Work Text:
There are a lot of curses in this God forsaken universe.
Some affect the player's code directly, but a lot are more subtle.
Who needs to affect the player code when you can affect where their code resides?
Most curses are intertwined with a world's code.
One of them are the hardcore words, they are so common and so wide spread that a lot of naive players don't know that this is the work of a curse.
They play and play in their hardcore, the curse weaved in their very soul.
And when they come to their demise, most will expect to wake safe and sound in the hub, unable to access their previous work, but mostly fine and unaffected.
But player, are you sure that this is the truth?
Are you the same one that played that cursed and now forgotten word? Or are you just the consequence, the true curse.
Something living your life, while you are rotten and dead in what should just be some silly and challenging fun.
…
As I was saying, the Hardcore cursed worlds are one of the most common ones, some may have some variations, 3 or more lifes, fun gimmicks involving murder and trades, because a normal and safe survival world was too boring for you.
...
One type of curse that affects the generation of a world is the 3R "Challenge".
It is not a challenge if you ask me.
It's more like a death trap.
It's new, mostly unexplored and simple in its rules.
Nothing can despawn .
well everything will despawn in 5 minutes, you can't let anything despawn.
A thing that I can affirm is that the entity that made this curse, has some loose purple worms in their brain, but that is beside the point.
At first it may sound like a "boring" or "easy" challenge, If you are a neat and diligent player, maybe it will be.
If you cut a tree plz pick the saplings.
If you mine rock, don't let the heaviness unbalance your judgment.
If you are going to mine for netherite, I really do hope that you bought at least a pack of chests.
Don't let nothing despawn and remember no destruction of items allowed.
I am not gonna beat around the bush and imply that It will be the hardest challenge of your life, If you are an experienced player it will not be.
Well I said It will not be the hardest one of your life, but It probably will be the harshest one and maybe just the last one you will ever do.
Because player, dearest universe's belloved player, this may not be your actual designation after this "challenge".
Don't let the item despawn
Or you may become the trash you thought you just got rid of. If that happens dearest player, I really hope someone gets to you in less than five minutes.
It would be a shame for you to despawn after such a tiring adventure.
