Once the player dies, everything in their inventory is dropped and the character is deleted. Created Hardcore characters cannot be changed back to any other difficulty. Character names that are set in Hardcore Mode are tinted light pink. Hardcore Mode is a character-specific difficulty setting that can be selected when creating a new character.
