1.9 Updates: Old Score Gone, Experience Possible Substitute
Notch recently noted a possible end to the currently-frozen scoring system: experience orbs may begin counting towards a score total in the near future! The recent screenshot also reveals another likely addition, in the form of Hardcore Mode - death means world deletion. At the moment, Minecraft only offers item loss as a potential deterrent from death; the inclusion of an optional Hardcore Mode would certainly provide a new sense of danger and accomplishment to an already excellent game!
-someone jumps off cliff and dies-
-server shuts down-
-server deletes world file-
-all players are banned from server-
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
Hardcore mode meaning death and potions.
LOL, you made my day bro.
It dosent work that way, manually trying to close the game still saves the game...so when you login your still dead jim.
