My purpose is to create the ultimate unabridged and autistic timeline of 2b2t.

Sources used include:


 * The wiki itself.
 * 2b2t history videos created by FitMC and SalC1.
 * Archived data, such as old Facepunch threads.
 * /r/2b2t.
 * Anything else I can get my hands on.

This is a forever ongoing project and can be contributed to by anybody who is autistic about 2b2t history. Please note that I can not guarantee that everything on this page is 100% accurate or 100% unbiased.

2010:
December 17/20: 2b2t officially goes live on Minecraft, version Alpha 1.2.6. Precisely which date the server opened is uncertain, though December 20 appears to be the most likely date. Hausemaster and georgebush420 are the server's operators.

2011:
Unknown: The Valley of Furnaces is built.

Between January and April: The 4channers group is formed. Early in 2b2t's history, the server was prominently advertised on 4chan, especially its /v/ and /b/ boards. During this time, approximately 70% of the 2b2t userbase originated from 4chan, while the remaining 30% consisted of an unknown distribution of Facepunch, SomethingAwful, DeviantArt, and Reddit users.

Early 2011: Hausemaster is active on the server. He teleports to random players and gives them free shit.

April: Construction on Old Town begins.

April 26 (approx.): Chezhead joins 2b2t and discovers the ruins of a griefed castle. He creates a small base with Mattyyy and Coolity.

April 27: At 4:57pm UTC, Chezhead advertises 2b2t on Facepunch's forums, and he becomes the leader of the brand new Facepunch Republic. Facepunchers apply for membership in this thread, including one user known as Luke2thebun. Chezhead moves out of his first base, citing proximity to spawn, and establishes Camp Facepunch, probably on the same castle ruins he had discovered.

April 28: At 12:45am UTC (approx.), a user known as mweorz attacks Camp Facepunch with the help of his hacked client. Half of the Republic (approximately ten people) are killed, as well as Chezhead's dog. The event becomes known as Greyskull's Last Stand and marks the beginning of the Facepunch War. It is later discovered that mweorz is the alt account of Luke2thebun.

Facepunchers evacuate the castle and rebuild elsewhere. Hausemaster posts the first known server stats at 6:56am UTC. There have been 8164 unique players, the map size is 9.3GB, and approximately 295 ruins have been found within thirty thousand blocks of spawn. One player has reportedly walked 150000 blocks out. Speedhackers are creating so many new chunks that the 40GB SSD that houses the server is maxing out quickly. To pay for server costs and upgrades, Facepunchers pledge to donate to Hausemaster.

The new Facepunch castle is griefed at approximately 7:45am UTC.

April 29: Chezhead leaves a memorial at the remains of Camp Facepunch: "Here lies the ruins of a proud nation, made by blood, sweat, and tears. R.I.P. Camp Facepunch. Love, Chezhead."

May: After a server reset, player data is unintentionally corrupted. A number of players lose their inventories.

July: Zion is built.

July 7: Within creates the second Facepunch 2b2t thread, titled "2b2t V2: there is no FP republic". The Facepunch Republic begins to decline. By now, 37856 players have joined and the map size is 29.7GB.

July 29: THEJudgeHolden uploads the first two chapters of his 2b2t comic series.

August 14: THEJudgeHolden uploads the third chapter of his 2b2t comic series.

September 6: THEJudgeHolden uploads the fourth chapter of his 2b2t comic series.

October 9: THEJudgeHolden uploads the fifth chapter of his 2b2t comic series.

November: Old Town is griefed by popbob.

December: The First Backdoor of 2b2t occurs. popbob created a plugin for Hausemaster, and using this backdoor, gave himself permission to use the TooManyItems mod. He also gives a number of Facepunchers permissions too, including xcc2 and policemike55, meaning that they were virtually working in Creative Mode with an endless supply of blocks.

December 16: THEJudgeHolden uploads the sixth chapter of his 2b2t comic series.

December 25: THEJudgeHolden uploads the seventh chapter of his 2b2t comic series.

December 29: THEJudgeHolden uploads the eighth chapter of his 2b2t comic series.

Late December: Plugin Town begins to be built in the wake of the destruction of Passietown. The town is built using backdoor access.

2012:
January: Ziggy Town is constructed. popbob's backdoor allows builders to construct bedrock structures, such as the Bedrock Dam and the Bedrock Comet. popbob then uses the backdoor to teleport to many bases and grief them, as well as creating hacked items. Hausemaster disables/patches the plugin, ending the First Backdoor.

January 3: THEJudgeHolden uploads the ninth chapter of his 2b2t comic series.

January 13: THEJudgeHolden uploads the tenth chapter of his 2b2t comic series.

February: A revived Facepunch Republic is established by Phagocytic.

February 6: THEJudgeHolden uploads the eleventh chapter of his 2b2t comic series.

