Getting Started

Welcome to 1Hour 1Life!
Here, every life is an adventure, and your story begins the moment you step into the light.

The Council: Your First Stop

When you first join the server, you’ll find yourself in the Council—our server’s lobby and the place where all new journeys begin. Take a moment to look around, gather your thoughts, and get ready for what’s to come.

Step Into the Light

Ready to start your new life? Find the Beacon beams—those glowing pillars of light are your gateway to the world.
Step into the light, and your adventure will begin!

Birth and New Beginnings

Once you’ve stepped into the light, you’ll be brought into the world either as a baby to another player or, if no parents are available, you’ll start your journey as a child in the wilderness.
As a child, you’ll be the founder of a new family, ready to carve out your place in the world.

Life Phases: Growing Up

As you progress through the game, you’ll go through multiple life phases—from a helpless baby to a sturdy child, a capable adult, and eventually, a wise elder. Each phase brings new challenges and opportunities, so make the most of every moment.

The Final Chapter: Old Age

Life on 1Hour1Life is precious, but it’s also fleeting. You’ll live to the ripe old age of 60, at which point you’ll pass away, making room for the next generation.
But don’t worry—your legacy lives on through the family and the world you’ve helped shape.
