Minecraft Hardcore Servers

Hardcore servers are a specific gamemode of Minecraft based on standard hardcore mode where if you die you are banned from the server, usually temporarily. Every hardcore server is different, with some banning players for only a couple hours while others ban for weeks or even permanently. Most hardcore servers run on hard difficulty so the mobs deal more damage, you lose hunger quicker, and dying becomes much easier. For these servers PvP is almost always enabled along with base raiding/griefing which is why some players end up playing solo or hide far away from the spawn. If you want a similar high risk style without the deathban, anarchy servers may be a better fit.
