About this Mod

🇷🇺 Русское описание

Этот хардкорный мод превращает игру в настоящее испытание на выживание. Основная механика Mediumcore навсегда отнимает здоровье за каждую смерть, вплоть до полной пермасмерти. Реализм повышен за счет системы травм (переломы, кровотечение) и штрафов за перегруженный инвентарь. Мир становится враждебнее: монстры получают новые опасные способности (зомби с динамитом, телепортирующиеся эндермены), а выживание усложняется из-за неэффективного фермерства, гаснущих факелов и медленных печей.

🇬🇧 English Description

This hardcore mod turns the game into a grueling survival challenge. The Mediumcore system permanently reduces your max health with every death, eventually leading to permadeath. Realism is heightened with mechanics for injuries (broken legs, bleeding) and inventory weight penalties. The world becomes far more hostile: mobs gain dangerous new abilities (TNT-throwing zombies, swapping endermen), while basic survival is harder due to failing crops, burning-out torches, and slower furnaces.
