TheMisterEpic – What Happened to Minecraft UHC???

Minecraft’s DHCS are highly competitive intense battle royale style game would based around pvp the game mode has a rich history dating back over eight years now is responsible for changing or adding some core features to Minecraft which are used to this day the game would saw a wild popularity but these

Days it’s a shadow of us for myself but many GHC so is shutting down forever so what happened let me begin by explaining what UHC is first of all UHC is not just a weird version of Hunger Games EHC which stands for ultra hardcore is significantly more difficult and

Hardcore as its name suggests in UHC you are allowed to break and place any box you want and you gather your items you don’t find them in chests like Hunger Games but the main feature of the EOC which is what it’s well known for and what makes it hardcore it’s the fact

They do not naturally regenerate health like you do in normal survival minecraft and the only way to regenerate health in UHC is through rare items such as golden apples and potions UHC is also gone for significantly longer normally around 40 minutes to an hour and have many more

Players a normal year C can have anywhere between 100 and 300 players and instead of starting in the middle of a small map like in Hunger Games plays a randomly teleported into a generated map often about two thousand four two thousand blocks big the world border also shrinks over time after the grace

Period has ended but apart from that the gamin has the same goal as Hunger Games the last player standing wins or in the case of teams the last team standing wins but it wasn’t always like this in fact the very first ye age seas were wildly different on February the 22nd

2012 the first-ever UHC took place a youtuber by the name of Gouda boulderfist who was an active member of the popular vanilla SMP mindcrack had done a few single-player challenge series such as Ironman where he wouldn’t allow himself to regenerate health at the time he wished there was a mod which

Could do this for him and fortunately for him another member of mine crack vintage beef contacted a mod maker a mod was then made and would later be known as the UHC mod its core features were that it wouldn’t allow it in that to regenerate health the EHC mod also

Changed the recipe of golden apples to require golden ingots instead of nuggets change a recipe of glistening melons to by gold blocks instead of gold ingots made regeneration potions only obtainable with gold blocks and made gas drop gold instead of gas tiers so now this brings us to the first-ever UHC

Where four players from the minecraft server viewed vintage beef pause unpause and w9 two bars try to kill the Ender Dragon without being able to regenerate health a very different format to the EHC we see today they failed the first attempt so decided to do the same thing

Again but this time was successful the third UHC is where the EAC we see today would begin to take shape named mine crack Ultra Hardcore it featured eight participants all part of the minecraft server who had attempt to kill all other players and be the last play standing in an all-out free-for-all and

Keeping with the theme of hardcore you of course were not allowed to regenerate health good would be the last man standing going down in history as the winner of the first ever ye HC the fourth mine crack yoseef featured the same players this time they were split

Into two teams and there were two ways to win either by killing all players of the opposite team or by completing a monument the monument was basically a redstone contraption which has spit out a block every few seconds and if you stood by it and place all the blocks in

Your team would win Team Duke consisting of the for newer players managed to win by eliminating all the enemy team the next several mine crack DHCS would be all of similar free-for-all style and gradually increased in participants over time however in the eleventh you’d see something incredible would happen dinnerbone a technical

Director emerging joined in and played in the mine crack EHC as i mentioned earlier for eh cedar work required a mod which would disable natural health regeneration dinnerbone after playing the EHC was able to introduce a new game rule into minecraft called game rule natural regeneration which if toggled off would

Prevent players from naturally regenerating health this game rule probably would have never been introduced if it wasn’t for Minecraft HC Dinnerbone would continue to play in future you HCS as a popularity of the game-mode grew larger and larger later on even more features would be introduced into Minecraft such as the

Spread players command which spread players randomly within a certain radius and customizable world borders which could be set up to shrink over time out of the game rule is on actually that these features would have been introduced into a Minecraft if it weren’t for the Minecraft DHC which

Really shows their impact on Minecraft as a whole to this date there have been 30 minecraft DHCS the most recent occurring on February the 14th this year but unfortunately many of the og minecraft players no longer participate it has officially been over eight years since the first year see now but the

Story of UAC doesn’t end there in fact has only just begun let’s go back to 2012 now the first few mindcrack DHCS had roaring success and inspired by them other communities and players want to join in or create eh seeds of their own this is where the subreddit r slash

Ultra Hardcore comes in one of the first eh C communities the subreddit was created to organize and make it easier for players to join and participate in DHCS the sub read allowed any member of the public to join and unlike minecraft DHC it wasn’t just exclusive to youtubers at

The time so how it worked was there will be post announcing when certain ufc’s were going to be run including what time what day and any other server information players would then have to sign up in advance often days before the UHC actually took place do you do the

Popularity of the HD in the limitations of minecraft server player capabilities sometimes players would miss out or sign up too late being forth to try and join other UHC s aside from general DHCS the reddit community would also host yo Steve is third in twists or scenarios

Such as sky high whereby players take damage if they go to the ground being forced to do it up high in the sky this is where this famous moment comes from Wow I’m Audi pearls don’t fall faster Oh all-in-all the community was great and the amount of UHC games being run on

There were astounding the R / Ultra Hardcore community flourished thousands of player hosted eh C’s were played and the subreddit currently has 12,000 members these days however the subreddit is much more quiet due to things we’ll talk about later in the video but there is also a calendar website now which

