I think it's because no mob can actually mess with the player's ability to build in a major way. Yeah endermans can pick up some blocks but it's only limited to like grass and other non essential blocks, creepers can explode but only when in line of sight. Basically players can dig down and stay in a 1x2 hole blocked off from every way or just build yourself a quick shelter and you are 100% safe. The player's ability to create is one of if not the most broken mechanics if it comes to surviving.

The problem with minecraft hardcore mode is that minecraft is a sandbox primarily, therefore you can never make the game too hard without ruining its sandbox element

Hardcore is just hard difficulty since you can have infinite totems, Ive even thought about why they do even exist in hardcore cause they just kill the concept of having only one life in your world, but it would be TOO radical remove them from Hardcore...

I had an idea concept, that in hardcore difficulty, totems are unobtainable, and evokers actually USE them to save themselves, making them not drop these. (Also having totems as rare unobtainable item gotten via snapshot bug or something like that would've been a fun trophy in hardcore worlds hshs)

[@PhonyLyzard]

I like to think of hardcore less about being a harder difficulty, and more about having that threat of dying over your head. No matter what, one day you will die, one day your world will end, you'll make a fatal mistake and it'll all be over. And that's kinda what makes this gamemode so beautiful, the fact you know it's gonna end, but you keep going anyway, and when that moment does come, you'll be able to reminisce on everything you've accomplished, and move on to the next adventure. But I've also only played hardcore once and died to some wither skeletons so take what I have to say with a grain of salt.

I think the perfect solution is on hard difficulty is make the mobs can keep up with you even if you are sprint jumping. Or normal difficulty they can keep up with you when you are sprinting but they cannot keep up with you when you are sprint jumping.

@@sonicthehedge Well build your shelter up quickly then if you want to survive the harder difficulty. And easy mode the mobs will go at the same speed like they already do in the game now. It won't be impossible because back in the day before the game have sprinting in it mobs can go exactly the same speed like the player can. And the harder difficulties will give a nice buff to speed potions. When I am talking about Easy Mode I'm not talking about peaceful mode.

[@sonicthehedge]

@@freedompodcast4518 Sprinting was added to give the hunger bar a purpose. The problem isn't the difficulty options, it's the game's balancing. Your idea of mobs' speed makes only the first night pretty much mandatory to sleep/skip, once you get Iron tools or Enchanted Tools. The mobs are a joke, increasing their speed will only make travel through foot a pain and encourage more the use of Elytra, an already overpowered equipment. Back to my point of how unbalanced the game is, Shields are extremely overpowered for 1 iron ingot and 6 planks. Totems are also overpowered with how easy they are to get in bulk. Elytras can save you from falling high heights or the void.

[@1ordTakeo]

Remove Mending, remove Totem, always spawn skeletons as pairs. Mending gone means to repair/replace you gotta delve, which puts you more often into danger. To avoid the issue with damage sponges, make Zombies wield only shoes/helmets and weapons, making them still easily killable, but at a risk of being hurt yourself. And these are just tiny adjustments, to make it harder on you early to mid game, without the need of smarter Mobs. Making them stay in shades and caves, or attack lightsources when you are out of range could be added and cool aswell, forcing you to reapply lightsources, or find better solutions/placements/buildings for them. No more torch-spamm.

@@venomsabre2696 raids are not pointless AT ALL lol. hero of the village is one of the most powerful effects in the game and lasts for a very long time. especially with new villager nerfs, even zombifying them won't give you nearly the discounts that the buff will (it's in the experimental options). Saddles are useful, Emeralds are useful, the general EXP you get is useful, and they're overall very worth for the time invested. Maybe if the Evoker had a small chance to drop a Woodland Labyrinth Map alongside the key, that'd be make them still almost as good as they are currently.

I now play on amplified java worlds which have like 3 pieces of iron per world, and I find it more fun having to scale mountains, and explore larger caves.

