It runs on Fabric and they are clear about not using Paper fixes. The world is long term and it started on 16.02.2025 so it feels established without being reset all the time.
People on here build a lot and the builds are made by hand in survival. There is also a web map so you can check out the world.
The server is hosted in Europe in Helsinki Finland and it is running on strong hardware. They also have a strict no tolerance rule for griefing cheating and general bad behavior and they are looking for content creators too.

H1S Realm is a small whitelisted Java SMP that has been running for about three months. It is trust based and it is trying to find the right people to join.
The world does not reset so your starter house your big base and your farms stay forever. There are no land claims so everyone is expected to respect each other.
It stays close to vanilla with no warps or teleports that change the survival feel. It also has Simple Voice Chat and a few quality of life extras like grappling hooks for moving around.

It has a player driven coin economy where normal items are only traded between players. There are no in game shops for buying and selling regular Minecraft items. Coins enter the world by killing mobs and looting chests and trading is supported with a trading system and an auction house.
There is a big land claiming system so bases and farms can be protected from griefing. The twist is that if you die your claims get deleted so the land becomes unprotected.
Teleporting is limited. There is a one time randomtp that can send you to a random overworld spot and you can invite others. The other teleports are home to your respawn point and spawn to go back to Spawn.
The store is described as non pay to win with one VIP rank that is cosmetic only. There is also a revive item that works like a full account reset so you can play again without buying a new Minecraft account.

The world is a full scale Europe map so wars and expansion feel like taking real territory. You can declare wars make alliances betray other groups and fight in sieges and invasions. A lot of the building is about cities capitals fortresses and borders.
It supports cross play so Java and Bedrock players can join together. There is no forced lore so whatever happens is made by the community.
