2B2T

2B2T (short for 2builders2tools) is an anarchy Minecraft server first built by hausemaster in 2010 and has been online ever since. At last check it's about 1 terabyte in size and at least 60,000 users have logged into the server at least once.

The Worst Minecraft Server Ever

A render of 2b2t's spawn, October 25, 2012. It hasn't change much since then.

The main overreaching theme of 2b2t is that it's an anarchy server running the most vanilla version of Minecraft possible (the only mods installed are server stabilization mods and a limited number of anti-cheat mods like anti-flying, etc). There are no rules, and especially no bannable offenses, and so therefore users are free to so as they like. This usually means raiding, griefing, and killing anyone and everyone you see. There are especially no moderators or admins to bitch to because someone pissed on your My Little Pony pixel art you spent a whole week making. This means you're best off running away from spawn as soon as possible. It also means that nothing anyone says is out of bounds, so 2b2t has become Minecraft's equivalent of b or /pol/; discussion of niggers and Hitler did nothing wrong are commonplace. With all this in mind, 2b2t has been characterized as "singleplayer with chat". Furthermore, if you are killed by someone, or your base is rekt, you are still too close to spawn and need to get further away from it.

The server has had on average about 30-50 users on it at any given point, with sometimes peaking to 80ish whenever a link is posted on reddit, or sometimes down to less than 10 when the server lag is atrociously slow. Pffft... fucking whiners.

2b2t timeline, at least according to one person's own perspective, who is not a legend of the server no matter what people say

TheCampingRusher

On June 1st, 2016, YouTube Let's Player, TheCampingRusher, made a video where they explore 2b2t and expose the server's existence to their huge fanbase, exploding the average user count to well over 200. Since then the server placed a 150 user limit and a 500+ user waitlist, while all the oldfags are hanging out at spawn trying to kill all the newfags which discovered the server through TheCampingRusher.

Not pictured: 3 hours of sitting, clicking "Back to server list", then clicking "Join Server" every 30 seconds. ...if you're stupid enough not to have the client do it for you, that is.

The fact that this has happened has basically dominated any and all discussion of 2b2t, and will do so for a long time. It'll be a long time before things return "back to normal"... and some oldfags are looking forward to that.

3b3t

rip in piece

Back in 2014, 2b2t was having lag issues which were extremely unbearable, even by 2b2t's own standards (a good day in 2016 was maybe 14 TPS). So apart from setting up 2b2t on a new map, another server was set up called 3b3t. It stayed up even after the original 2b2t lag issues were resolved, but has since gone offline.

Given the recent TheCampingRusher newfag surge, it would be nice if 3b3t came back... hint hint

Coords To Cool Places

This will be a nice reservoir of cool places on the server, even if its in a ruined state. Included with the coords (given in X,Z format) is a description of what you'll find there. (-,- = North West, -,+ = North East, +,- = South West, +,+ = South East)

• (0,0): Spawn. In the past there was a Nether Portal out of Spawn, but it has since been removed to prevent TheCampingRusher newfags from escaping Spawn easily
