Minecraft hardcore mode is the best Minecraft mode. unlike all other modes, hardcore is one of the most encouraging. assuming when you go to sleep in your Minecraft bed to pass the terrors of the night, you're able to see your chatlogs. in normal mode, hard mode, easy, etc, I'm also assuming you've died a few times. the chatlog likes to remind you of every failure you've had happen. corse, theres your achievements. but lets be brutally honest here, your death ratio is probably higher. but in hardcore mode, theres next to no room for fatal error. so, if you're lucky enough to last til night, you get a good refresher of all the great things you've done. thus encouraging you to push on and try harder. in conclusion, hardcore mode is best because it doesn't remind me of how bad I am at Minecraft.