February 27: xcc2 captures footage of a bizarre lightning storm at Spawn. It turns out that Hausemaster was experimenting with weather. This is the first known instance of unusual lightning storms on 2b2t.

2012:
March: Construction of 2k2k begins.

March 25: The subreddit /r/2b2t is created.

April 4: Zion is raided and destroyed. It turns out that Phagocytic had given the coordinates to Zion to xarviar. Initially unaware that Phagocytic was now the leader of the Facepunch Republic and was promoting 2b2t on Facepunch, the discovery of the fact convinces him to leak the coordinates. He ends up on Phagocytic's exclusive TOTAL FUCKING FAGGOT LIST. Phagocytic moves the Facepunchers to 2k2k, which is later renamed Zion (though many still call it 2k2k).

June: The Facepunch Republic collapses roughly around this time, shortly after the completion of 2k2k.

July: 2k2k is obliterated and lavacasted.

July 20: Hausemaster creates the second known spawn lightning storm. The strikes are no longer focused precisely on 0,0 but strike all around the immediate surroundings. ComputerTechie captures footage of this storm. It is unknown if Hausemaster ever tested other lightning storms.

October: The Crystal Islands are founded by Offtopia and two unknown Australians. Offtopia invites CytotoxicTcell to help with construction.

2013:
April 29: Valkyria is founded, and construction of the base of Valkyria begins. This marks the beginning of the Age of Resurgence.

June: The First Spawn Incursion takes place. Hindejd, one of Valkyria’s first founders, suggests invading spawn, which Valkyria agrees to due to the fact that they are on version 1.4.7 and that everybody is equipped with duped armor, tools and weapons. The Valkyrians trek to spawn and kill all the Withers, then make their way to 2k2k and settle. However, after just a few days, the Valkyrians begin to separate and some pursue their own goals at the spawn. Griefers eventually locate 2k2k and a mass fight breaks out. Some Valkyrians die due to lack of PVP experience. After one week, the Incursion ends.

June (approx.): Coldwave accidentally leaks the Belegost base thanks to his client, forcing Valkyrians to flee. Some flee to the Rhadamantis base.

June 20: IGN mentions 2b2t. Fuck.

August: The Second Spawn Incursion takes place. Fubster builds a dirt hut that quickly transforms into a complete base of operations. The goal of the Incursion was to genocide newcomers who saw 2b2t on IGN. Thousands are killed, Valkyria reunites.

October-November: The Second Spawn Incursion ends.

December: The Second Backdoor takes place. iTristan and Pyrobyte develop a plugin that blocks access to the roof of the Nether, but they use the plugin as their backoor.

2014:
Unknown: The +Z Axis Highway reaches one million blocks.

December 15: James Rustles posts the first entry on the 2b2t blog.

2015:
April 28: The Third Incursion begins. Following the sudden leak of Asgard II's location and its subsequent griefing, pissed Valkyrians are rallied by Sato86. A volunteer base is established near spawn, but is quickly destroyed during the next week. In response, Valkyrians begin to build seven new spawn bases, each one representing a deadly sin.

May 16: Valkyrians begin construction of the Wrath Outpost.

May 31: Aureus City is established by CainesLaw and Tachrev.

June 7: The last Facepunch thread dedicated to 2b2t is closed.

2015:
August: Project Vault is established, marking the beginning of the Pre-Hype Period.

Late 2015: Using the Second Backdoor, iTristan and Pyrobyte develop the first Super Weapons. These weapons were enchanted to level 32768, or 2^15, and could one-shot any unprepared players if the Sharpness enchantment was used.

End of 2015: The Third Backdoor takes place. Someone hacks into the georgebush420 account after login credentials were found on a leaked Chinese database.

2016:
Early 2016: The Tyranny of Faggots is formed.

June: The 4th Reich is formed.

June 1: TheCampingRusher, a YouTuber with roughly 900k subscribers, joins 2b2t and makes a video of his adventures, titled “OLDEST SERVER IN MINECRAFT!!”. The publishing of the video leads many of his fans to flood into the server, causing long queues. This leads to the beginning of the Rusher War, as well as the beginning of the Age of Hype.

June 4: TheCampingRusher officially declares war on the “OGs”, the Original Gangstas, of 2b2t. Reddit user gRiNdLoRd joins 2b2t, collects supplies, and begins an expedition to (0,1000000) along the +Z Axis Highway.

November 2: The The 2b2t Wikia is founded by DoctorRobotix.

November 11: The 11/11 Dupe, otherwise known as the Jump Dupe, is discovered and leaked by RusherIsAutistic. The dupe worked by simply throwing the chosen item out of your inventory, immediately disconnecting, and then reconnecting, which would leave the item in your inventory and create a thrown dupe on the ground. Mass-duping takes place across the server.

November 17: Dark_Annihilator goes onto the 2b2t Wikia and makes his first edits.

