Joey Coconut

Joey_Coconut is a builder and leader of a variety of groups such as the Block Gamers, Guardsmen, and Shortbus Caliphate. He led the construction of Block Game Jerusalem, and has contributed to many other bases, most notably Block Game Mecca and Whitehaven. He also organized and led the Tenth Incursion and is a member of the SpawnMasons.

The beginning
Joey_Coconut joined the server on 12 June, 2015, after he was introduced to the server by his friend, ARENAWARLORD. He wandered around spawn extensively, settling for a time at a place known as the Noob Ranch, and then to the Melon Highway in late 2015. Joey_Coconut played as a lurker with common periods of inactivity. He built Little Altenburg in early 2016.

Tugboat Base
In late 2016, Joey_Coconut noticed thumbnails for TheCampingRusher's series on the "Oldest Server in Minecraft," and was drawn back into 2b2t. He became leader of a group of Rushers, and set up his first group project in Tugboat Base. Joey_Coconut and his now-enlarged group of newfags known as the Rogue Gnomes established two bases. The bases were called Altenburg and Salzburg, and were extremely short-lived.

While operating his sanctuary at Tugboat Base, Joey_Coconut met many travelers, including AutismBot, who soon invited him to live at Invictus II.

Invictus
On his way to Invictus II, Joey ran into the entirety of the base group on the highway, themselves on their way back from their recent raid on La Rosa. Joey_Coconut based at Invictus II from early October of 2016 to late November, when it was abandoned and griefed by NedaT. He then based at Obliviscaris, but this base was also, short-lived and uneventful. Obliviscaris lasted only a few weeks in December of 2016. Joey was then invited to C4RTM4N's base, the 2b2t Creative Mode Project, and went inactive during this time. When he returned, the base had been blown up by Parthicus.

Ironfarm Base
After becoming a member of Block Game Mecca, and not wanting to make the trip out, Ironfarm Base was given to Joey. Instead, he elected to reside in the now-empty Ironfarm Base and attempt to create a cadet base for potential BGM members. The base was generally inactive; only Placer and Drathader came to the location. On 20 April, 2017, Joey_Coconut was alerted that there was a newly-discovered version of the BedTP, and was subsequently teleported to Block Game Mecca. Ironfarm Base was griefed by Parthicus the following day.

Arrival in Mecca
Joey_Coconut arrived in Mecca on 20 April, 2017. Throughout his time at Block Game Mecca, Joey_Coconut built his Brick Biome, the CocoCastle, a sizable village, a melon shrine, and a replica tugboat from Tugboat Base. He also created the so-called "epic dabbing skateboard man statue". For Christmas 2017, Joey_Coconut built a noteblock rendition of "Oh Christmas Tree" underneath the base's Christmas Tree.

The Brick Biome
Joey_Coconut had duplicated over 6.2 Million brick blocks during the 1.12 Stacking Duplication. Upon duplicating that many bricks, Joey_Coconut realized he did not have a use for that many bricks. He tried to resolve this issue by building with them. When that did not work, he decided to gift them to other players. When gifting them did not drastically decrease his supply, he began burning them en masse. This also did not severely curtail the supply of bricks. He replaced all surface blocks in an area of roughly 500x500 with the bricks. There were so many left that even after millions were destroyed in the fall of Mecca, Joey built a second Brick Biome at Block Game Jerusalem.

Rhodes
During the 1.11.2-1.12 temp map in July 2017, Joey_Coconut met the player Drachenstien, through a small group known as Imperinova. Drachenstien invited Joey_Coconut to jared2013's base, Rhodes. The base did not survive the summer. While there, Joey_Coconut met _m_o_t_h_r_a_, who was invited to Mecca shortly after the fall of Rhodes.

Membership in Groups
On 6 November, 2017, Joey_Coconut created the Shortbus Caliphate along with Slappnbadkids and _m_o_t_h_r_a_. In May of 2018, Joey_Coconut became a member of the Astral Order, achieving the Celestium rank within the Astral Order and befriending LordGalvatronMC in the process. Joey also participated in the Sixth Incursion and Seventh Incursion.

The fall of Mecca, the BoeMeccan Witch Trials, and the foundation of Jerusalem
Immediately following the fall of Mecca, Joey_Coconut became heavily involved in the BoeMeccan Witch Trials against Beardler, along with YellowstoneJoe and _m_o_t_h_r_a_. Joey_Coconut started the process off with 2 reddit posts. Joey quit 2b2t for a short period of time before returning to Block Game Jerusalem to begin building his area.

Democratic Republic of 2b2t
In September 2018, Joey_Coconut joined the Democratic Republic of 2b2t, and orchestrated a coup against Gambino over accusations of abuse of power. The result of the coup was Joey_Coconut becoming "President of 2b2t." The group disintegrated after Gambino gave ownership of the server to WomenAreObjects, who nuked the server and allegedly doxxed Gambino.

Joey stopped actively playing on the server from late 2018 to May 2020.In the interim, he moved to Constantiam for a short time.

Resumption of activity
In mid-May, 2020, Joey_Coconut started to play actively on 2b2t again, with the foundation of the JIDF being his first action. He then founded JIDFBase as a place for the members to meet, although a spawnfarm, Bearington, was the first base of the group. JIDFBase was griefed on 5 July, 2020. Through the JIDF, Joey_Coconut met FamilyPumpkin6, who subsequently invited him to Hopen.

