Hardcore mode

Hardcore Mode is an option available at player creation that gives your character a much greater penalty when dieing; if your character dies your character drops his entire inventory including all accessories, armor, and vanity items. Hardcore characters have everything else be 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. 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. Also upon hardcore character death the player respawns at the spawn point or a Bed that the player used to change his spawn.
