Hardcore is the most challenging mode only available in Minecraft Java Edition. When a player dies in a hardcore world, they cannot respawn, and the death screen says "Game Over!" From there, players can either spectate their world or move to the title screen.
Players who are used to playing the survival game mode and want to try hardcore should use seeds that spawn them close to safe structures such as villages. This way, they will be able to start their hardcore world a lot more safely.
Note: The seed listed below works only in game version 1.18 and above. Playing this seed in an older version will generate a different world.

2) Village and mushroom biome (Java and Bedrock seed: 5719677861526742709)

This seed will spawn its users in a snowy taiga biome featuring a taiga village in the west in Java Edition and a snowy village in the south in Bedrock Edition. By going west from the spawn, you can discover a giant mushroom island. Mushroom biomes are unique regions where no hostile mobs can spawn.
This feature makes it the best for beginner hardcore players. Players need to be a little careful while exploring the village because it generates near a deadly deep ravine.
1) Mushroom biome and shipwreck (Bedrock and Java seed: 3198781)

The spawn places the player on a beach near a birch forest biome, close to a vast ocean. From the beach, players can spot a giant mushroom field island to the north. The mushroom biome stands within a deep ocean and has no land biomes nearby.
If you are worried about hostile mobs, living on the mushroom island is a safe option. There are also multiple shipwrecks surrounding the island, where you can safely obtain valuable items.
These were the best hardcore Minecraft seeds that players can enter to have a thrilling and adventurous experience in the game.
