Greetings Addstarians!
Attention all farmers, fighters and villager whisperers, it’s time to dig in!
A new Hardcore 3 has arrived to challenge your hardcore lives and test your sanity… one season at a time.
Get ready to explore custom world generation, breathtaking landscapes and incredible new structures… designed to thrill every adventurer! From towering peaks to lush valleys, this world is crafted to test your survival skills and your creativity.
Gone are the days of immortal traders and endless harvests; In this world, time truly matters. Your villagers will grow old, retire and eventually pass on, leaving behind a legacy… and maybe an empty trading hall. As the seasons shift, so too will their needs, their moods, and their chances of survival.
Prepare for madness, mayhem, and magnificent bases that may (or may not) stand the test of time. We believe in you… mostly.
🌾 When’s It All Happening?
Mark your calendars for 5 Dec 2025 @ 18:00 (AEDT), when the adventure officially begins!
🌦️ What’s in HC3: Villager Seasons Edition
🧑🌾 Villager Lifespans
Villagers now live, age, and retire. You’ll need special food to breed new generations and maybe shed a tear when your favorite farmer hangs up their hat. They gain custom names when retired so look out, Granny Smith might show up.
🌤 Seasons & Temperature
Every in-game season affects crops, weather and gameplay. Plan ahead or prepare to freeze, overheat or worse as your environment tries to take you out of the game.
🌱 Realistic Plant Growth
Crops now survival only in certain seasons and certain terrain. Timing and location are everything, so plant wisely! Be aware, crops can only be harvested by a hoe, so be sure to keep one handy!
💪 Skills & Abilities
Level up to unlock passive buffs and unique abilities, finally all that XP grinding pays off. You can even track your progress to see how powerful you’ve become.
🏅Player Stats & Leaderboards
Introducing a brand new set of player stats and leaderboards available right on our website! Earn achievements, compare your progress, and compete to claim your place among the best. Healthy competition never looked this good and now you’ll have the stats to prove your bragging rights.
💀 Totem Cooldown
Totem spamming? Not anymore. We think a 3-day totem cooldown will keep things spicy… although a good night’s sleep should help you feel strong enough to use one again 😉
🔥 Dynamic Difficulty
The longer you survive, the tougher it gets. Every death resets your Affinity, so don’t die if you can help it.
🐉 End Overhaul
The End is no longer predictable. Unique Ender Dragons with random names and difficulty levels now spawn. And if one’s not around, there’s always a chance another might appear… chaos guaranteed.
🪶 Collections
A living system that tracks the items and creatures you uncover throughout your journey. Whether you’re hunting mobs, gathering resources, or crafting masterpieces, every discovery contributes to your personal and global collection progress. Compete with others, unlock milestones, and showcase your accomplishments on the website – because who doesn’t love flexing their rare finds?
🌟 Hardcore3 StarShop Updates
Survival shouldn’t be your only challenge, thriving in style is just as important!
As your villagers age gracefully, you might as well match their flare for being dramatic 😎
✨ Player Particles – Customize your tools, weapons, and bows with stylish effects.
🪽 Elytra Trails – Leave a trail of glory (and maybe rainbow smoke) wherever you fly.
So, rally your teams, prep your farms, and brace yourself for a world where even villagers have midlife crises. The next Hardcore3 adventure opens soon and it’s going to be legendary.
See you in the fields, Addstarians! 🌾🔥
