Combat



Combat on 2b2t has drastically changed as new updates were introduced to the server and players found new, creative ways to gain an upper hand in PvP and creating new metas.

Combat (PvP) Metas
There have been many different Combat Metas used by players on 2b2t.

Sword PvP
Swords were the most common type of weapon used by players on 2b2t for the majority of its lifespan. Beginning in 2010 during the Alpha version of Minecraft, players wielded Swords to fight other players. "Kill Aura" was a module that all widely used cheat clients had when they became a need on the server to have a fair fight on the server.

Potion PvP
Potions combined with Sword PvP was another popular meta used by players when brewing was added in the Beta version of Minecraft. Players soon learned how to stack potions and potions could be spammed.

Bow Spamming
Bow Spamming was a method of using a bow to "spam" arrows at an enemy by releasing the arrow before it was fully nocked. This meta was popular during the Alpha version and stayed that way as cheat clients with a "Bow Spam" module became more and more common.

Superweapons (32Ks)
Superweapons refer to the swords with the Sharpness enchantment level 32,767 created during the second backdoor in 2015, by ITristan and Pyrobyte. Hausemaster attempted to patch these superweapons, however many survived from being stashed in unloaded chunks. The superweapons reemerged in 2017 after being duped by Kinorana, but were quickly patched. In 2018, AlphaComputer found a method to use superweapons without them being reverted by placing a shulker box on top of a hopper and placing the sword in your hotbar with Kill Aura enabled. Common modules for this meta were; "Auto32K" which automated the process of using a hopper to dispense a 32K Sword, "Anti32K" (first developed by John200410) which was a nuker module that targeted hoppers within a specific radius. This meta was fully patched by Hausemaster in December of 2019.

Bed Bombing
Beds were used as a type of suicide bombing by placing a bed in the nether and right-clicking it as it would cause a fatal explosion to any nearby, unsuspecting players.

Crystal PvP
End Crystals became craftable with the introduction of Minecraft version 1.9 and when 2b2t was updated, this meta would become the mainstream way to PvP. This meta was similar to bed bombing, however it could also be used in the overworld.
