Creator notes

This datapack is a gamemode addition to the game. It lands somewhere in between hard and hardcore. On death you will enter spectator mode for a configurable amount of time. After the countdown is finished you will be spawned at a bed, respawn anchor, or worlds spawn (whichever you had set). There are many config settings to change to get it just the way you would like it to be. Supports MC versions 1.20.2 through 26.3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SET UP: 1. Put the SoftHardcore file into the datapacks folder located in your world folder and reload/leave and rejoin your server/world 2. At world spawn (or where you would like to change world spawn to) run this command: /function softhardcore:setspawn 3. OPTIONAL Set the amount of time in ticks (20 ticks = 1 second) the countdown is when a player dies: /scoreboard players set sh.DeathDuration SHconfig 1200 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXTRA CONFIG SETTINGS/COMMANDS Only runnable while dead, return to your death location to see what went down (any player can run this): /tr
