Hardcoremode

A hardcore mode button posted on twitter by Notch[1]

Hardcore mode is a new game mode that is tied to the eponymous difficulty and set to be released in a update 1.9. The mode will be set from the world generation page. Once you generate a world with hard-core mode, you can't go back. Hardcore mode has been implemented into the 1.9 pre-release 2

When the player dies, hardcore mode only offers a button to delete the world save instead of survival mode’s respawn button. The world save still exists until the button is pressed. While starting a hardcore world, the game is set to “hardcore” difficulty, which only differs from “hard” difficulty in the fact that it cannot be changed to another difficulty while playing the world.[2] Also, if the gamemode is set on hardcore, the picture of the hearts of the life gauge change.

The idea came to Notch from a Minecraft gameplay blog on the PCGamer site.[3]
