AlmostHardcore is a datapack for Minecraft 1.21.11 that adds a hardcore-like experience without deleting the world after the first death.

Instead of losing the world immediately, each player gets five chances. Every time you die, you permanently lose two hearts from your normal health bar. When all 10 hearts are gone and you die again, your game on that world is over.

This keeps survival intense and punishing, while still allowing limited mistakes.

Important:
The datapack must be used on a world set to Survival, not Hardcore. All other settings are automatically handled by the datapack.

Built-in resource pack:
AlmostHardcore includes its own resource pack, packed into the same zip file as the datapack.
You must place this file in two locations.

- the world’s datapacks folder
- the global resourcepacks folder

Version: 1.21.11

I saw a pack like this, but every time you ate an enchanted golden apple it resorted 1 heart to your health bar. Unfortunately it's quite outdated which I was very sad about. How hard would it be to implement this?
