5 things players should not do in Minecraft Hardcore

Minecraft has various types of game modes to play in, including hardcore mode. Due to the sheer difficulty of hardcore mode and only one life to work with, there are a few things which players shouldn't do.

If players are bored with the normal survival mode and want something more exhilarating from the game, they can enter the hardcore mode. Hardcore mode has the highest difficulty in the game, and the player has only one life. If a player dies, they can't play in that particular world again. Hence players should be much more cautious in doing anything while playing at the highest difficulty.
