Test.2b2t.org

test.2b2t.org is the IP of a series of official experimental anarchy servers under the 2b2t subdomain for testing changes to the main 2b2t server. It is currently open for the third time, re-opened on June 18, 2021, in version 1.16. It had previously been on version 1.12.2 after the server first opened on September 1, 2019, and was populated with people almost immediately when the server operator posted it in chat. It was closed in late September. It was unexpectedly re-opened from March 9 to April 12, 2021, to test 1.16, which was found accidentally and populated. It was then reopened for the third time on June 18, 2021, for further 1.16 testing. These events led players to believe 2b2t is preparing to update to 1.16. It was again reopened on September 13, 2021 but this time, on version 1.17 which is very unexpected. Then, it was again reopened unexpectedly in late of January to prepare the server to 1.18. The old 1.12.2 map from the main server was also transitioned to the test server and updated to 1.18 when it was reopened again on February 8th, 2022. Such an update would be unheard of in the server, as it has been on the same version, 1.12, since 2011. An official post on the subreddit announcing the server was posted, the first post by the server operators since 2019. It is unknown what exactly is being tested. The server is still currently on right now with version 1.18 and it is believed that the server would update to version 1.18, if not 1.19 if it can't update this year. That means that the server would skip 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.16, 1.17, and 1.18 too if the server cannot update this year.

Events

 * September 1 – The server opens and is immediately filled with around 100 people and bots due to it being announced in the main server. It experiences lots of crashes, but little lag (compared to 2b2t.org at least). Spawn becomes a chaotic warzone filled with spawnfags fighting with unenchanted Diamond Swords. Basic highways are created. The Ender Portal coords are leaked by dabigbulletz638, and the Ender Dragon is soon killed. One of the first real bases is created by YouKnowTheDeal and EllioTricks: Wesley Willis base. Several more end portals are found within a 4,000 block radius.


 * September 2 – Named and enchanted weapons and tools start to get circulated around Spawn. Spawn begins to get lavacasted and burned. Wesley Willis base is looted by PRThomas and Discusser, and the members move to a new base, "Schizo Clits". The Nether becomes super accessible and easy to navigate in a 500 block radius, resulting in many bases within a 4,000 block (Overworld) radius.
 * September 3 – Server map is reset, but is reinstated to its "old" form after some hours and temper tantrums. After another server restart, anti-bot measures are taken. This makes chat a hell of a lot easier to read. Before this people spammed the server with NFA accounts that went in and out of the server thus making it impossible to ignore them all.


 * September 4 – First mapart is made on the server, simply named ":who:". It was made by mcillanator, Albatros_, Yqe and Prismary.


 * September 5 – PRThomas and Discusser create the server's first dupe stash. This later evolves from items to shulkers containing End-game gear and kits.


 * September 6 – World seed gets cracked and later gets cracked by other people but remains private.


 * September 7 – Sunrise Farm, created by BGP1 on September 1, is proclaimed to be the biggest base. 30 stronghold coordinates are leaked by Discusser.


 * September 8 – The first effective lag machine is made by Discusser, it is capable of dropping the TPS to 8 within a minute. Seed is cracked by the Schizo Clit member BuyMyMojo (RelievedStudio) and images posted to Reddit. EllioTricks insides the sunrise farm, kills some of the players working there and fills the base with lava casts. The base then begins its 3rd reconstruction. Schizo Clits is now the largest and primary base on the temp map. PRThomas is the first person to reach 1,000 player kills.


 * September 13 – Server is changed to a copy of 2b2t's map.


 * Sometime in September – Server is down "temporarily" to prepare for the next phase.

Events

 * March 9 (roughly 14:00 GMT) – Server is back up again with a new map in 1.16, and the description in the server list being "secret 1.16 testing zone"
 * BachiBachBach posts about the server on the Infinity Incursion Discord server, and creates the 2b2t test server Discord server. The test server floods with around 100 members as the description is changed to "not-so-secret 1.16 test server"
 * March 10 – The first mapart ever locked using a cartography table is created by Yqe, mikeioannina, mcillanator, and Albatros_, simply named "amogus imposter".
 * March 15 – BarrenDome uploads a video bringing an influx of players.
 * Description changed to "1.16 testing, work in progress".
 * The server icon is seen to be tilting sideways. This has sparked conspiracy about what is happening with the test server and the main server.
 * March 19 – Yqe started a live stream showing natural terrain and clouds facing a "He Will Not Divide Us" flag made of 3×2 mapart, a remake of the Shia Labeouf live stream. Two players, Smash18 and Ic3Tank, find the location of the flag and take it down. The stream lasted 26 hours, 54 minutes, and 32 seconds.
 * March 25 – The server icon changes to be tilting more and showing fire at the bottom.
 * March 27 – The server icon is almost fully in fire with the description announcing the original world's return.
 * April 12 – The server went offline and will probably come back online for a while: Hausemaster is probably going to update 2b2t.org to 1.16.5 version of Minecraft.

