HoGrealms is a Minecraft server set in version 1.20 that operates within a geopolitical framework in Serbia. Players on the server are encouraged to immerse themselves in a realistic simulation where they have complete control over their creations and societal structures. The gameplay mirrors real-life scenarios, emphasizing self-governance, where players must make decisions that impact the state of their virtual environment. States and territories are determined by the actions and choices of the citizens, leading to a survival-of-the-fittest dynamic. If a state remains inactive for 80 consecutive days, it is removed from the server, allowing new settlers to take their place.
The server fosters a sense of permanence in the world players build, as all constructions are saved indefinitely. It operates as a collaborative project, with contributions from many players. To safeguard this creative output, the server employs a robust backup system, ensuring that all player creations are regularly saved on multiple drives. This method promotes a stable environment where players can explore various scenarios and outcomes over time, contributing to the evolving landscape of HoGrealms.
