 This was due to a desire to populate HC with gameplay-focused maps (common among older maps), rather than story/aesthetic based maps. There was also a wish to greater represent the server's history within HC.

+The design process for HC 12.0 began in early 2023 with the objective of building on the strengths of HC 11.0 and amending specific issues with that rotation. This design was led by pieceofcheese.
 HC 12.0's core design philosophy was the implementation of more randomisation in both the maps themselves and in the player's progression through HC. In previous rotations, staff had grown concerned that large groups were
 progressing through puzzle and maze maps together, allowing some players to bypass challenges without having to solve (or contribute to solving) them, defeating the purpose of Hardcore itself. Large groups completing HC at the same
 time also began to overwhelm the green applications system and made accurately reading logs difficult, if not impossible. Consequently, this design added several new maps with randomized features and brought back and modified
-pre-existing maps to include randomization all for the purpose of splitting up groups and making answer sharing more difficult.

 HC 12.0 retains mostly the same structure as HC 11.0, with some amendments. There was an effort to diversify the map types present in HC, with Search and Dropper maps being added. A new section, The Weave, was created, which forces players

 * One of the puzzles, Miner's Millions, was considered one of the hardest on the server. Few players completed this path.

 This was the longest version of Hardcore upon release, however many users do not consider it to be the toughest.

 many HC11.0 players got stuck at the same points - the Weave ensures that although they still complete a map-type they may struggle with, they can choose an easier map in that category and harder difficulty maps in other categories to
 compensate.

-Notably, the implementation of HC12.0 marks the longest gap between rotations in the server's history. This was mostly due to a lack of available staff to complete the project. HC12.0 also contains the reatestg number of maps total (31) and the greatest number of required maps (17) in the history of Hardcore.
