Without Damage Challenge
Hardcore too easy? Try beating it with half a heart, no totems, no armor, and no protective effects!
About this Mod
Without Damage Challenge is a mod that allows you to set strict boundaries for your playthrough with a single download, making the challenge truly fair and honest. What's the point of a half-heart Hardcore challenge if you just use a totem or strong armor to survive accidental damage? Or if you use a Fire Resistance potion to carelessly walk through fire?
NOTE: All changes apply EXCLUSIVELY to Hardcore mode. Other game modes remain completely unaffected.
Features:
- Your maximum health is strictly locked at 1 HP.
- Totems of Undying no longer drop from Evokers, and even if you somehow obtain one, it will not work.
- Any incoming damage is amplified to 10,000, meaning even the strongest armor with 99% protection won't save you.
- The effects of Resistance, Absorption, Health Boost, and Fire Resistance are removed instantly upon application.
- The "Game Mode" and "Allow Cheats" buttons in the "Open to LAN" menu are disabled to prevent unfair revives.
- A new advancement tab with two unique achievements to highlight your absolute mastery and successful playthrough.
Good luck!
