Hardcore mode

Hardcore mode is an option available at player creation that gives your character a much greater penalty when dying: if your character dies, your character will be deleted. In 1.0.5, your character would drop his entire inventory including all accessories, armor, and vanity items and your health and mana are reset to character creation values bringing you back to 100 health and 0 mana. Hardcore characters have everything else the same, including travel in multiplayer servers.

Hardcore mode is enabled on a per character basis only, therefore you can have both Hardcore and normal characters on the same server.

When a Hardcore character dies, a gravestone is dropped where the character died. It is inscribed with how the character met his/her demise. Being affected by physics it is possible for the gravestone to "roll" after character death if the character is moving or is on a slope. If the gravestone hits a hostile mob while rolling it will do 99 damage to each enemy it hits, flat out killing most enemies and doing a massive chunk to any that survive. When a Hardcore mode character dies, they now spawn as a ghost, unable to interact with the world until the go back to the main menu. The character will then be deleted for good.
