Frequent HC spawns result in missing health/hunger/more

[karnak sam]

Recently died, respawned perfectly normal.

After a second, rapid death, and many consecutive deaths, kept spawning with low health and hunger levels.

Other things also seemed strange, such as being able to swim even when literally starving to death.

After some time went by, another death resulted in a 100% normal HC Spawn.

Am I missing something in the changelog? Is this a bug?

Also, sorry for the post in the release thread. I wasn't sure where to inquire about this.

When you die shortly after hardcore spawning and respawn in the same location instead of spawning far away you spawn with lowered health and hunger levels. This is an intentional feature added to make sure that it is never advantageous to intentionally kill yourself.

I'm not sure about the swimming while starving to death thing. That might be an actual bug.

I just found out it's intentional. Even stated in the hardcore hunger wiki page.

You lose swim due to low Health, not from HUNGER.
My main concern was the HC Spawn thing. Thank you for clarifying that for me.
