What is UHC 26.2?

UHC 26.2 is the main and active version of Ultra Hardcore at Espectral. It runs on Minecraft 26.2 (Paper API 26.2.build.87-stable), with the EspectralUHC plugin 2.2.17-B compiled for Java 25. It includes all modern biomes, mobs and mechanics.

UHC mode removes natural health regeneration. The only way to heal is through golden golden apples, golden heads, potions or special items. The goal: be the last team standing.

This version features 102 scenarios classified in 5 categories, 18 nerfs and buffs (6 buffs and 12 nerfs), 16 playable classes, multiple team modes and an extremely detailed host configuration system.

🎮 Core Mechanics

  • ❤️ No natural health regeneration — Heal only via golden apples, health potions, or Golden Heads.
  • 💀 Difficulty is set to Hard.
  • 💀 Players drop their head on death, plus a random mineral block (gold, redstone, lapis, iron or emerald).
  • 🛠️ Golden Heads: Crafted with a player/mob head (except dragon and piglin) + 8 gold ingots. Heals 4 red hearts and grants 4 absorption for 2 minutes.
  • 🛠️ Regeneration soups are not craftable but obtainable from structures.
  • 🛠️ Glistering Melon is crafted with a melon slice + one gold block (not nuggets).
  • 🛠️ Dragon's Breath is craftable with water bottles + blaze powder + nether wart + gold nuggets.
  • 🛠️ Spectral Arrows yield 3 arrows per craft instead of 2.
  • 👻 Ghasts drop gold ingots instead of tears (default, modifiable via ghast_gold nerf).
  • 🏰 Pillager Outposts contain 0 to 3 diamonds (with pillager_outpost_buff they can give more).
