2b2t

2builders2tools, 2b2t.org or often abbreviated to 2b2t, is a Minecraft anarchy server run by server operators Hausemaster and georgebush420. It has been up since December of 2010, making it the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft and one of the oldest servers in general. It is often dubbed as the worst server in Minecraft. It has been covered by a multitude of news organizations and the real-world media.

In June of 2016 a large influx of players was caused by a YouTuber named "TheCampingRusher." He went onto make a series throughout the summer of 2016, causing a waiting queue to be implemented. In the following years, 2b2t would be subject to massive influxes and hit its peak interest in the Spring of 2020.

The IP is 2b2t.org, formerly 2b2t.net. Enter with caution.

Origins
According to records, Hausemaster would play on a Team Fortress 2 server dubbed "2fast2furious" or commonly shortened to "2f2f" in the late 2000s. In late 2009, Hause opened up a server in Garry's Mod, a sandbox game, with the premise of no rules and with players doing whatever they pleased. He experimented with multiple modifications during this time.

Early History
In December of 2010, Hausemaster opened 2b2t along with his friend georgebush420 just a few months after Minecraft multiplayer's release in August. George had bad internet connection at the time, so Hause hosted 2b2t and currently is the more prominent and well-known administrator, although is aided by George mostly from a technical standpoint. The server began to be advertised on 4chan and SomethingAwful forums alongside others.

Beginning of Player Activity
Although nothing much happened in December 2010, it is known in 2011 several occurrences started to take place. The NFE (Negative Fourhundred Eighthundred) spawn base, possibly one of the most notable spawn bases ever on the server, was founded in an abandoned castle by alex0208 and xcc2, the former quitting after a few months and the latter going onto being highly respected by the community.

In April of 2011, chezhead made a post on the Facepunch forums on how legendary the server was, bringing mass attention from the forums to the server. Chezhead quickly formed a "republic," and set up a governing system. On April 28th, 2011, griefer and 4channer Luke2thebun pillaged Camp Facepunch, one of the first Facepunch settlements, ultimately cultivating into the Facepunch War which consumed the server for about a year. Throughout this time, the 2b2t comics would be issued by THEJudgeHolden, 2b2t would get backdoored by popbob leading to the founding of Plugin Town (a town which took advantage of the backdoor and used loads of hacked in items), and a major group on the server, The Judge's Group, would get their One Million base griefed in February of 2012.

Server Decline
The server suffered a mass decay which involved multiple events contributing towards the eventual downturn and enveloped nearly all of 2012 and early 2013. After the Facepunch Republic ended, the majority of the server's population, Facepunchers and 4channers, left due to boredom and/or the loss of the "war." Nearly no activity was present during this time besides the creation of Imp's Base, home to the now-famous Christ the Redeemer statue.

Rebound
When Valkyria was founded, it was considered a turning point for the server. Spawn Invasions, often referred to as Incursions, took place, as well as a great deal of activity from the Valkyria group. The server also suffered a second backdoor by Pyrobyte and iTristan which was used to get to the World Border.

The Valkyria group incorporated many active groups on the server such as the Black Flag Group and also created many bases. This time in the server's resurgence was also contributed to by the Vortex Coalition being founded and many subsequent actions taking place from Valkyria's creation.

Late 2015/Early 2016
In Late 2015/Early 2016, rumors of 2b2t being backdoored by Nerds Inc. began to circulate, and soon it was revealed that a Chinese database leak incorporating the passwords to many accounts across the globe were leaked all across the internet. One of the two server operators, georgebush420, had his account hacked into which caused mass panic and the destruction of many bases. Hausemaster refused to press charges but from March to May 2016, the server had reached an all-time low of 1-10 players online at peak hours due to many players migrating away from 2b2t due to the crisis.

All-Time Fame
Following a YouTuber named TheCampingRusher making a video on 2b2t on June 1st, 2016, the server had new all-time fame. It became infamous overnight and was flooded by Rusher's fans. War consumed the server between the older and newer players, and 2b2t was subject to many YouTube and media organizations covering it even to this day. It currently has a waiting queue to get into the server, has low TPS, and is constantly active at any given time. It reached an all-time peak in the Spring of 2020 due to a mass influx of players coming from COVID-19 Quarantine, the YouTube algorithm promoting the server, and the dangers of the real world due to protests and health dangers all forcing people inside.

Statistics
456,213 players have joined the world 2b2t is on. It has been on the same world for 9 years and 3 months and has 7468 GB worth of data stored.
