Hardcore isn't hardcore anymore
Unpopular opinion, but remember when "hardcore Minecraft" actually meant trying to survive against creepers and skeletons without dying? Now it feels like everyone's just trying to find some obscure glitch to a "new dimension" or remove 99% of chunks from the Lifesteal SMP. Like, where's the grind? Where's the panic when you hear a spider? It's all about exploiting game mechanics for views now instead of genuine survival skill. Just me? Or does anyone else miss the old days of real hardcore challenges?
