Done Died in ruins twice, each time i respawned at my base without using a sync.

i was looting a reactor and died, luckily i had the great idea to remember the coordinates before i went inside.
so i returned and died a second time.
each time i didn't lose my island or syncs, but when i do /mode it says i'm on hardcore.

i'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but i'd rather not randomly lose my island when i log on one day.

 

I do not have any kind of chunk loader, i guess i should work towards getting one then.
