HardLimit is a Minecraft anarchy server with a limited world border and terrain that was generated in 2010. Although the server runs on Minecraft version 1.12.2, it is joinable from newer versions. The overworld of this server is ~50K while the Nether and End are 6k.
The overworld spawn area is comprised of mostly pre-2011 chunks, downloaded from a creative server called 337Studios.com. There are many builds with signs to be explored as well as chests with loot from pre-beta 1.8 (including stacked tools and armor!).
Many of the builds found within the HardLimit server were completed with the help of worldedit, so you may find some bedrock, diamond, gold and iron structures around the map. You should gather the blocks, as they will be useful. ;) There are also some custom crafting recipes that give you vanilla items that you may find useful on your travels.
