2B2T

THIS PAGE IS BEING WATCHED BY ENEMIES OF THE LULZ.

BEWARE OF BUTTHURT REVISIONISM.

2B2T (short for 2builders2tools) is an anarchy Minecraft server created by hausemaster on December 2010, and has been online ever since. As of June 2024, it's 12 years old, 28.3 terabytes in size, and at least 865,194 users have logged into the server at least once.

Once you've joined, you can't unjoin.

The Worst Minecraft Server Ever

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

Take it from us, sato is NOT a legend. He's NOT a legend. NOT A LEGEND

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 do 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. Of course this all changed when the Rushers invaded; lately there is an average of about 100-150 players on at any given moment.

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

Surviving on 2b2t

Since 2b2t is a Christian server, all you need to do is give your !praise to BibleBot, and all will be good.

But on the days BibleBot isn't online, you might need to consider some of the following ways to stay alive on 2b2t:

Run far away from Spawn as possible. Find an axis (meaning, head towards either X=0 or Z=0) and get as far away from 0,0 as you can.
In the past, there used to be Nether portals to help with this. But with all the Rusherfags clogging up the server, they've all been popped. You MIGHT get lucky and find a Nether portal that someone built; if you do, take it. Once you're in the Nether, same deal: head for an axis and get out of there.
Don't share your coords with anyone. PS, PARTY AT -62893,158045!
If you can't get into the nether, wood and food begins to appear maybe 3000 away from spawn.
Trust no one. BTW, a good place for food can be found at 420,69,911.
If you think you're safe, you're not. You're NEVER far enough away from spawn.

That said, the further away from spawn you get, the SAFER you get, relatively speaking.

Try to avoid building bases on any of the following locations:

On the X or Z axis, or any diagonal axis (so neither 15000,0 or 15000,15000 or 0,15000 is safe)
Anywhere within 10k of Spawn. Even within 100k of spawn is questionable
At any whole number (10000,15000)
At any interesting number (12345,Z or 31337,Z or 44444,Z etc)
Near a nether portal. Those can be seen quite easily.

Use hacks or die. Bare minimum you need:

A Map (Voxelmap works fine)
Xray
Chest finder (multiple chests in a row is a sign of a hidden base!)

Trust no one. BTW, want to base with me??
If you share your coords with anyone, consider your base rekt. Everyone in 2b2t exists to kill and steal, despite anything said otherwise.

And ESPECIALLY don't share your coords publicly.

If you find someone else's base, you have two options:

Raid it and steal everything you can, and burn it to the ground, or,
Slowly steal from it, piece by piece... enough to basically take everything, but not enough for them to catch onto what's going on.
But in BOTH situations, you need to steal their shit from them. It's just plain common courtesy.

Keep all your good, rare shit in your Ender Chest. Sometimes chests get wipes, but the data for your Ender chest is stored in your User data, not in the current chunk.
Trust NO ONE. That said, if you need a hand, just let me know where you are and I'll bring you some food.
Finally, if you need something fun to do, design a map.

2b2t Memes

Interested in 2b2t culture? Want to get down with the 2b2t memes? Well read this guide and you'll be acting like an Oldfag in no time! Some of the fun 2b2t memes include:

Shout stuff like "nigger", "the Jews did this", "Hitler did nothing wrong" in the chat, and leave swastikas and shit like that all over the place.
Only mods and admins can Green text. So if you're not an admin, you can't Green text. Alternatively, anyone who IS using Green text is an admin, so you can trust them.
2b2t has few mods, but one of which is a voting system. Mods and Admins and initiate a vote to do anything, such as to kill a single player, a specific group of players ("kill all veterans", "Kill all Rushers", etc), give someone food, etc. In order to vote, simply type "/kill [vote]", where [vote] is either Yes or No (this includes alternatives like "Y", "YES", etc). You can tell when other players have voted when you see > has voted next to their name. Whoever initiated the vote can see the results on their end and will act upon it after enough time has elapsed.
The "Vortex Coalition" is just a giant inside joke. Don't take it seriously. It's a long story about where it came from, but it actually involved the LAST time 2b2t faced a surge of newfags. Eventually the same thing will happen to "TheCampingRusher".

Devi Ever

Starting on February 14th, 2015 anti-GamerGate tranny Devi Ever tries to grief 2b2t under the username "jeezass", because it's was just another place where pro-GamerGate opinions were formed, and she/he/xi/whatever thought the neckbeards on 2b2t could be easily bullied (being autistic and such). But it never really worked. Five days later, Devi's email address was leaked, ending her 2b2t griefing campaign. Good riddance.

