Rubbercore
A Mix of Hardcore and Normal Survival
Rubbercore
Rubbercore
Rubbercore mixes Hardcore tension with normal survival gameplay.
Players are not banned on death. Instead, every death removes 1 max heart, making survival matter without locking anyone out of the server. Lost hearts can be recovered with craftable Heart Crystals, and players can even turn one of their own hearts into a tradable crystal with `/heart`.
This creates real risk, recovery, and player-driven trading without turning your SMP into full Hardcore.
Features
- Players start with Heart Crystals - Each death removes Heart Crystals - Minimum health is Heart Crystals - Heart Crystals restore lost hearts - `/heart` lets players remove one of their own hearts and receive a Heart Crystal item - Heart Crystals can be kept, traded, or dropped for other players