My solution: keep inventory. Really. Having risk from losing your items or dying in hardcore doesn't make the game harder, it just increases the punishment for dying, meaning no one wants to play with challenges that would make the game more fun for them, but that would actually have a risk of them dying. Even when people are doing challenges in hardcore to post it on YT, they don't *actually* have much danger, because they can reduce the danger by just doing things the extremely safe/boring way. For example, if you are doing a half-heart/no armor challenge in hardcore, you are going to make sure that no mobs are going to sneak up behind you and one-shot you. You are going to play extremely passively, by blocking up paths/areas, making sure that no mobs have a chance of attacking you to get the danger level down to a more manageable level. In contrast, if you have the same half-heart/no armor challenge with keep inventory, you can play as aggressively as you want, blitz in everywhere and actually be able to play the challenge without playing so passively that the challenge's increased danger is completely nullified. Without keep inventory, you just get punished for playing the game at a difficulty level that would actually be interesting for you, where you actually have a chance of dying, and will die. I recently streamed keep inventory (I called it softcore) with no armor in the trial chambers, and had a lot of fun because it was actually somewhat challenging while I was still new. I also have a hardcore world, where I got max gear, built a few farms, then quit because it was too easy, but I didn't want to get punished for actually having some challenge. The few times I did try to challenge myself in my hardcore world for YT content (one was beating 4 bedrock Withers simultaneously before they were nerfed, on the surface, without trapping them), I had to practice in a testing world many times to be absolutely certain that I wasn't going to lose everything. In other words, I did the challenge, but wasn't *challenged*.

Hardcore mode players focus on perfecting combat and efficiency right off the start, and won't risk wasting resources on random activities for the whole run. In the late game, all essentials are taken care of, with no room for imagination, experiments and sense of adventure left. No attachment to the Sandbox part of experience were there to begin with, so there's no thrill in going on a fetch quest for the lily of the valley by other player's request. In Survival, you're become friends with Sandbox to get an advantage in the main combat event, while in Hardcore it's combat advantage for combat advantage's sake - having fun may cost player an arrow in the backside and off the cliff

Minecraft is a game where you can do whatever you want so naturally you need to be able to get extremely overpowered gear for large projects. If you want a challenge you can try to play without enchantments, totems, elytra, etc or even just simply take more risks. Because of the nature of the game, you can't block players from getting to a point where it is very easy to survive and do whatever you want so it is up to players to set their own level of challenge. Hardcore just means you can't respawn and it's not meant to make the game harder than it already is in any other aspects, because players can still set their own level of challenge.

[@amymialee]

3:51 "Difficulty" comparing mob buffs to stuff like Trading doesn't make sense, most of these "decreases" in difficulty listed don't change much about how hard the game is, only how much grinding is needed to get good equipment. Beacons do fit though since resistance (without slowness) isn't obtainable otherwise. Stuff like the Armour/Food changes later are much more apt since those buff the players general state. I would of put a lot more weight on the shield here though, given how many situations it can save your life in. Trying to fit most of these mechanics like the recipe book onto the single "difficulty" chart honestly just doesn't work at all, it quickly loses any meaning it could have, best to focus on things that actually change how the player can be killed given the focus on the video is hardcore. 10:55 Too Many Variables This is something I'm very glad you've talked about, it is very hard to strike such a good balance between difficulty and actually being fun.

From a guy who only plays with mods, if they make mining harder than it already is. The overall length and difficulty will rise like 50%. Removing totem of undying or making them even rarer in hardcore would be even better, nerfing combat and actually adding mobs you should be afraid of... That's what makes a game hard, not dying once and that's it

The end says it all, if you think something makes it too easy, don't use it, no need to get rid of them and ruin the experience of people like me who actually like Mending and Totems for example and gives a balance between building cool farm and projects vs making the game too hard and having to make a new world every week. The goal of Minecraft Hardcore is to keep the world as long as possible, not dying and be like 'well, i spent 2 hours in that world, i guess that's it'' to me at least, i want to stay alive as long as possible while making cool stuff.

The main reason most of us all love minecraft is its simplicity, and mojang is going against the very thing notch was going for when he made the game.

[@Avocattow]

Probably the best example of balanced game is hk, absolute master piece, freedom and difficulty go so together that its just so fun, i sometimes wish minecraft was a 2d metroidvainia

I feel you about the boring factor in Vannila, I love minecraft to the bone but everytime i play non hardcore i just think about death just a hussle to get my items back or i turn on KeepInv it just become too easy so I play Hardcore but it is easy and boring too in another, Recently i said that i wanted to try modded but not overloaded Modpack to spice things up and tried Better MC on Hardcore and man i have blast playing it, everytime i think i can duel warden in a fair fight I sent back few totems back and still trying to find way to overcome that MF without glitches and it is fun as hell. I recommend trying everything and maybe u hit a jackpot just like me. :D

The amount of Sonic references in this video like the Unleashed QTE and the Doomsday Zone make me so happy. Subbed. Oh, you also referenced Geometry Dash? Dropping a like. 11:05 You've officially became the best Minecraft KZbinr ever
