Hardcore SMP is a hardcore survival multiplayer server for both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition with a world that does not reset. Gameplay stays primarily vanilla, with a few additions focused on multiplayer interaction, including a player-driven economy with no server shops for buying and selling vanilla items, plus a trading system and an auction house. Coins enter circulation by defeating mobs and looting chests, and land claiming protects bases and farms from griefing with trust permissions for teammates, but claims are deleted if the claim owner dies. Two single-use items are available: a Crowbar for acquiring a mob spawner and Soup of Life for gaining an extra heart, and the server is non-pay-to-win with a cosmetic-only VIP rank and an optional revive that resets your progress.
