Player]]s have two different food statistics, one of which is visible: The hunger level is visible, and the saturation level is not.

[[Saturation]] is the first statistic to decrease when a player performs energy-intensive actions, and it must be completely depleted before the visible hunger meter begins decreasing. Although the current saturation level is generally hidden, the player can tell that their saturation level is completely depleted if the visible hunger meter begins displaying a jittering effect.

Eating a food item replenishes a fixed number of hunger points and saturation points, based on the item. Some foods have a better ratio of saturation to hunger points replenished than others. Overeating the hunger bar does not overflow to saturation.

A player's current saturation level can never exceed their current hunger level. A player at a hunger level of 5, for example, can be at a maximum of 5 saturation. Food always restores hunger (raising the saturation limit) ''before'' supplying saturation. The most efficient use of food is to eat low-saturation food to fill the hunger bar, followed by high-saturation food to fill saturation.  While a few hunger points may be wasted when eating nourishing food when nearly full, eating nourishing foods on a low hunger bar wastes even more points of saturation.  Maximizing saturation increases the length of time (and/or the amount of damage healed) before the player needs to eat again.

=== Usage ===

Most foods can be eaten by holding down the right-click button with a food item in hand. It takes 1.61 seconds to eat most foods; dried kelp takes 0.865 seconds to eat. Additionally, a player can hold food in their [[offhand]] {{in|Java}}.

While eating, food [[particles]] form from the player's mouth correlated with their respective food item, and produces a munching noise. Eating also slows the user significantly.

Unlike other foods, [[cake]] has to be eaten by placing it, then right-clicking on its block form. Eating cake is instant and it has 7 edible slices, each giving {{hunger|2}} hunger and 0.4 hunger [[saturation]].

=== Nourishment value ===

Nourishment is defined as the ratio of saturation to hunger points restored. Foods with higher nourishment values should be eaten when the hunger bar is more full.

The "nourishment" table below can help by categorizing foods by their saturation-to-hunger restoration ratios. See the more detailed [[#Foods|Foods]] table for the exact hunger and saturation statistics of each food.

15w37aRather than deleting the world upon death, the player will be put into spectator mode.
New chunks will not generate in Spectator mode once the player dies, by default. It can be changed by editing the gamerule spectatorsGenerateChunks.

Issues

Issues relating to "Hardcore" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

  • When a world in hardcore mode is played on a version before its release, the world is permanently converted into a standard survival world. But this player can turn on LAN cheats and make other default gamemode.
  • The idea of Hardcore mode came to Notch from a Minecraft gameplay blog on the PC Gamer site.[2]
  • When Notch announced hardcore mode on Twitter, he jokingly posted an image of an "Ultra Hardcore" mode where the premium status of the player's user account is revoked on death.[3]
  • It is actually possible to respawn in hardcore mode, via defeating the Ender Dragon and activating the credits, after which you will promptly respawn without death. (because you not die) .
    • Another way to respawn in the same world, but in survival is to respawn in spectator mode, go to the pause menu, press "Open to LAN," turn on cheats, then type "/gamemode 0." This also works with "/gamemode 1," but it's creative mode instead. See gamemodes for more.
  • Many Minecraft enthusiasts played hardcore mode before the official version was released. It was simply on the honor system to delete your world if you died. This was often called an "Ironman" game.
  • Via hacking or commands, it is possible to play a cross between hardcore and creative mode. The player can fly and place infinite blocks like in creative mode, but the world will be put in spectator mode upon death. This is because hardcore is not technically a game mode and is actually a separate variable in the level.dat.
    • Unlike game modes, Hardcore is not player-specific. This means you can't have a multiplayer server where some players are hardcore and some are not.
    • A simple way to access creative mode while in hardcore mode is to go to the pause screen and select "Open to LAN", and click "Enable Cheats". Then use any command you wish. (exception /publish)
    • Another way to enable cheats is to use a map editor like MCEdit to add in a command block with a command in it. Command blocks can still run commands normally even if the player can't, but you need redstone to activate them.
  • The hardcore hearts differs from the normal survival hearts (see gallery) - the hardcore heart has "angry eyebrows" while the normal survival heart doesn't.