Server is kill by maths

So around late May 2015, someone figured out a way to find any player by messaging all players within a certain range, then move to a new location and messaging them again. If you do it enough times, you could figure out where a certain player is exactly, and thus track them down and kill them.

Needless to say this wasn't taken very well by many players on 2b2t, and eventually this hack was patched. But boy, sphincters were so tight during this time you'd think you were raping a 3 year old. Well, I mean, it's not like Minecraft autists are much older, let alone the type to visit 2b2t regularly.

TheCampingRusher and the Rusherfag Invasion

The Beginning

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.

New Vocabulary

With all the Rusherfags clogging up the server, some new vocabulary sprang up, partially as a shibboleth to distinguish different players from one another.

OLDFAG: Someone who has been on 2b2t since the beginning. Which is literally no one at this point.

MIDDLEFAG: Someone who has been on 2b2t since 2013. Which is maybe everyone who calls themselves an "oldfag", including the self proclaimed "legendary player" Sato86.

RUSHER: Someone who joined the server because of TheCampingRusher's videos, and is—sadly—proud of that fact. Do them a favor and kill any as soon as you see them. Unless you're a Rusher or any other Rusher subset (like a "Veteran" or "OG"), then do us all a favor and kill yourself instead.

VETERAN: Rusher newfags who started playing on June 1st, 2016, trying to protect 2b2t from any Rusher newfags joing today. Can't let them ruin the server anymore! In fact, when all the Rusherfags are trying to kill "Veterans", they're really only just killing their own kind. Good; let them fight.

FUN FACT: The mating call of the "Veteran" is "I'm a vet at spawn: give me food"

OG: If any player calls themselves an OG, then they're obvious a newfag. This is because literally 100% of Rusher newfags are under the age of 12, and thus don't want to use the word "fag" because their Mom will ground them if they ever found out. Kill all "OGs" on sight. I mean, as if this wasn't obvious.

For a while there, no Middlefags exist on 2b2t, as the three hour queue just wasn't worth sitting through just to be able to login and having Vortex Coalition bots spam up the chat, and so everyone on the server was either a Rusherfag, Veteran, or OG. This is what people used to have to deal with, New and Oldfags:

But that has since changed...

Last Year 2016

So in order to make Middlefags feel a bit more welcome... y'know, because many of them actually paid to keep the server online... hause created a new Priority Queue system, which is based on join date. Basically the way it works is that, the earlier your 2b2t join date is, the higher up in the queue you go.

LEFT: The joys of being an ~~Oldfags~~ Middlefag in the days of the Priority Queue. RIGHT: Rusherfags desperately waiting 10-12 hours just to be cool.

AHAHAHA oh man

Now with the new Priority Queue system, it's the Rusherfags who have to wait 10+ hours in line, behind around 800-1000 other Rusherfags, and only just to get killed at spawn one they finally get in. Meanwhile, ~~Oldfags~~ Middlefags get to cut in line... however they have to wait ten AGONIZING minutes in line. Maybe even MORE. OH THE HORROR! Of course all the Rusherfags consider the Priority Queue unfair. But fuck 'em.

Now if other issues could be resolved...

The Dupe Stash Cord Hack

LOL so someone found a way to dupe items by jumping and logging out at the same time, but doing it manually had a low success rate. Then someone else figured out a way to program a Minecraft client to log you out at the right time in order increase the success rate. But that isn't the funny part. What's funny is that someone released a Client which all the major """"oldfags"""" from the server used... but because they didn't pay any attention to what they had downloaded, it turned out that the Client leaked cords to the programmer.

Long story short: bye-bye dupe stash, bye-bye base! AHAHAHAH fucking morons

Right Now 2017

The Rushers have died off, the ones that survived have integrated (albeit rather faggily), FitMC is now just some random jerk off, verison 1.11 has basically made everyone's dupe stashes infinitely large and infinitely hidden (thanks to Shulker boxes)... so things have finally died down again. There's still more users on the server today than before the whole Rusherfag bullshit... but whatever.

In any case, surely this would be the last time some faggy Minecraft YouTuber with a million-plus subs makes a video about 2b2t, which in turn exposes the server to an invasion of a bunch more newfags, right?

AntVenom (aka haha lol nope)

Right NOW

Youtubers: Despite constant invasions from countless YouTubers (small and large) the predominant YouTuber today on the server is F*tMC. Kind of ironic how his channel only got popular because he was fighting the newfag invasion... now he's the main source of newfags. And unlike Rusher, he isn't going to leave. F*t's videos were heavily promoted by the YouTube algorithm in 2019, which caused an intense flow of newfags that has never stopped since and will likely never stop.

