Welcome to HardcoreSMP — The Original Death-Ban Server!
Founded in 2011, HardcoreSMP is where legends are forged and the weak are weeded out. This isn’t your average Minecraft server; it's the ultimate test of skill, wits, and endurance. With PvP and griefing fully allowed, the stakes are as high as they get. The server is locked to the hardest difficulty, and once you die, you're out — until Friday midnight UTC, when the fallen are given a second chance.
Can you thrive in a world where danger lurks at every corner?
🔸 True Hardcore Experience: Start with nothing and prove your mettle in a relentless, unforgiving environment.
🔸 Team Up to Survive: In this brutal world, forming alliances with other players can be your greatest asset. Team up to gather resources, defend against enemies, and tackle challenges together. Remember, there’s strength in numbers!
🔸 PvP & Griefing: Anything goes in this no-holds-barred server. Forge alliances, betray your friends, and outwit your enemies. (NOTE: No cheats/hacks. This is not an Anarchy server.)
🔸 Survival at its Peak: Hunger, hostile mobs, and ruthless players are just a few of the challenges you’ll face. Every step could be your last.
🔸 Death-Ban Mechanics: You only get one life. Make it count! Dead players resurrect every Friday at midnight UTC, so plan your comeback carefully.
🔸 Additional Worlds:
- Graveyard Server: While death-banned, you’re not completely out of the game. Enter our isolated Graveyard server, featuring unique terrain and limitations designed to challenge and entertain you while you await your return to the main world.
🔸 Custom Website: Track your progress and see how you stack up against other players. Our Stats Page features leaderboards for various gameplay metrics and awards to celebrate your achievements. Our Deaths Page reveals how other players have died, and whether there were any witnesses.
Join the hardcore community today and prove you’re the best — if you dare.
