First if you come into a game community and say you think the game is too easy then people will suggest ways to make it harder. If you want to complain about this advice then my suggestion to you is to not complain about the difficulty.
As for the second part of your post I only have one thing to say, and it's not directed at you but rather everyone else reading this:
Don't feed the trolls.
I asked a simple question. If i wanted advice the topic would have been how can i make minecraft harder?
Fair enough. I agree that survival can get too easy, especially when you get good armor. A challenge mode would make things better (There is another topic on a chellenge mode, that could solve this problem) But I usually have some build project to work on, so the only mob that creates a problem are creepers.
Yes even iron armor is good enough on hard difficulty.
I know why 4J left out hardcore mode, and thats because of the deletion of the world. But thats not to say that they can't implement a new 'unique' mode of play where mobs get 2 times more damage and health or better, including all bosses, and that a players health doesn't regenerate, the only way to heal is to eat apples or potions.
Hell I really can't see why we can't select the rarities of ores and the world creation time as well, its something that would be 'unique' to the console version. They don't need to call it 'hardcore', they can call it whatever they like for all i care.
Advice on how to make the fan harder is the natural progression from a topic on the game is too easy. If you would prefer a community where people don't give helpful advice then I would suggest that your in the wrong place.
I like to set my own rules while i play on hardmode such as i can only eat bread or i can only use stone/iron swords or i can only use leather armour and thats how i make my worlds a bit more fun and difficult on hard mode
You think MC survival is too easy, but you are not interested on playing custom worlds made in creative mode, you are not interested in mini games (extra rules etc) to make the game more of a challenge...
What exactly do you want?
I have already said what i want lol I suggest you re-read page 1. Other than that i cannot help you.
I play survival on hard difficulty and i find its still too easy. I wish there was an extreme survival mode where resources would be rare and hard to obtain. I think there is way too much iron, coal, redstone, trees, food, etc. I only feel challenged the first 10 minutes of the game when im scrambling to find food and armor. After that there is no real challenge. Anyone else agree?
I do not agree. The challenge of the game for me is building nice things and working to obtain the resources needed to build those nice things.
Hardcore mode wont matter for me since i rarely die and its the same difficulty anyway. I want an extreme survival mode where resources are hard to find. 1 tree on the entire map. No bonemeal. Animals drop no meat. 1 wheat seed on the entire map. Make every ore and stone as rare as diamonds. No beds. No enchantment table. No potions except weakness to cure zombie villagers. No food in the villages or chests.
You can do this yourself. Only use the wood and saplings off the first tree you find. Destroy all other trees and wood related items you come accross, and dispose of any drops you obtain in doing this (throw the drops in lava, on a cactus or just let them despawn). Don't eat or use meat in any way. Don't craft bonemeal, beds or enchanting tables, they only exsist on a save if you craft them. Don't brew potions unless they are potions of weekness and destroy all food found in villages and chests. You can start doing this tonight. No need to complain (because really, I'm sure if you were submitting this as a suggestion to improve the game you would have posted in the suggestions section of the forum). All of that being said, I saw how much you rejected all other self imposed challenges suggested earlier, so I doubt you will follow a challenge you made up yourself.
Ultimately, the only differences between 4J creating a difficulty mode exactly like you discribed and you imposing those rules on yourself is the ability to force other people to follow the same rules when playing multiplayer and the ability to have a new set of stats on the leader boards. Considering the fact that you "dont play anything that was built in creative" the leaderboards are likely the biggest reason you are making this request.

So you started an entire thread only wanting people to reply with yes or no?

Lastly:
Are you really suggesting to remove 90%+ of the stone on a map?
Yes its a game mode you wouldn't have to play if you dont want. I dont want to avoid the stuff on the map, i want it to not be there kind of like when you play survival island. You want to be on an island and see nothing around you. Plus that way when you play multiplayer you know no one is cheating. Do you understand now? If people wanted to say just yes or no thats fine. Didn't think people were gonna get riled up over a simple topic. How dare i want a more challenging game mode lol
I like how you think im complaing too just because i made a topic wanting more challenge out of Minecraft lolI like to build things too. Sometimes i dont want to build and just want to "survive"
Hardcore mode wont matter for me since i rarely die and its the same difficulty anyway. I want an extreme survival mode where resources are hard to find. 1 tree on the entire map. No bonemeal.

1 tree on entire map - several seeds with this feature are already described in the seeds list.
No bonemeal - just throw any bones you collect into lava pools
Animals drop no meat - again, just dump any meat you collect immediately into the nearest lava pool
1 wheat seed - see notation on 1 tree, I have played on some survival island seeds that had only a very small amount of grass... and that grass when broken has even sometimes yielded no seeds at all.
Make every ore and stone as rare a diamonds - Already done... it's called Superflat.

People are offering you ways to make the game harder since it lacks any official way to do so.
It's not their fault if you don't want to take steps to make the game more challenging for yourself.

Another person who didn't listen to a word i said lol

Since all you want is an answer to your question: "NO".
This is the discussion forum... Its for discussion, oddly enough.
If you did not want a discussion, why post in the discussion forum?
You may want a simple yes/no answer out of people, but you have no right to get upset when people offer suggestions for doing exactly what you want to do without the need for the game to be reworked to add in more game modes.
Really if your willing to put the time and effort in then you can do this on a survival map, simply find a seed that suits your base needs, there are plenty out there with little land mass, few trees, etc etc. Then spend some time going around and removing the resources you don't want.
While doing this you can use any food resources etc, but when your done, simply destroy the remainder and voila! one hardcore map built to your requirements in survival.
Im upset? lol this is news to me. I dont want to destroy anything. I want less stuff to find.
I asked a simple question. If i wanted advice the topic would have been how can i make minecraft harder?
Yes even iron armor is good enough on hard difficulty.
Hell I really can't see why we can't select the rarities of ores and the world creation time as well, its something that would be 'unique' to the console version. They don't need to call it 'hardcore', they can call it whatever they like for all i care.
I dont think you understand my point.

So you want everyone's reply to be 'I agree' and then we just leave it at that?

Again i didn't ask for solutions but thanks anyway lol
Since all you want is an answer to your question: "NO".
Seriously though, Minecraft is a sandbox game... the difficulty is what YOU make it to be.
Im upset? lol this is news to me. I dont want to destroy anything. I want less stuff to find.
Ty lol
And if you don't want resourses, then you can just stop collecting them.
Or i could not have so many resources which is what i want. Why is that difficult to understand? lol
