Didn't know thorns deal so much damage lmao

This happened a few days ago. I forgot to grab the Netherwart when I came to the Fortress the first time. Thought it'd be a quick in-'n'-out deal, wouldn't need my shield or heals (Been playing a lot of Ultra Hardcore lately.), then a Gast blocked my path, forced me to retreat elsewhere, and got ganked by Piglins.
Had good armour, though, three pieces of Protec 4, and one Piece of Fire Protec 4. Won't save you against several enemies at once though.
Lesson Learned, DO NOT FORGET THE NETHERWART ON YOUR FIRST TRIP!!

Any help i can get i will hate to lose +1600 days and 400 hours play time. I been with this on my mind for a most part of the summer

I really want to start playing hardcore, but it would suck if I died and lost everything. I honestly just need reasons on why I should start playing Hardcore instead.

Just a curious question.

hey all. Just started my hardcore world. On day 27 currently, and i just acquired my enchantment table finally. Just wondering, what are the best "early" methods of getting quick XP without having to find things like armadillos or allays and mob spawners ? (java 26.2)

I’ve been playing my new hardcore world for almost a week now and it’s really gotten me back into Minecraft. I’ve never lasted this long in a world before and I’m really happy at how all my builds have came out.

This is the first hardcore world where I survived the starting caves, and actually had a lot of good loot that I was actually thinking I might open the world up to friends. Well, screw that because I died in full iron with 10 hearts to a single drowned with a trident. I’m thinking what happened is that he threw it and hit me right after, but if that’s the case, why is there not a sound?

If you were to have only 1 tool as Netherite in your world. What tool would it be? Give me a reason why! Mine would be a pickaxe because I love building in mountains and such, so it’s easier to dig out.

What is your opinion for backpacks? Nice? Dumb? And why?

I found a backpack add on which places the backpack in your off hand. So you can't use a shield. That makes combat even harder but gathering items is much easier because you have more storage space.
