In this alternative hardcore mode, dying comes with a unique twist. You cannot interact with the world entities, but you may only enjoy your creations in spectate mode after your death.

If you meet your end, you won't lose everything. Your inventory will retain a compass that gives you the direction of any other player present in the world. Moreover, you are going to have Elytra in your inventory as well as feathers. The Elytra grants you the power to soar through the skies. Simply scroll through your items to activate it, and you'll be ready to explore the realm from a breathtaking perspective.
