I am thinking of starting a hardcore world after my boyfriend told me about how he has a world he started since 2017. I’m just not sure if I want to play vanilla or a mod pack.

Personally, I never do it. I like to invest quite a bit into a world. The idea of having that being taken away because I do something silly feels awful.

To each their own of course. I can imagine it gives it that more of a thrill.

Could be a good idea for you to determine why you would want a hardcore world and what you'd feel if that ends.

Yeah, I was thinking of what might happen if I spend too much time and I end up dying to a glitch lol.

Its not that likely if you're not on bedrock! 😅 I still don't know how they're trying to implement hardcore there...

[–] Emma@lemmings.world 2 points 6 months ago

Bedrock has always been slow in my experience. It’s not as fast as Java. But there also that slight chance of me dying to a glitch on bedrock then it is in Java lol. That I can agree more 😂

To add to this: Yes, it does feel absolutely awful to lose the world when you die in hardcore.

However, I also find the investment into the admittedly temporary and fragile world to be really rewarding. Doing things has a greater feeling of accomplishment, even if they're the mundane actions of just staying alive in survival.

Still reeed pretty hard when on my longest-running hardcore I died to piglins while bed-mining because I forgot to bring a backup gold helmet.

If you're good at the game, go for it, try it!

If not, well, also try it, but it might not last long ahah

I would say vanilla is the way to go. It might be worth doing if you want a real challenge and have experience playing.

I prefer creating stuff and living on the edge versus surviving alone so it's not for me.
