Harritaco

harritaco is a digger and notable player on 2b2t. He is a member of the Motorway Extension Gurus and is part of one of the largest projects in survival minecraft.

History
harritaco first learned of 2b2t from one of his friends in high school in 2012. He played for a couple months then, mostly just playing classic survival and not interacting with many other players. Back then, when he first started, he spent time near spawn hunting for melons and basic gear. Once he had that he phased on top of the nether roof and would walk AFK in a random direction for hours. Eventually he set up a small base, and then he stopped playing after a few months, and intermittently came back throughout high school. He has spent a long time trying to find the coordinates to that original base but so far has had no luck. He started playing again in March of 2020 when FitMC showed up in his YouTube recommended and he decided to watch one of his videos to see how the server had aged since then. When he came back to 2b2t, he used a similar tactic to the one he used in 2012, but obviously nether roof travel was not a viable option since Hause enabled plugins that kill you instantly while you are on top of it. It didn't take him long to get out of spawn, and he used side roads on the highways to get around. Highways were more dangerous then as an elytra fly bypass was available to use, so a lot of Spawnfags would fly around the highways killing newer players. He went out hundreds of thousands of blocks away from spawn to gear up and figure out what to do. He discovered MEG while looking around for groups to join. At the time it consisted of Illville502, Citadel2222, DantezWrath, and KevinKC2014. He reached out to Citadel on Discord to see what they were working on, and to let him know that he was new and was looking for a project to help out on. At the time, Citadel, Dantez, Kevin, and illville were still digging the -x -z highway to World Border. Citadel invited him, and let him know that he'd need to gear myself once he got there until they wanted to add him in.

Motorway Extension Gurus
At the time, harritaco was in a different quadrant, so he killed back to spawn to start walking all the way to the dig site on the -x -z. After the first day or so of walking he ran into a geared player on the highway. They chatted for a bit, and the geared player gave him a kit. This kit contained the first elytra harritaco had on the server, and he used that to cover the remainder of the distance to the dig site, and mined quartz to mend the elytra when needed. He eventually caught up, and assisted Citadel, illville, and Dantez with the -x -z until its eventual completion in May 2020. In the final weeks of the dig, he decided to make an alternate account to dig another project as he wanted MEG's momentum to keep going after the -x -z was finished. The alternate account, which was named harritaco began digging the +x +z highway in early May 2020 and it was later joined by Jonanen, and KevinKC2014. Since then he has gone onto help with many MEG projects. As a part of MEG he has mostly been responsible for the base and supply logistics for the group, this includes setting up bases, moving shulkers of pickaxes around, coordinating supply restocks with other diggers. and more! The projects harritaco has participated in on behalf of MEG are as follows:


 * digging the -x -z World Border diagonal highway
 * digging the +x +z World Border diagonal highway
 * digging and paving the 125K Nether Ring Road
 * digging the 250K Nether Ring Road
 * digging the 500K Nether Ring Road
 * digging the -z World Border highway
 * World Border Ring Road project (still pending completion as of July 6th 2021)
