Minecraft Hardcore Challenge!
May 2020
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Thrifty Challenge!
Seed: Cheap!
Large Biomes
Structures: On
Standard rules do not apply.
Grab an empty jar and put it on the table. For every block mined, according to the statistics page, put a penny in the jar. For every passive mob killed put a dollar in the jar. See how thrifty you can live. Find clever ways to get resources without them costing you money. Creepers can free up blocks for you to collect. Stealing from villages will save you some money. If you find a pack of wolves, following them around can yield free wool and food. Try to complete the whole month for under a dollar.

Michael Deering's standard rules video: youtu.be/FAOGY-8GpmA
(Quick Notice: Video has not been updated for latest game versions, see below for up-to-date rules)
The standard rules are as follows:
1. We are all playing the same game with the same features, therefore:
Hardcore Mode.
Vanilla Minecraft, no mods (except Batty's and Optifine).
Current version, or latest Batty version.
Same World Type, Seed, and Structures (OFF or ON).
2. No skipping the night by sleeping in beds.
3. No harming passive mobs. Drops from legal deaths may be used.
4. No eating the meat from passive mobs. Zombie flesh and any type of fish (if caught with a fishing rod or found in chests) are okay.
5. Brightness set at 100%.
6. No AFK crop growth, or AFK mob grinding, or AFK anything else.
7. No duplicate world info, except other player's vids on following episodes.
8. Everything on-camera at normal speed.
9. Episodes run from sun-up to sun-up.
10. Post episodes every Monday and Friday, or a day early.
11. No one dies on episode one.
12. Restoring from a backup copy of the world is forbidden under any circumstances.
13. No violence against other players or suicide.
14. Michael Deering may not change the rules after the Announcement video.
15. In team play, survivors must build a memorial or grave site for fallen players.
Any changes to these rules, outside of monthly special rules, will be decided by the MHC players as a group.