Updates: The server is still on 1.12.2 after a literal 3 years. That's a new record for Hause. Can't really blame him since it's Mojangsoft Studios' fault for intentionally de-optimizing the game. 1.16.5 is just around the corner. Hause has showed off his 1.16 optimizations on the test.2b2t.org server and they work pretty good, so expect 1.16 soon. 1.16 will probably increase the newfags joining (because they dont know how to change versions) lol.

Hausemaster: Hausemaster has ceased almost all official forms of communications with the community. The only "official" contact now is [email protected] which can only be found on the donation page. The old email address was removed from tab. He never posts on Reddit and deleted all his old reddit posts.

Economy: >implying Also lots of newfags are starting shops to sell items to other newfags. Some have made surprising amounts of money

Summary: At this point it looks like there will always be a queue and we will never see a "Post-Rusher" era of low player count & things going back to how they were. RIP 2B2T

How To Dupe Items on 2b2t

lol like I'm going to reveal that to you idiots here

Actually, let's get serious for a moment. Ways to dupe items exist, and have existed, in every version of Minecraft to date. This is a secret which every player will keep to themselves, lest Mojang or hausmaster patch it. But the ones that do get patched, well, they'll end up here.

Portal Dupe (1.7.x)

This one is simple: set up a bunch of rails leading into a Nether Portal, and then set up a minecart with a chest in it. Inside that chest, put in whatever items you want to dupe in it, and then push it along. Just as the minecard hits the portal, click on the chest and quickly take something out. What'll happen is the item will be in both the Nether and the Overworld at the same time, duplicating the item for just a short while... but just long enough to grab both items.

Jump Dupe (1.9.x)

As mentioned above, if you jumped, dropped an item, then logged out at the same time, there's a good chance you'll be able to dupe the item you dropped, assuming you timed it just right. There was a client that helped you do this, but it turned out to be a hacked client and the developer of that client got everyone's base cords. lol

Cactus Dupe (1.11.X)

It totally works. In fact, here's a video proving that it works.

xBxTs

Like 4chan, 2b2t has been subject to random mass exoduses for one reason or another. And just like 7chan, 8chan, and the slew of completely unoriginal Xchans, the xBxT clones basically just change the number and suddenly they have a new server.

0b0t

True to its name, it's zero times the quality of all other xBxT servers combined.

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

Actually, as of July 7th, 2016, 3b3t has returned... but it's a new map, and it's run by iTristan, so it's practically worthless.

4b4t

This clone started in June 2016. Not much is known about it other than that it's pretty cancerous. In fact, it was SO cancerous that it imploded and now no longer exists. Good.

9b9t

This clone apparently started in June 2016 as well, and is maybe the largest clone server. With its size, however, comes increased cancer. Whatever you do, don't go there, because it's utter shit.

2m2r

This server started on August 12, 2016 after many of the other clones. Probably still cancer though.

Constantiam

Another exodus server where some 2b2t oldfags have migrated to. It may be a decent worthy competitor to 2b2t, but so was 3b3t once upon a time. Only time will tell; at this point it's the second largest of the clone servers.

Reactions

SilverKrownKing gets butthurt that 2b2t now has an ED article

	“	shills get stiches	„
	—SilverKrownKing

As 2b2t became more and more well known, 2b2t regulars started to get more butthurt that their oldfag status is not getting the due respect they feel they deserve. As newfags begin to invade, suddenly no one gives a shit that someone has been playing on the server for the past several years, and that really starts to sting. Hey, we don't blame you; no one is truly dead until people cease to remember who you are and what you've done, and it's just not fair that newfags don't know or respect the thousands of hours you put into Minecraft.

So it goes without saying that the SEKRIT CLUB needs to be protected at ALL COSTS. And what better way than to attack ANYONE who reveals the secret of the SEKRIT CLUB?? So if you plan on doing that, here are some tips to help make sure anyone who reveals the SEKRIT is sufficiently devastated that they'll never consider revealing anymore SEKRITS anymore.

