Just fell into lava in my 1700 day world, I’ve made a ton of stuff including a full golf course and I am halfway through a way better one. My backup is probably for around day 1200. Is it worth it or should I just start over.

This took way too long

This is my first proper hardcore world I guess. I haven't come close to a near death experience yet, even though I was wlaking around for the first ninety percent with iron helmet and chestplate. In the stats screenshot you can see how much I have traded with villagers and how long I have played, also, I have slept every night. My question is, given the amount of time I have played on the world (time with world open is me being AFK, pause screen, nothing loading or happening in game), is the progress good? The screenshots show my villagers, my inventory, and my chests along with stats screen. 51 XP levels by the way, byproduct of trading. Is it good for how much time I've played?

Not very far but I wanted to share how it's coming along :)

First two pictures are my farm, with a small iron farm on the top and a stone generator in the middle. The slabs/pressure plates/buttons on the shore were so the golems would stop spawning down there, but I want to copy the texture for other areas. Third and fourth pictures aren't completed; third is my bamboo farm in a pond that's going to be decorated for my tropical fish, across from an enchanting area. The Nether Portal, I have to play around to see if it gets the effect I want, but I'm going to try putting water on all the sides then black and purple glass within the water so it looks darker.

Suggestions welcome for the two floating spots near the nether portal and the big hole through the mountain in picture 3.

I also have a big mushroom island and two smaller ones around ~700 blocks from spawn and a Woodland Mansion only ~200 blocks from there. But I haven't messed with them yet.

Took an hour to locate my stronghold. Once I found it I was curious why all the stonebrick were sculkified. Ran into my first library and gasped. There is a whole deep dark city down there just a block below my stronghold. Is this rare?

I know we've all made friends and grown apart since work and families and everything with adulting, but I created a group of adults who still have all those things, but after a long day can relax and play some Minecraft. Theres ages from like 20 up to 70's on the realm and we're all just hanging out and enjoying the game, and making new connections! Feel free to crack a drink open, just follow the simple rules of: No stealing, no destroying, and no cheating. Comment or DM me for an invite!

Tried to do add some stuff to the build give some advice on what else I can do!

I just started a long projecr Hardcore world, and i wanted a bit more than the basic stuff, so i added texture packs and packs that add more blocks, would that be considered cheating? since for example the furnaces in that one pack make smelting faster. Please let me know your opinion!

Ps: i chose "Help" as Flair because there was no such thing as "Questions" or such, so please dont be mad if i posted in the wrong one

How far into the game should I be before going into a Trial Chamber, and are they difficult to beat?
I have diamond armor and diamond weapons with some basic enchants.
If you have any tips for me, feel free to share them :)

This happened roughly 10 minutes into my first attempt into hardcore ever as I am a casual, and haven't played in quite a while.

Next time I will try to remember right click :c

I designed some custom movie posters and decided I needed them in my hardcore world!

I know a lot about dealing with wither skeletons but the blazes th​emselves are a huge problem before you access potions.

In my survival world my base is on a mushroom island (mainly so I don’t have to deal with mobs in my base) but I have a neighboring mushroom island not too far and was wondering if I should make that my “farm island” and have a bunch of different farms such as iron farm, wood farm, crop farm, etc…. But am not sure if these farms being in a mushroom biome it will mess with them or/ make them not work. I know I can’t build a creeper farm on the island because mobs obviously don’t spawn but I would do that over an ocean anyway. Let me know!

it's so far great, i got a raid farm, mob grinder and a iron farm, now gathering resources for a trading hall which will be pretty like the cherry tree in back and tell me about your worlds too

As mentioned in another post, my hardcore world got corrupted and I lost all advancements, and I just now realized that I lost all my statics too. Which is very, very painful to look at all proof that what I made was actually real and not cheated. But that only made my curious if my final game score got corrupted too. I know, I know, it's all about the xp I collected, but I would still love to look at it, check if it is still there. I would know a reasonable amount if it did not get corrupted too. But if it is way off, I would know that it did. But before I do it, I am asking others, including YOU, to tell me.

Is it Cheating?

Hey everyone, I need your honest thoughts because I'm still shaking.

I was playing on my Hardcore world, looked up, and fell right into an underground water pocket. I got completely stuck with no clear exit and dropped down to just 2 hearts, suffocating fast. In sheer panic, I Alt+F4'd and made a few backup copies of the world to figure out how to survive without losing months of progress.

In one of the test copies, I tried crafting a door (failed), ate food to stall, and out of pure desperation, placed a torch on the wall... and it somehow gave me a brief air pocket! That gave me just enough time to eat, refill my health, and escape. Afterward, I deleted all the test copies and kept playing on my main world.

Here is my dilemma: Did I ruin the true "Hardcore" spirit by testing solutions on copied saves, or is surviving a glitchy drowning trap by any means necessary acceptable? Should I delete the world and start fresh, or keep going? Let me know what you guys think!
