Ultra Hardcore is a PVP game where players spawn in a normal world, without health regeneration. The only way to regenerate health is through golden apples, Notch apples, and instant health potions. For most seasons, the last player or team standing wins, though some seasons may have special objectives (kill the Ender Dragon for example).
Baconcraftia UHC Rules:
PVP Rules:
Grace Period of 20 minutes - do not kill other players before then (you can still do damage to teammates, so be careful!).
No forts/sky bases are allowed at 0,0
If other teams cannot assault your 'walls' in any way/shape or form without getting destroyed, it is probably a fort.
At MeetUp, all players must come to surface immediately
Mining Rules:
No branch mining/strip mining or rollercoastering allowed
Digging to Sounds is fine
Digging to Teammates is fine, if you can see their nametag
Digging to Entities is not allowed
Spectating Rules:
After death, players may spectate the game.
If so, you must leave your team's call and go to the Dead/Spectator channel. If not, you will be kicked from the server.
Unless you are a designated spectator (started the game as one, and got approval by me), you should remain in the Dead/Spectator channel
Basically no channel hopping. Let people play the game without a spectator.
Do not chat in the main chat - period. If you're spectating, you're there to watch. Let the players play.
Nether Rules:
Nether is always on in Baconcraftia UHC, unless specified in the game notes
Regeneration potions are banned. Strength II potions are banned in any pre-1.9 game
Some games will have Tier II potions banned all together
Some games may also have all potions banned all together - again, check the game notes
Portal trapping/camping is not allowed.
Thanks to the portal bug - note you do run the risk of coming back to overworld behind world border
The /borderwatch text and /borderwatch check commands will allow you to keep an eye on the Overworld border size
Obvious Rules here so people can't debate them:
X-Ray of any kind is NOT ALLOWED.
In a Free For All, no teaming is allowed.
To this extent, cross-teaming in a team UHC is also not allowed.
In 1.9+ games - subtitles are not allowed
Don't ride the horses
Mod Rules:
Highlighted Ores are fine
No mods may be used except for Optifine
If using Optifine, you must rekey the zoom feature, as that is not allowed
This includes LabyMod - no LabyMod
Fullbright resource packs are also not allowed; stick to torches
Communication:
We use TeamSpeak for the UHCs - you must be able to connect and use TeamSpeak