November 19: Kinorana develops a client that simplified the 11/11 Dupe, allowing players to dupe their entire inventory. Later, it was found out that the client was backdoored, leading to many leaked stashes being raided. Other clients, such as Impact and Wurst, still enable duplication with backdooring.

November 23: The Fifth Incursion begins, bringing together Jared2013, The 4th Reich, veterans of the Rusher War, and previous Fourth Incursion fighters. Due to the eventual update to 1.11, which made escaping spawn easier, the goal was to trap players at spawn with obsidian. However, construction of the obsidian wall is hampered by withers, and Jared2013 ragequitting for a while because his stash got yoinked.

November 28: 2b2t is updated to version 1.11, killing the 11/11 Dupe.

February 11: Byrnsy is now 50% into his journey to the +X World Border (Ov. X: 15000000). He is greeted by an enormous checkpoint complete with wooden flooring and large portals. The 15 Million Base begins construction.

February 27: Byrnsy is now 60% into his journey to the +X World Border (Ov. X: 18000000). Since he had just built a 22222222 base, he chooses to leave this one undecorated. By now, plenty of diggers are helping dig the rest of the way for Byrnsy to walk.

March 9: Byrnsy is now 70% into his journey to the +X World Border (Ov. X: 21000000). The checkpoint consists of nether brick flooring, an iron and coal block "21000000", and a mushroom block signboard.

During one occasion filmed by Barrendome, iMems attempts to give shulker boxes to Etika which contained leather armor, but Etika thought it was an attempt to book-ban him. After a random disconnect, his location is identified by members of Emperium and Point Zenith, but once he logged back in, he killed himself to prevent sniping. Members of The Backstreet Boys snowball-kicked him, and eventually Etika ends the stream after being disconnected by the anti-AFK plugin.

May 26: Eta members attempt to bed trap Etika, but are thwarted by The Backstreet Boys who lag-kick them.

May 27: Etika builds the number 9, signifying the foundation of the 9 Gang. iTristan turns invisible and kills Etika after he escaped from Spawn, once again ending his stream. He later joins for another half hour off-camera, posting in chat for the first time, but the reason is largely unknown. The Purge also begins on this day with the opening of a Discord, aiming to exterminate Etika's fans at Spawn. This purge is led by policemike55, ufocrossing, HermeticLock, and TheDark_Emperor.

May 29: Etika is frequently disconnected due to the lag machines and long queue waits. He tweets that he is postponing a 2b2t stream, needing more time to establish his base.

May 30: Etika and the 9 Gang originally plan to spam the server with lag machines, but this never happens. He does give 2b2t an ultimatum: Give him 2b2t, and for two weeks he will let it be, or else he and the 9 Gang would lag the server all summer long. The Second Anti-Incursion officially begins as Killet leads members to help Etika and the 9 Gang escape Spawn.

January 13: zBeyondix continues expansion of the +X Axis Highway.

March 31: Wukan helps widen the +X Axis Highway.

April 9: jared2013 enters the wiki Discord to criticize it. Due to his ban for vandalizing the wiki, he cannot make repairs. This eventually leads to an uprising against the then-inactive Dark_Annihilator, who had not been seen since October 26th the previous year, as well as bureaucrats Rohen_Tahir and Jonathan222, most believing that their actions were damaging the wiki. A union to remove these administrators is made. Jonathan222 makes Quarnds an admin in retaliation. jared2013 and LordGalvatronMC talk to NDKilla], a steward for the wiki, and find out that they could promote themselves to supercrats while stripping Rohen_Tahir, Jonathan222, and Dark_Annihilator of their rank. This appears to happen, but both of their roles are then stripped by the Miraheze stewards, leaving [[ElliotRodger523 in charge as the sole bureaucrat. This last just a few minutes, as Dark, Rohen and Jonathan are given their bureaucrat status again.

April 10: Two pages are made to propose demotion of Dark_Annihilator, Jonathan222 and Rohen_Tahir, and to discuss what should be done with Galvatron and jared2013.

April 23: Dark_Annihilator and Jonathan222 are stripped of their bureaucrat and administrator status. Rohen_Tahir resigns on his own accord. Galvatron's bureaucrat status is restored, while jared2013 remains demoted. The staff relocate the wiki community to a new Discord server, while Jonathan222 attempts to remove the invite links because of his personal feelings about his demotion.

October 18: The Phobos backdoor begins. After members of The Emperium steal the Phobos client's code, the developers upload a backdoored 1.3.3 client to Github, along with an "updated" 1.5.4 client. Four thousand users download the program and are subsequently compromised, having their passwords, tokens and files stolen and held remotely.

October 21: 0x22 discovers the Phobos backdoor and publicises it. The developers, in a panic, quickly take down the code. Over the new few days, at least fifteen bases are griefed thanks to coordinates being obtained by the malware. One developer, Megyn, leaks some of these coordinates to Team WAO. The developers are reported to the FBI.
