Making your world Hardcore Mode.

If your world has been previously generated (if you already have connected to your server and not generated a new world), you will need to follow a few extra steps to change the settings to activate hardcore mode. You can do this by using NBTExplorer, you can also however generate a new world which will generate in hardcore mode so we will show you both methods:

Method 1 - Generating a new world

• Firstly go to you server on the Pebblehost Panel

• Using the Utilities please select the Reset World (WARNING: This will remove all your world files you will lose all in game progress)

• Now go to the console page

Your server will reboot and remove your world then will boot back up with a new fresh world and that world will be set to hardcore mode

Method 2 - Modifying a world you have already been playing on

• First make sure you have downloaded and installed NBTExplorer from https://github.com/jaquadro/nbtexplorer/releases

• Now Make a note of the world name for your server

• Go to the File Manager

• Select the world name you took a note of earlier

• Download the level.dat by selecting it and then pressing download

• Start NBTExplorer and open the level.dat downloaded from your server.

• Once opened double click on hardcore and set the value to 1 instead of 0

• Upload the level.dat to your server replacing the file you downloaded and then start your server up.

The completes switching your server to Hardcore Mode.
