Hardcore SMP is a hardcore survival multiplayer server for both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. We keep the experience focused on vanilla-style hardcore gameplay, with a few carefully chosen features that make multiplayer smoother without turning the server into something else.

We do not reset the world, we do not allow pay-to-win advantages, and we do not offer teleports to other players. The only teleport commands available are a one-time-use /randomtp to get you into fresh overworld terrain (you can also invite others to go with you), plus /home to return to your respawn point and /spawn to return to Spawn.

Progression is driven by players. Our coin economy is entirely player-run with no admin shops for normal items. Coins enter circulation through gameplay like defeating mobs and looting chests, and trading is supported through a trading system and an auction house.

To protect builds, we run a comprehensive land claiming system so bases and farms are safe from griefing while you are offline. In true hardcore fashion, death has consequences: if you die, your claims are deleted and the land becomes unprotected.

Our store keeps things fair. The only rank, VIP, is cosmetic only, and we also offer a revive option that functions like a full account reset so you can start fresh again without needing a new Minecraft account.
