Hotdog Water is a 1.19.4 hardcore vanilla minecraft survival server. It was created by two brothers in an attempt to create a hardcore server that reflects their own expereience of playing hardcore on LAN together. To achieve this goal, the server is strictly vanilla, with only minor cosmetic and moderation-supporting changes made to the base game.

 Other hardcore servers are usually not vanilla, based on a temporary ban on death, or use a fixed period for world reset. None of these capture the essense of a shared hardcore world.

- While it is a popular gamemode, 'lifesteal' is often advertised as hardcore vanilla, but it is probably not what you're after when searching 'hardcore vanilla.'

- Giving players a temporary ban when they die still allows them to come back to their base and items if they haven't been raided. This is more similar to a vanilla SMP than a true hardcore experience.

- A fixed period for world reset, such as once per month, can be extremely inconvenient to both new players who join shortly before world reset and players who died shortly after world reset.

 Hotdog water seeks to balance the competing desires between the living and the dead by putting it up to a vote. Each day a vote is held on the discord to decide whether or not the world will be reset. The birch sign above gives the age of the current world.

 If this sounds like a play style you would enjoy, join us in the discord or even just hop on the server! The player base is currently small, but the server is young and growing. If you enjoy the server, feel free to vote on server-listing sites or donate. (links and rewards coming soon!)
