Ultra Hardcore (UHC) is a custom gamemode, similar to Hardcore, with the main difference being players cannot naturally regenerate health.

In Ultra Hardcore, players cannot regenerate health from food and must use potions, suspicious stews, golden apples, or enchanted golden apples to regain lost health. Like regular Hardcore, players cannot respawn if they die. While a UHC playthrough could theoretically last indefinitely, the primary goal is to defeat the Ender dragon, or defeat all of the other players in the case of a PvP competition. In PvP UHC, players are spread across the map when they spawn in. UHC is one of the preferred modes in high-level PvP gameplay.^[1]

There are a few ways to set up UHC:

• When a hardcore world is loaded with cheats enabled, the command /gamerule naturalRegeneration false is entered.
• Setting the "Regenerate health" status to "false" in the "Game Rules" option from the world creation menu.

Ultra Hardcore was started by members of the MindCrack SMP server on February 23, 2012.

Dinnerbone^[2] and Grumm^[3] have participated in MindCrack UHC.

The set of features that make up Ultra Hardcore were added in 1.6.1 snapshot 13w23a, which is entirely dedicated to making the game mode possible in the vanilla game.

The map "ULTRA Hardcore Difficulty" made by Logdotzip, released onto the Marketplace, has been featured on Minecraft.net.^[4]
