No, it makes your world Hardmode. In hardcore mode, good things to know are:

1. Head to the Corruption, and break many demon altars, but leave one. That way you get lots of cobalt, mythril and adamantite in your world and can still use the demon altar you didn't break. The Pwnhammer is the only thing that can break them.

2. Move your house to the hallow, or make a new base there. Do this AFTER you have cobalt or mythril armor.

3. Find the way to spread the hallow. Spread it right beside the corruption on either side, but not IN the corruption. That way it cannot spread and you still have your Souls of Night and Light to summon The Twins, The Destroyer and Skeletron Prime.
