Death
Death is the permanent and irreversible cessation of a player’s participation on Legendary Hardcore. Upon dying, a player cannot respawn and is immediately banned from the server.
As of the 13th of April 2025, 655 player deaths have been recorded, with the average lifetime of a player being 5.8 hours. The shortest life was that of Darix075, who died from a burning zombie after just 9 seconds on the 1st of April 2025. Players are generally most vulnerable during the first hour of playtime where they are at the highest risk of dying to hostile mobs or environmental hazards.
Cause of Death
Cause of death can broadly be classified as being the consequence of mobs, environment or other players.
Death by Mob
Roughly half of player deaths are caused by hostile mobs. Death by skeleton is the most common mob-related death- particularly during the first hour of playtime when players may not yet have crafted a shield. As playtime increases, creeper deaths become more frequent with almost all other mob-deaths diminishing. Mobs that inhabit the nether are more likely to kill players between their first and second hour of playtime- presumably during their first trip to the nether. 361 players have been killed by mobs.
| Hostile Mob | Player Deaths |
| Shot by Skeleton | 102 |
| Blown up by Creeper | 79 |
| Slain by Zombie | 56 |
| Slain by Enderman | 25 |
| Slain by Piglin Brute | 8 |
| Impaled by Drowned | 7 |
| Slain by Iron Golem | 7 |
| Shot by Stray | 6 |
| Slain by Spider | 5 |

Death by Environment
Environmental deaths are also more likely to occur during early playtime. Falling, drowning and burning make up the majority of environmental deaths. 249 players have died due to environmental hazards.
| Environmental Hazard | Player Deaths |
| Fell from a high place | 100 |
| Tried to swim in lava | 42 |
| Drowned | 34 |
| Burned to death | 18 |
| Suffocated in a wall | 10 |
Death by Player
45 players have been killed in player versus player (PVP) combat- making up just 7% of deaths. The vast majority of PVP deaths appear to have been opportunistic rather than premeditated. There is one recorded instance of a battle involving multiple combatants, where three players were killed in a small conflict near spawn.

Legacy
Upon dying, a player’s head is placed at their last position in the world. The player head contains information on the name of the player, how they died and the date of death. Some communities have established graveyards to commemorate the dead.
