Hardcore Spawn

**Hardcore Spawn reworks Minecraft’s death and world-spawn systems into a progression-based survival loop inspired by Better Than Wolves.** **Death is no longer a reset point — it’s a displacement mechanic. The world pushes back, and survival depends on preparation, navigation, and infrastructure.** --- ## ☠️ Core Gameplay Changes **🌍 Hardcore Respawn System** + Death no longer returns you to a fixed spawn point + You respawn in a **random location around world spawn** + The respawn radius **expands as you progress** **📉 Death Stacking Penalty** + Repeated deaths within a short time lock you into a similar region + Rapid respawns reduce your **health and hunger** **🧭 World Center Anchor** + Respawns are based on the **world spawn origin (compass point)** + Navigation matters — no fixed return point --- ## 📏 Progression-Based Respawn Ranges **🌱 Base Mechanics** + Minimum respawn radius: **1000 blocks** + Maximum radius scales with progression: | Progression Stage | Maximum Respawn Radius | |------------------|------------------------| | Pre-Nether | 2000 blocks | | Post-Nether | 3000 blocks | | Post-Wither | 4000 blocks | | Post-End | 5000 blocks | **🌎 World Type Scaling** + Large Biomes worlds multiply all respawn ranges by **4×** --- ## 🛡️ Survival Mitigation Systems **⛩️ Spawn Binding** + Only a tier 4 Netherite beacon allows players to bind their respawn location + If you die within range, you respawn at the bound structure --- ## 🧩 Design Philosophy + Death is a spatial consequence, not a checkpoint reset + Infrastructure matters more than raw survival skill --- ## 🙏 Acknowledgment: This mod is a substantial adaptation and ports features from the original Better Than Wolves, created by FlowerChild and currently maintained by the CE Team. Learn more about the original mod (https://btwce.com/). --- ## Upcoming Updates: + Different tier netherite beacons will set spawn mechanics differently (not only tier 4) + Expanded spawn anchor types + Configurable biome-based spawn modifiers **🤝 Multiplayer Recovery Mechanics** + Early progression enables shared death assistance windows + Players can assist recent deaths within a limited time window + Late-game removes most cooperative safety nets **💻 Configuration & Integration** + Config options for: - Respawn radius scaling - Recent death penalty thresholds - Spawn binding mechanics - Multiplayer assist windows
