The hardest part of hardcore seems to be the early game. How hard it is varies a lot with your starting location. I keep getting easy seeds. Some are easy mode because you start next to some sheep and immediately get a bed. Another started next to 2 pirate ships full of iron so I immediately had iron armor. Used the armor to run into a pillager outpost and grab a crossbow from the chest, only taking 1 heart of damage.I set myself the challenge of building a village in a hardcore world with no structures. I built a mob farm and cured some zombie villagers by getting a trapped witch to throw weakness splash potions.What have you done to make hardcore harder?
