Ultimate Guide to 2b2t.org

'''Welcome To 2b2t.org. The worlds worst (and 4th oldest) minecraft server. '''You are reading this page for one reason: to escape spawn, work hard, and be successful on the server. This information is 100% accurate for April, 2020.

Before You Join
2b2t is not for the faint of heart. The chat is filled with the most vile and crude text that people can come up with, and people will insult you if you are active in the chat. Try to make yourself hard to Dox, as if you get enough attention, or just let your mouth run, someone is probably gonna try to find out who you are. So don't use your IRL name as a username, don't tell people much about yourself, and don't click on suspicious links. You could even get a VPN, so people won't be able to grab your IP. If someone does get your IP, you can always change it. They will still kind of know where you live, but they won't be able to DDos you or something like that. Also, '''get a Hacked Client. However, remember not to download sketchy hacked clients!''' More info in the Hacked Clients page.

How to Escape Spawn
Spawn is a desolate wasteland filled with blown-up Lavacasts, geared spawnfags, and pits that bring you to the bottom bedrock layer of spawn. The Escape Spawn guide tells you everything on how to escape spawn.


 * 1) When you join, do /kill until you end up near a Nether Portal, and at a coordinate that is reasonably far from spawn(ex: X 1000, Z 0). The further you are from 0,0, the higher chance of survival.
 * 2) Sometimes portals will be blocked off with obsidian on the other side, in an attempt to prevent noobs (like you!) from escaping. Therefore, before entering the nether portal, you should turn on the Portals module if your client has it. (under Exploits). This will make portal traps easily escapable with a /kill, instead of being impossible to escape. (in Vanilla, you cannot open chat to type /kill while in a portal)
 * 3) Turn on Anti-Hunger. This will help you by slowing down the draining of hunger, so you can mine and walk further. Remember that some anti cheats that 2b may use try to combat Anti-Hunger. As of April 2020, this is not the case.
 * 4) If a total stranger claims they will help you, just /ignore their Username. They will not help. Especially so if you've noticed them killing other players in chat. (but if you have a prior relationship with someone who has offered to help you, take them up on it!)
 * 5) If a player starts following you, you lose a lot of health/hunger, you get trapped in a portal, the portal is suspended over lava and there's no way to proceed, or anything goes wrong, simply /kill. No shame. Just try again!
 * 6) Get up to Y=120 in the nether and head down a highway. Walk for around 10k to 20k overworld blocks, then start trying portals periodically. When you start to see trees and grass, go through, make basic tools (e.g. an axe), and start to harvest apples for food. Replant saplings.
 * 7) Do not go to any "famous landmarks" that you may have heard of, such as the Valley of Wheat or the Melon Road with the expectation of finding food or shelter. If you've heard of it, griefers have too, and there will be absolutely nothing left.
 * 8) Make a fishing rod. Get the string either from finding a spider spawner dungeon and killing a few spiders, or from cobwebs in abandoned mineshafts. You can fish automatically using the Auto Fish module. You might get kicked for AFK if you do this for too long, so walk around every once in a while and do something else.

How to Gather Resources and become Rich
'''This guide is for players that have already escaped spawn. This guide will not be in use if you have not escaped spawn.'''

After a while of walking in the nether, it's time to create a temp base for yourself. A tempbase is good for new players that need to collect resources and other materials. Here is a link to a good video on this topic by Salc1.


 * 1) Build your tempbase around 100,000 to 200,000 blocks away from spawn, and 5000 to 10000 blocks away from the Highway. Make sure to be in 1.7+ chunks or above (ex: biomes aren't messed up).
 * 2) Make a bed. This is so you will respawn at your base, and not at spawn when you die.
 * 3) Make a fishing rod and turn on Auto Fish. Autofishing is the most popular method of gaining EXP and food. (NOTE: Autofishing might disconnect you from the server, and remember to put Mending on your fishing rod so you can repair it. Also, don't wear any armor or hold any tools that have Mending).
 * 4) Create Protection 4 Armor and decent tools. This set of armor is a standard on the server, as it will make it harder for griefers/pvpers to kill you if you are on a highway.
 * 5) Create an eChest. Put things like food, tools, and wood into your eChest. If you have shulkers, you can carry more items at once.
 * 6) From time to time, a Duplication Glitch is found on 2b2t, and is used to duplicate items. Find out how to perform the duplication method to duplicate your current items. (NOTE: NEVER INSTALL CLIENTS THAT ARE MADE FOR ITEM DUPLICATION ON 2B2T. These clients are made to collect your location, and are shared across platforms such as reddit and discord). If you aren't rich, but have rich friends, you can ask them to help you get rich.
 * 7) If you have a lot of money on you, spend money on kits and tools. Vendors tend to supply things such as shulkers of totems, golden apples, and much more. WARNING: If a seller does not use paypal, do not buy from the seller, as other platforms do not allow you to refund/chargeback the seller if you didn't receive what you get.
 * 8) Prioritize what you want to duplicate/buy. Start with the essentials first (enchants, totems), and slowly move to buying blocks.

After a while, you will collect enough resources to leave your tempbase and travel farther on 2b2t.

How to build a permanent base
While considering where you want to stop, be aware that no matter where you build, there will always be a chance your base will get griefed. There are ways however, to make your base safer from being griefed.


 * 1) Always build 1250+ blocks away from the nether highway. No matter how far you are from spawn, portals are dotted throughout all highways. Many players tend to stop at these portals to obtain resources such as wood and food. By being closer to the highway, you put yourself at the risk of having your base found by wandering players.
 * 2) Cover your tracks. Make sure that if you are digging a straight pathway through the nether, fill your pathway back up with netherrack. If you mine into a quartz deposit, mine all the quartz and replace it with netherrack. Digging a straight hole through a deposit will allow people with x-ray to see that the deposit has been altered.
 * 3) Upon reaching the overworld, set a bed and destroy your portal. The safest bases have remaining tracks. Set your bed spawn in the overworld and put everything into a chest, except any diamond pickaxe. Destroy the portal, then destroy your pickaxe (jumping into lava is best). Be considerate on how much EXP you have. If you have around 30 levels, enchant random items before doing this procedure.
 * 4) The less members, the better. Solo bases tend to be the best however, as these bases are safer than other types of bases, because the risk factor of someone leaking your base is practically none. Make sure to also not post any pictures of your base.

Following these steps will reduce the chance of your base being griefed.
