Extra Hard Mode
Extra Hard Mode changes the game rules to create NEW, INTERESTING CHALLENGES for players who have mastered the core game. Unlike Mojang's "hard" mode or other plugins' "hardcore" modes which just punish you more for making mistakes without actually changing game mechanics, Extra Hard Mode delivers interesting new challenges for advanced players.

Recommended Plugins
- Make tree logs and branches fall when chopped with GraviTree. Set "FallingLogsDamagePlayers" to true in its config for an extra challenge!
- For anti-grief, avoid plugins that disable explosions entirely, because that will undermine the cave-in mechanic and the new improved TNT.
- Avoid plugins which allow players to teleport themselves out of danger when they're in combat or lost. Especially avoid plugins which add commands like /home, /back, and /tpa, since they will undermine the difficulty VERY much. Consider instead a teleportation plugin like Population Density, which allows players to teleport only between teleportation posts it places on the surface every 400 blocks.
- You might want to look into balancing villagers. Having diamond gear tradable for very easily farmable materials will undermine the difficulty. I use Rebalance Villagers to make the trades harder.
Metrics
This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
- Config options that are activated, allowing me to see what people use (or don't)
You can disable the stat collection via /plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml if you wish. If you want to see the stats, you can go here

I just keep getting this error over and over again. A lot.
http://puu.sh/dfVuo/845cb47419.png
The only problem i got now is that the scoreboard system is not working. It gives errors.
I know is not a big deal. But it helps the members really great. So i want is on.
(still running 1.7.10)
I've tested EHM on our Spigot 1.8 dev server (waiting on a few plugins to update before pushing to production) and everything seems to work without an issue. What issue are you running into?
@Diemex
In february! I cant leave my server on 1.7.... Im running bungeecord.
So that means this plugin is dead....
@Diemex
Sounds well and good. I've exams coming up, too. Not sure what it would take, as most of the features seem to be working for Spigot. I'm also fairly certain that the Spigot project won't get DMCA'd, but I could be wrong as I can't say that I haven't seen people trying.
@JehZirO
Probably doesn't have to be a complete overhaul. I haven't really looked into it. For the moment I'm not going to do anything, as I'm waiting if spigot is going to get dmca'd or not. In february I definitely have time again, before that I have to focus on exams and stuff. But maybe I get something done over the christmas holidays.
@Diemex
Well, does it have to be a complete overhaul in order to work?
Hi there, is this setup and ready to go for 1.8 spigot?
@Dutch_Boy
Maybe in february 2015.
Spigot 1.8 came out a few days ago. Are you going to update the plugin?
My members love this plugin.
@iRankitude
GriefPrevention is by bigscary, he still develops it. Bigscary isn't actively developing extrahardmode anymore. You should just avoud some plugins that *completely* disable tnt explosions which GriefPrevention doesn't. Gp worked fine in the past. EHM actually has the same features regarding explosions above sealevel built in. It goes a bit beyond it by allowing you to specify different explosions size for above and beyond sealevel ;).
Is your other plugin, grief prevention, compatible with this plugin? I'm just concerned since that plugin disables tnt explosions above sea level, but this plugin explcitly says to avoid any tnt-blocking plugin.
I dont trust the plugin McPixel put here in de topic.
@Diemex
here is the link for developer version 1.7.10 :D
http://tcpr.ca/files/bukkit/bukkit-1.7.10-R0.1-20140808.005150-4.jar
Oke the message system is off. Im glad it still shows it in the chat.
I really hope your going to update this to 1.8 and maybe with some extra things in the future?
@Dutch_Boy
Well your issue is referring to spigot. I don't have a spigot jar, the last bukkit jar I got was 1.7.9-R0.3-SNAPSHOT. I can't really do much and fix issues in newer versions of cb if the jars are not on their site. I mean even the sourcecode is gone so I can't even build it myself. For now I guess you will have to live with the bugs in ehm.
II prefer if you fix the problem :)
But ill do it for now.
@Dutch_Boy
Ho into messages.yml and disable the usage of the scoreboard to display messages. Or just disable the messages.
The plugin throws out an error in console -> http://pastebin.com/wRbg4A1x
@Diemex