Displays when and where year C’s are going to happen which somewhat replaced the subreddit but as the GHC continued to grow and become more popular more and more communities would pop up such as QB OC q OC was created by the canadian youtuber grazer 10 and was heavily

Inspired by my crappy HC QV HC also began the similar fashion to my cracks as initially there was a cube SMP server and plays part the SMP would occasionally participate in DHCS cube DAC would grow much larger though would branch out started the cube community involving many other youtubers and

Players this is where many youtubers who still upload you see content today got their first decent publicity interestingly cube u HC has an episode feature where about all players were told after certain period of time when episode ended so that they could stop or cut their recordings this would ensure

That all the youtubers could sink their uploads and episodes as to not store the result of the EHC cube u HC has had 21 seasons the last happening on August 27th 2019 so now this brings us to our Glee one of the biggest things to ever

Happen to you I see the bad line network bad line were the first to really refine yosi’s on a technical server side you see at the time most GH C’s were capped at about a hundred players as if they had more the game would become too laggy and unenjoyable

But both founders of bad line were very experienced in this field as Aki Bach was a computer engineer and master gbeary was a computer scientists and they had a lot of knowledge in coding and optimization they knew that they could host bigger and better you H CS

And the first GHC they hosted it featured an astounding 250 players however when they first advertised there you have see on the our Ultra Hardcore subreddit they were laughed at as plays do not believe they could host such a do see but they prove the established community wrong posting many large 250

Player UCS or even upwards of 300 players but they still had one problem so many people wanted to play that even with their large players loss they would still have another 200 to 300 players who missed out they ended up hosting a few even large and VOCs the largest with

About 1100 players bad line is where the gamer really became more public and accessible to the wider minecraft community it’s also where YouTube content really began to grow during this period of time EHC was idly at its peak with the most people playing it and the most people watching on YouTube however

With the closing of bear line in May of 2018 bad line UHC also shut down marking the end of UHD s peak period this brings us to high pixel UHC now originally being added to the server in 2015 high pixels GH C’s are slightly smaller than more traditional UHC s and only

Featuring only about 70 players the games also go a lot faster there is only a 10-minute grace period and the world border shrinks and an increasing speed there is also a death match featuring high pixel HC teleporting all players to a certain area if the games go too long high pixel

Also added its own unique touch to the game with unlockable kits and crafts which can give place an edge over others these extra features are a bit hit and miss however but they can make the game more fun and interesting but can also deter players who dislike in-game

Advantages they can also be fairly difficult to unlock it can take some time which players would rather invest elsewhere however alex stands today hypixel is one of the only if not the only server where you can join you go to seize at any time like a mini game as

All other UHC is outside of hypixel are scheduled or signup based 5 pixel UHC is also relatively popular still often seeing upwards of 500 players but alas he has big issues often talked about by longtime UHC players and UHC content creators the game mode is overrun by cheaters whether they are blatant or

Closet cheating it doesn’t matter as there are so many too often you’ll be watching a youtuber play you see on hypixel and they’ll start complaining about the ramp and cheetah problem the server has will quickly try and report somebody in-game in hopes that they are banned before they kill everyone

This is frustrated many players who have quit or moved on to games as a result so where is the HC today or to say the least it’s nowhere near as popular as it used to be and this is due to multiple reasons like many other competitive minecraft game modes which are based

Around PvP the game mode is stuck in version 1.7 and 1.8 as in 2016 1.9 was released changing the combat mechanics for the worse this means yosi’s can start to get repetitive or stale as they never feature any new minecraft content causing most players to lose interest as

Well as that minecraft began on a downwards decline during 2016 and many players may have lost interest or switch to another game such as fortnight or overwatch some people who began on UAC went professional in these games such as Dante who went pro in overwatch many UFC servers which were once popular also

Shut down making it harder to find and play games and cheaters became an even larger problem on the few servers which did stay up some players also believe that UHC is just a flawed game mode and once people finally figured out how to play it properly it got boring as the

Game became much more slow pace as players would mind for most of the game instead of fighting fights also became more about using a ball and running a list of our actual melee combat which many players found boring if I had to give my own opinion I think it’s the

Lack of ability to update to new Minecraft versions and the game becoming frustrating or boring over time HIDA lack of proper competitive MMR system as well as cheetahs running multiple games over and over what’s left then well hypixel is the go-to place VHC still and the reddit community is still somewhat

Active you can go to the reddit you HTC’s calendar website and see that there are still plenty of scheduled games which you can play but most of these scheduled games have quirks or modifications and unload longer vanilla as it seems that most players are bored or sick of vanilla you HCS surprisingly

Enough some UHC youtubers such as ex in astoria are doing relatively well especially with youtube you see such as united you see still running occasionally but many other youtubers have quit when analog and make content for minecraft so that’s the story of the UHC a game mode with rich history which

Has been around for over eight years now that seems to have faded over the last few years while you age seeds are still being run and still do see players the game way is a shadow of its former self I didn’t cover everything about you H

C’s in this video as if so the video we had gone on for too long but exness story has a great hour-long documentary about Yoshie which you may want to check out i hope you enjoyed today’s video be sure to comment any of your experiences with UHC be sure to subscribe thank you

So much for watching