Events

 * June 18 – The server opens once again for further 1.16 testing. The server description reads "continuation of 1.16 testing!". An official post is created by the server operators on the subreddit, announcing the test server, as well as information regarding the main server's downtime, the first word from u/2builders2tools since December 2019.

"further 1.16 testing, switching to original world within a week or two. this time this test server is expected to remain online for a month or up to two months, changing intermittently between the original world and this fresh world."

Spawn
Giant lavacasts and tons of bamboos, with damaged terrian. Spawn doesn't seem to be seriously damaged. For underground, ores can be found and bedrock isn't completely exposed. “The iconic lavacast seen at spawn was actually made on the very first day.” according to kz1_

Made of over 15,000 Obsidian mined from the End dimension.

The huge palace laying on the overworld spawn (0, 0) is called "Cydonia Outpost Cythe" and was designed by Killet, mainly built by Krashgamer. Carving out the lavacast and trenches were done by kz1_, beskhu, and Coose365. It was kept well until now.

The lava curtain surrounding spawn for 400 blocks square was created by beskhu.

Noob Town, located 1000, -800 was built and maintained by several regular players. Most new players would go there for the start development.

Noob Town
What became the first Noob Town was a settlement built by Lordloffar and posted on the subreddit on June 24, located at. Later, politefrostbite built walls around it.

GenesisOfEclipse, yz_chen_tw, and Coose365 arrived and worked to make it into a town. It became public and known as Noob Town. Following a massacre, another rendition of the town was made at Noobtown 2 ( in the Nether), which was again massacred.

A third Noobtown was created in the style of the Valley of Wheat. At the time, groups led by GenesisOfEclipse and yz_chen_tw were enemies, and an organized crystal PvP fight was fought by 1handryan, scottexx, and mcbirbz, versus nicktheninz, i6ex6ex, and yz_chen_tw at Noobtown 3, without any casualties.

Noobtown 4 was later created secretly on August 14, between the 7 most trusted members, and was abandoned after a few days. It was griefed on September 25.

Red City
Founded by AyrahChan, Niko_cada and dobex_x, the pre-Red City ( [Nether]) was built around July 7. Members began to grow slowly as the base was getting larger. This base contained a wither rose farm, a ghast farm and developed trading system.

August 18, bases of some active players got demolished one after another including the Asteria base. Some of them chose to live there. However, no longer after that, someone leaked the coords then the base was griefed by Nicktheninz immediately.

Red City (Nether pos -3645, -1625) was decided to be constructed on the previous built raid farm which is much closer to spawn on August 26. This time more players joined for construction, one of them is an experienced video creator whose in-game-name is ligeawa.

As it is close to spawn, even newbies can travel there easily by the two-block-wide tunnel which straight leads to the base. Like the sun at high noon, the group was getting larger, more tiny buildings in different styles appeared one after another. At this time the base got its official name  Red City .

Red City II (Nether pos -6133, -4411) was a ghast farm based base. After the grief of Red City, members moved there and declined some less-experienced players for avoiding coords leak. However, like a curse, coords was leaked during one conflict between members. On October 4, Nicktheninz and poplafoz showed up at the base. Followed by several members being killed, Red City II was turned into ruins.

Some players still chose to live under the ruins, simple shelters were made. Groups were actually broke up at that time.

Red City III (Nether pos -24859, -3566), originally miku_2333's private base. Only absorbed trusted members. On October 22, it was griefed by Nicktheninz, Youzen_tw and poplafoz.

PvP
Although grinding gears is hard on a no-dupe anarchy server like this, experienced players still look for fights at spawn. Huge and vary farms were built for items supporting. For maxed geared players, crystals and swords are the main current way of fighting. Villagers were used to access every single maxed enchant possible for PvP use. Ghast and Enderman Farms were used to manufacture all the end crystals seen today. Gold Farms were used to make the golden apples. Raid Farms were used for the totems. Overall, there are many farms needed to have a surplus amount of PvP use.

Players fight in various ways, not being limited to end crystals. Battlefields are also diverse, including lava, underwater, random field and bedrock layer. Weapons include crystal, anchor, bed, sword, bow, axe and even trident.

After the update on September 12, criticals bypass module was patched. Which makes swords less powerful than before. It also encouraged people to jump manually when making hits.

Combats last long, since players tend to disconnect instead of being killed. Sometimes fighting even lasted hours, ended up someone died or disconnected. When disconnected, the opposite team or players would usually camp for the log out spot. The longest known camp time is over 21 hours by kz1_ when trapping a guy in one of the nether tunnels.

Totem fail (not being able to switch next totem with the Auto-totem module or due to lag or anti-cheat plugin) is very common, which was being most feared by PvPers. It started to happen in mid-July 2021.
