Hardcore Revive Reloaded has been discontinued and will no longer receive updates. Please use Hardcore Revive+ instead.
Overview
Do not activate Hardcore mode with this pack enabled! It will not work!
This is a continuation of the Hardcore Revive+ project that aims to reduce the challenge of hardcore multiplayer by giving each player three lives.
Once a player loses all three of their lives, they become a ghost. Ghosts can be revived when another player throws a Soul Charm at them. Until then, your ghost is able to move freely around the world in spectator mode.
Soul Charm Recipe
Players can also regain their lost lives by crafting Life Jam. Drinking this item restores one life to the player, with a maximum of 4 lives. Players with 4 lives receive two extra hearts, totaling to 12.
Life Jam Recipe
As of Version 1.5, there are two craftable potions, called Bedrock Essence and Axolotl's Blessing. Bedrock Essence grants the player Resistance I until death, while Axolotl's Blessing grants Regeneration I until death. These effects cannot be used at the same time.