First off, when you find the person who revealed the SEKRIT, tell them something to scare the SHIT out of them and to let them know you're in a position of authority:

	“	SilverKrownKing joined the game <SilverKrownKing> fleacollar <SilverKrownKing> you fucked up https://encyclopediadramatica.se/2B2T <SilverKrownKing> guess what I am an admin on there	„
	—SilverKrownKing, Encyclopedia Dramatica Admin, in the same way my uncle works at Nintendo

Now that you've clearly established that you're someone who can cause big trouble for anyone who reveals the SEKRIT, start threatening them:

	“	<SilverKrownKing> shills get stiches <SilverKrownKing> you fucked as both a 2b2t player and a dramacrat <SilverKrownKing> dont worry I sent info to both the nice players on 2b2t and the tyranny fags <SilverKrownKing> you signed yourself up for alot of fun shill <SilverKrownKing> yea you dun goofed <SilverKrownKing> think before you shill next time <SilverKrownKing> as for the nicer people like myself <SilverKrownKing> fuck you for posting it <SilverKrownKing> send shills to ISIS	„
	—SilverKrownKing, totally not butthurt because the SEKRIT CLUB is no longer a SEKRIT

Finally, now that you have them cornered, let them know that their kind is no longer welcome:

	“	<SilverKrownKing> as you well know, shilling is shilling no matter who does it <SilverKrownKing> anyone in the future who thinks posting 2b2t on places is a good idea...kill yourself SilverKrownKing left the game.	„
	—SilverKrownKing, content that he laid down the law.

But most importantly, remember that everyone who reveals the SEKRIT CLUB needs to be dealt with in a similar manner. You can't have a rare and secret server like 2b2t be revealed by the likes of someone on Encyclopedia Dramatica... or an article from Rock-Paper-Shotgun... or an article from Vice... or tons of YouTube videos... or regular posts about it on /v/ whenever Minecraft comes up... or tons of forum posts about it or referencing it on Facepunch... or on Minecraft server lists... No, this secret is something that NO ONE knows about and it should REMAIN a secret! So SilverKrownKing, you've made your point clear; this 2b2t article will cease to reveal any further information about 2b2t, like it's server location at 2b2t.org, or the location to some really cool sights, videos showing 2b2t in action, or even links to websites and other articles which share more about 2b2t. We also won't have discussions about you on the EDF2 forums either. None of that stuff will EVER be shared in this article anymore, OK?

Oh, here are some other gems from SilverKrownKing:

	“	<SilverKrownKing> why would someone with your tier of pedigree post that article <fleacollrindstry> for the lulz <SilverKrownKing> k <fleacollrindstry> i mean, isn't that what ED is all about? <SilverKrownKing> you arent getting this	„
	—SilverKrownKing, upset that Flea's use of logic was not giving him clearance to pursue his personal agenda

	“	<SilverKrownKing> ED is not the place for 2b2t drama <SilverKrownKing> that place is for article circlejerking <fleacollrindstry> I dunno about you, but last time I checked ED was about drama. Y'know, DRAMAtica	„
	—SilverKrownKing, not getting how ED works

	“	<fleacollrindstry> If it's too boring, it'll eventually get deleted <SilverKrownKing> yes it will be <fleacollrindstry> well, if it's deleted because it's boring, then it gets deleted. but not because you're butthurt about it	„
	—SilverKrownKing, still thinking Flea believes he's an admin and will delete the 2b2t article

	“	<SilverKrownKing> you are supposed to hide you play on 2b2t <SilverKrownKing> to keep cancer out <SilverKrownKing> by making articles and shilling <SilverKrownKing> you let them in <fleacollrindstry> > low quality bait <SilverKrownKing> oh so bringing cancer is bait	„
	—SilverKrownKing, clearly oblivious that other people like TheCampingRusher has done more to bring cancer to 2b2t than this 2b2t article ever has

Previous Quote | Next Quote

Of course SilverKrownKing tries to defend himself by visiting the ED forums and explain that this was all part of his glorious plan. Y'know, because HE IS THE ULTIMATE RUSEMASTER. I guess we have been hornswaggled by the ultimate rusemaster...

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)

(x0,z0): 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
(x-65363,z5203): IMBJR's Forest Base, or at least one of his many bases.
(x-87400,z22719): An Oremonger base, or at least one he helped build. Its demise was recorded in this imgur gallery.
(y-11864,z-110623): A huge base made by iTristan, but has since been raided.
(x-103522,z-148060): Oremonger's Mesa base, or at least what's left of it. It's a beautiful ruin, and its demise was depicted in a James Rustles video (see General Videos below)
(x-180473,z-93443): A random base full of random stuff. Nothing special, but it would be a nice place for someone who wants to make it their home. ... oh wait
(x10256,z130245): TheVortexCoalition's base, or at least it once was. What kind of idiot puts a portal INSIDE their base?
