# HardcoreRuns
\n**A Server-Side Multiplayer Roguelike Plugin for Minecraft 1.21.11**<\/p>\n
**HardcoreRuns** brings the tension of Hardcore Minecraft to a multiplayer environment with zero setup required for players. Just join and play!<\/p>\n
### Features
\n* **Instant Resets:** Walk through the lobby portal to instantly generate a brand new Overworld, Nether, and End with a random seed. No server restarts required.
\n* **Two Ways to Play:**
\n * **Linked Death Mode:** True co-op. If your friend dies, you *all* die. Work together or fail together.
\n * **Elimination Mode:** Survival of the fittest. If you die, you are sent to the lobby to wait\/spectate. The run continues until the last player falls.
\n* **Live HUD:** Keeps track of your “Time Alive” on the action bar and tracks total Resets and Wins on the scoreboard.
\n* **Seamless Dimensions:** Custom portal logic ensures you travel to a fresh Nether and End specific to your current run.
\n* **Win the Game:** Defeat the Ender Dragon and jump through the portal to secure a Victory and increment the server-wide win counter.<\/p>\n

### Installation Guide<\/p>\n
**1. Prepare the Server**
\n* Download **Paper 1.21.11** (or the latest 1.21 build) from the PaperMC website.
\n* Put the `.jar` file in a folder and run it once to generate files.
\n* Open `eula.txt` and change `eula=false` to `eula=true`.<\/p>\n
**2. Install the Plugin**
\n* Download `HardcoreRuns.jar`.
\n* Drag and drop the file into the server’s `plugins` folder.
\n * Modify the server.properties file and change hardcore=false to hardcore=true
\n* Start the server.<\/p>\n
**3. Setup the Lobby**
\n* When you first join, you will be in the **Lobby World** (the default server world).
\n* Switch to Creative Mode (`\/gamemode creative`).
\n* Build your lobby area.
\n* **Crucial Step:** Build a standard **Nether Portal** and light it with Flint & Steel.
\n * *Note: This portal is your “Start Button.” Walking into it triggers the generation of a new run.*
\n* Switch back to Survival or Adventure mode.<\/p>\n
**4. Play!**
\n* Walk into the portal. The server will freeze for a moment while it generates three new dimensions.
\n* Good luck!<\/p>\n

### Commands & Permissions<\/p>\n
All commands are handled by the plugin. No complex permission plugins are strictly necessary if you are an OP, but permissions are listed below for server admins.<\/p>\n
| Command | Permission | Description |
\n| :— | :— | :— |
\n| **\/hctoggle** | `hardcoreruns.admin` | Toggles the game mode between **Linked Death** (Shared Lives) and **Elimination** (Last Man Standing). |
\n| **\/hcui** | *(None)* | Toggles the HUD (Scoreboard & Timer) on or off for the player who runs it. Useful for taking screenshots. |
\n| **\/hcreset** | `hardcoreruns.admin` | Resets the global “Resets” and “Wins” counters on the scoreboard back to 0. |<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### Configuration
\nThe plugin creates a `config.yml` automatically. You generally do not need to edit this manually, as the plugin saves your stats (Win\/Reset counts) and settings (Game Mode) automatically when the server stops.<\/p>\n
“`yaml
\nresetCount: 12 # Automatically tracks how many times you died
\nwinCount: 2 # Automatically tracks how many times you beat the dragon
\nlinkedDeath: true # Tracks your current game mode
\n“`<\/p>\n
