Spawn

2b2t’s Spawn is centered on x0, z0 and the 2000x2000 area that surrounds it, though no one agrees on how far out the term "spawn" means. Like its name suggests, Spawn is the starting point for new players and the place where players without beds respawn, making it the most populated place on 2b2t.

Inner Spawn
Spawn was first made in the Alpha version of Minecraft as a forest, a far cry from what is now. Spawn is usually described as cobblestone hell because of its many cobblestone mountains made from lava casts. Spawn also has many abandoned houses littering the area, along with bridges, swastikas, ruined farms, etc. Inside of the main lava cast (0,0) is the hardest part to traverse due to it having no continuous ground, instead being made up of patches of blocks, requiring players to jump / build across them to travel.

Notable Spawn Locations
There are several notable areas within the 2000x2000 area at spawn. These include but are not limited to:
 * The lava wall: this giant wall of cobblestone (sometimes lava) was originally a plan to keep Rushers contained in spawn during The Rusher War. It surrounds the original 500x500 spawn radius.Aj73d57.jpgScreenshot 2016-12-18 at 4.19.03 PM.png
 * Wrath Outpost: an outpost made when Valkyria called for the third spawn incursion for the destruction of Asgard II.
 * x420 y69 z911: The Vortex Coalition official spawnbase, made of lavacast to defer griefers, and continually destroyed and rebuilt.Wrath of voco-0.png
 * Operation Poseidon's Water Cube: Operation Poseidon was an attempt made by Team Veteran to cause difficult travel through spawn for Rushers by flooding it with water. It failed when the water cube began to freeze over due to snow biomes surrounding spawn and several people using the frost walker enchant to freeze it aswell. It is currently fused with the current one
 * The Obsidian Wall: A failed attempt by the 4th Reich to create Jared2013's 5th Incursion Wall. It is highly recommended to stay away from this wall as it is populated by several withers. This wall is next to the border between Inner and Outer Spawn.Maxresdefault (4).jpg
 * The Water Cube: The Water Cube is obviously a large cube of water made by DiscoRae, Stlavs, flip and several people that engulfed a large portion of spawn. The water cube reached to 500 blocks in every direction and went up to the build limit (actually making it a cuboid). Its original purpose was to make travel difficult for newfags but claims state that it infact does the opposite as newfags no longer have to travel rough terrain and can simply swim through spawn. There are many air pockets and the bottom is usually the cobble monster hell mentioned above. It was created using airships to make the water sources spread. In 2017 April a movement started to destroy the Cube, and "make the Spawn dry again". A large portion of the water cube has been drained by numerous people.7RafzbL.png
 * NFE: Negative Fourhundred Eighthundred was originally a 'sanctuary' for newfags. It was maintained by xcc2 and x0xP for some time. It was also a Forward Operation base used by Valkyria during the Second Incursion and was used along with Wrath Outpost during the Third Incursion. Its name is the coordinates of the base. The base was destroyed and rebuilt numerous times, with it currently now just ruins. 2015-04-30 22.42.17 (1).png
 * Project Obsidian Sky: a currently ongoing project to cover the entirety of spawn with an obsidian roof at y: 256. The aims of this project is to "plunge spawn into darkness". It is also built at height limit so griefing it with withers is harder.

Outer Spawn
Outer spawn is a bit more flat than Inner Spawn, but is still littered with ruins and the occasional lava cast. While there are usually no animals in Outer Spawn, farms are a bit more common to come across. Outer spawn is home to many frozen oceans and deserts due to the biome settings being tampered with when weather was implemented into Minecraft. Outer spawn is also home to many of 2b2t’s monuments such as:
 * 2k2k: An old Facepunch base which is located x:-2000 z:-2000 hence the name. The base is currently a large cobble monster, however, players can find rooms and ruins inside the monster of the original base.Valley of Furnaces.png
 * Valley of Furnaces: A Valley surrounded by several lava pillars and cobble monsters with a large amount of furnaces in the center.
 * Basti's Canyon: A large canyon made by Team Veteran during a test run with Basti's bomber during the third and final attempt to make spawn more difficult for Rushers to traverse. The attempt was abandoned due to people being able to grief the bombers and bed/crystal bombers.
 * HermeticLock's Spawn Base: A spawn base built by HermeticLock that is currently a battleground and in ruins.
 * 40K-80K Ocean: In 2011, the terrain generation of Beta 1.8 caused endless ocean to generate after a few kilometers from the world spawn, in this period someone traveled the south axis, and by doing so created an ocean over 40k long. Similar oceans can be found on the other axises as well.AstJkDV7ALFO1L6-AXYunXTCgknG3TZ4dxZ7r0MRvBs.jpg

Dangers
x0, z0 is considered to be the most dangerous place in spawn for many reasons. There are usually two reasons why: other players who will kill you on sight, and the difficulty in traversing the terrain. Spawn has no animals for many thousands of blocks, and farms are usually destroyed within days of being made. This makes escaping spawn for new players extremely difficult (without hacks), and has become a sort of test to determine who can survive on 2b2t and who cannot.

However, escaping spawn becomes somewhat easy if the newfriend has hacks in which he can use speed hacks to get far enough to find food and is cautious on the highways without losing too much hunger. As of lately due to the 11/11 dupe, the highways and spawn are filled with withers, however they can be easy to avoid if you know where they are by using either mob tracers or xray.

Spawn Incursions
Spawn Incursions are invasions of spawn, usually by a large group, with the intent to cause mass genocide at spawn to show their dominance on the server or attempt to contain a flood of newfags. See more on the Spawn Incursions page.
