Key Features for Hardcore

The main point of Hardcore mode is that players only have One life! This means that dying even once is considered as real death and players cannot spawn into that world anymore. Upon death, players can only spectate the world and their achievements and do not get a option to respawn.
The second most important feature is that the world difficulty is set in Hard difficulty from the very start. Players cannot change it.
It is only available for Java Edition.
Players cannot enable the Cheats or Bonus Chest features when selecting the game mode.
Hardcore mode also has the multiplayer mode so that many friends or players can get into the game together. However, the rules stay the same and if a player dies, they can only access the Spectator mode. This is because, the Hardcore mode is based on the worlds and not on the players. This means that other players can still p[lay in the world if one player dies.
Fun Fact: The hearts of the players in Minecraft Hardcore mode is quite different with dark red marks inside it!
