ZiggyBase

ZiggyBase was a base built and abandoned in 2012. It was re-inhabited in 2014, although was found months later and griefed. The base is best known for the Bedrock Comet. Not so far away from the base is a big part of dried-up ocean, walled off from the water with bedrock, given the title of the "Bedrock Dam". Builders got the bedrock through popbob's backdoor, which allowed him to select players to teleport to, fly, and use the Not Enough Items mod to spawn items in. One of the members who got these perks made stashes out in the millions filled with illegal items, including bedrock. It was one of many bases that had the signature "town" in its name, as bases back then were generally called towns. The base was eventually griefed by an unknown player back in 2012, possibly Acid1212 or Harblax. Region files of the town can be downloaded here (superflat world).

The base comprised standard Minecraft castles and houses. It was more colorful than Passie Town due to the fact that it was built in a different Minecraft update, which introduced new creative blocks that players could use.

History
ZiggyBase was founded after ziggy_s was going to repair NFE. Instead of traveling to NFE's coordinates (X:-400 Z:800) in the Overworld, he traveled to those coordinates in the Nether, which is eight times further than NFE's location. He founded ZiggyBase at this location.

Builders got bedrock through popbob's backdoor, which allowed him to select players to teleport to, fly, and use the Not Enough Items mod to spawn items in. One of the members who got these perks made stashes out in the millions filled with illegal items, including bedrock. The illegally-built Bedrock Comet was built out of bedrock at ZiggyBase. The Bedrock Dam and Bedrock Bunker were also built nearby.

ZiggyBase was abandoned and griefed in 2012. Later in 2014, xcc2 returned to ZiggyBase find it only slightly griefed. The base was rebuilt, but was found months later and griefed again. Following that incident, the base members decided to leave the base for good, leading to the base's final demise. Despite the base being destroyed and lavacasted, the Bedrock Comet remained as a well-known landmark. Over the years, many different players and groups contributed towards the ruined state of ZiggyBase.

Much of the later history of the base surrounds the Bedrock Comet, as it was the only surviving build at the location until its completed grief in August 2020.

Restoration efforts
During early April 2020, an attempt to remove the lavacasts from ZiggyBase was made. The project was lead by players Univercius and KBgaming, with additional help from Jimbo_Limbo and the creator of the bedrock comet, passie05. The restoration effort took about half a week and when the project concluded, almost all remnants of the years-old lavacasts were gone.

Attempts to protect the Bedrock Comet from further damage were also made. In 2020, the comet was submerged in water, a tactic used server-wide in an attempt to preserve builds.

Bedrock Comet
The famous bedrock comet was one of the last standing bedrock builds before it was completely destroyed in August 2020, as Hausemaster has removed several illegal builds and lag machines over the years. The build was actually not a comet but is based on a beacon from the Dead Space franchise. A wither was spawned inside the comet, presumably in 2012, and was killed in 2016 by The 4th Reich. In 2020, the comet was submerged in water in order to protect it from griefers attempting to destroy the bedrock. Despite the effort, the Bedrock Comet was completely destroyed by August 2020.

In 2017, the top 30 layers of the bedrock comet were removed by househousehouse1 using the dragon egg bedrock removal method. Due to dragon eggs falling through bedrock and breaking multiple pieces at once, there are also a lot of holes in the bottom of the comet.

In November 2019, as part of The Book Club's "No-Server-November", two players built an extremely powerful lag machine inside the bedrock comet. When it was removed, the admin was careful not to remove any bedrock.

Later in November 2019, Brownman members built a ban chunk that encased the bedrock comet. There were also three other hollow ban chunks built to make it looks like one structure so that when an admin uses //set air to remove it, they don't realize that the comet was also deleted. The ban chunk builders spread fake screenshots of the comet being reverted to stone around 2b2t discords and subreddits to trick players into going there and getting banned.

In early April, shortly after the lavacasts has been removed from ZiggyBase, a furnace chunk ban was set up by a few members of The Brownmen. This would be known as the April 8-10 Chunk Ban, the group would later extend the project and rename themselves The Bakery. An invitation to a “party” at the bedrock comet was posted on Reddit, prompting many unsuspecting players to go to ZiggyBase. Dozens of players would be chunk banned over the next few days, and it even gained the attention of FitMC, who would later make a video about it. Hause made attempts to remove the chunk ban but it was fairly easy to set the ban chunk back up. The Bakery moved operations from the comet to 0,0 overworld after a week. You can see the original post here.

On July 15, 2020, many people started griefing Bedrock Comet. Members of the Facepunch Federation started defending it with many succeses. Most of the fighters had to retreat because of internal conflicts inside the group. Quickly in their place came people from Emperium. They didn't care about the Comet, they just wanted to fight with others. This strange temporary alliance chased griefers away with ease. In 18th of August MC Ren and Armorsmith created a group that focused on removing all bedrock structures on 2b2t. Bedrock Comet was one of their main targets and is now completely destroyed as of August 2020.

Bedrock Bunker
An illegally built bedrock bunker near bedrock level is close to ZiggyBase. FitMC made a video on it.

The bunker was 4 blocks wide, 3 blocks tall, and 7 blocks across (on the inside) with no way inside. When using freecam, it was possible to place blocks inside the bunker. Xcc2 said that using freecam, they used the bunker to store items as an ungriefable chest.

The bedrock has been replaced with an expoit to be out of obsidian by someone called "Press". It is unknown when this happened.

Bedrock Dam
Another illegally placed bedrock build located at X:-3500 Z:7000.
