2b2t

2builders2tools, commonly known as 2b2t, is a Minecraft anarchy server which has used the same map since its beginning in December 2010. The server is the second oldest continuously running Minecraft server, as well as the oldest anarchy server on Minecraft. Considering that this is an anarchy server, player actions are generally unfiltered, resulting in considerably toxic events to occur, such as random greifs, oddities in chat, and even large scale wars. The server has a size of over 5.5 terabytes and has had over 296,969 players in its past. The IP address to connect to it is 2b2t.org. The server has a vast history, which most of it is documented here.

On June 1st, 2016, a massive influx of players flooded the server after an infamous YouTube video took place by TheCampingRusher. The 2b2t community was unprepared as the server was experiencing never before seen decay (as low as 0-10 players online). This caused the server operators, Hausemaster and georgebush420, to implement one of the most famous aspects of 2b2t, a queue system, as the server received massive amounts of attention and traffic. The queue system is still implemented today, updated from its original iteration, and sees massive influxes of players at peak times or through current events.

On September 1st, 2019, the server operator started the test.2b2t.org server, possibly to test newer server hardware. This event lasted for a few days before shutting down.

Name
2b2t's name is derived from a Team Fortress server and Clan, 2 fort 2 furious, which in turn derived it's name from the movie 2Fast2Furious. Hausemaster was a regular player on 2f2f, which can be dated back to 2008/2009 as seen on several gameplay videos.

Server Updates
[This section is a stub; once I re-read some of the primary sources again, this section should be expanded soon]

The server's main owner, Hausemaster tends to speak about possible future plans regarding the server. In the recent years, Hausemaster will commonly post two updates every year. Some of these topics include server updates, hardware transfers, and even Server Motto additions and changes.