Hopen
Joey_Coconut became a member of Hopen on June 21, 2020. Upon arriving at the base, Joey_Coconut began to build. He built his mine and brick town while there, started a large underground complex, and took part in the trial of DarkXL6. The base was later griefed by 0x22 on the morning of the 7th of August, 2020, leaving Joey's projects mostly incomplete.

JIDF
Main Article: JIDF

After becoming established at Hopen, Joey_Coconut decided to resume JIDF activities, which had been paused after JIDFBase. He started by founding DoofBase near spawn on 23 July, 2020. He invited members of NFPR to the base (as he was a Mayor in NFPR at the time), as well as the usual JIDF members. The base lasted under 24 hours. Following this, Joey_Coconut, Crawket, and LordGalvatronMC founded Fort Aqua on 25 July, 2020. The base took shape quickly before being discovered by digandbuilder, who was showing his coordinates while streaming. Following the base's discovery, Joey_Coconut decided to move the JIDF's operations to the the Shortbus Caliphate once again. The members griefed the base on the 1st of August, 2020.

Block Game Jerusalem revival
Following the griefs of Hopen and Fort Aqua, Joey consulted with the remaining Block Game Jerusalem members, and invited many of the builders from the Aforementioned bases to Jerusalem, which he revived. The base exploded in size, and following a leak to jared2013, the number of nonmembers who knew also increased.

Avalonia and Elysium
Main Articles: Avalonia, Elysium

In July of 2020, Noah3j invited Joey_Coconut to the group Avalonia. The invitation brought Joey_Coconut to 2 bases: Avalonia and Andromeda. Avalonia fell on 12 August, 2020, after Dectonic had given the coordinates to several Infinity Incursion members. Following the grief of Avalonia, Joey_Coconut, along with most other members of the group, were invited to the Elysium Group. Andromeda was later griefed by Ionar and DrBeardStash, on 26 September, 2020, following disagreements between them and others in the wider Avalonia-Elysium association.

The new Shortbus Caliphate
Joey participated in many bases in the Shortbus Caliphate, such as the Gender Reveal Biome and Beirut. The group picked up a large amount of members in this time.

0Neb Appreciation Group
Following months of 0Neb shitposting about the account xz_9 and the Nerd's Inc mind calculator, Joey involved himself. The group's public activities were run largely through the Shortbus Caliphate, with whom the group built The Calculator, and The Calculator II (also called the Shortbus Calculator) and Funbase. Members were recruited from a wide variety of groups, although they were mostly from the SpawnMasons, Guardsmen, Block Gamers, Nerds Inc, and the Shortbus Caliphate. The group focused on 'trolling' 0Neb, although it devolved into a continuous RP about former US President Lyndon B Johnson. After Nocom was revealed, it was realized the group was one of the many smokescreens for the exploit.

Crimson
Main Article: Crimson Star

Joey_Coconut was invited to base at The Cum Zone by y_a_t_a. Taking a liking to the group, Joey_Coconut became a member of Crimson, and moved with them to Cum Zone II. At Cum Zone II, Joey_Coconut laid the foundation for the extensive Acacia District at the base that later became a staple of most other Crimson and Shortbus Caliphate Bases. The original Acacia District was heavily inspired by Vertrix's town at Block Game Jerusalem.

The Presidential Election
Joey_Coconut participated in the 2020 2b2t Presidential Election, achieving the second-highest vote count, behind Lennie.

The 10th Incursion
Main Article: Tenth Incursion

Upon hearing that Mrbeast had joined 2b2t, Joey_Coconut moved quickly to form the Tenth Incursion. As a result of a general sense of panic, the server grew incredibly quickly. Following Mrbeast's exit from 2b2t, many incursion members and leaders stopped participating in the organization. Joey_Coconut formulated an entirely new plan with several members, and revitalized the operation with several new members being included in the leadership. The new plan was to place enchanting tables in mass at nether spawn to anger the spawn pvpers. The enchantment table operation moved on to be a success.

Adamantium
Main Article: Adamantium

Joey_Coconut co-lead the construction of Adamantium with Orsond fromDecember2020 to January 2021. It was a large base near spawn that was built as a cooperative effort between the now-rebranded Caliphate and the Guardsmen. He spent over 100 hours building at the base in its less than 2 week lifespan.

The Guardsmen
Following the grief of Adamantium, Joey was promoted into the leadership of the Guardsmen, a position which he retains to present day. He has participated in nearly all subsequent Guardsmen bases, especially Mediano.

Whitehaven
In January 2021, Krobar01 invited Joey to Whitehaven after seeing his builds at Adamantium, which were in a similar style to those at Whitehaven. Joey became a Co-leader of the base, concentrating on recruiting new members to the group. Throught him, Banana_on_2b2t, _gigo, DocSmurf, and Lunch_Katsu were invited to the base. Joey focused on his castle for the majority of the base's existence, although he also built Gazebos, the beginnings of a town, and a bridge infamous among the base members. The base was leaked by jared2013 on June 16th 2021, along with Block Game Jerusalem, after months of heated confrontation with Joey.

Involvement with and the fall of Jerusalem
Joey continued to lead Block Game Jerusalem, and formulate a more concrete identity of the Block Gamers as a basegroup. He constructed a wide variety of projects there, such as his feverdream village, Desert Tudor village (which itself was to experiment with builds to put at Whitehaven) and most notably, Brick Biome 2.

Despite the numerous leaks, Joey kept the base going with sizable help from a variety of others shielding the base, mostly members of Nerds Inc and Team Pepsi. After being leaked to a number of people who were going to grief the base on the morning of June 16th 2021, Joey leaked the coordinates publicly, and invited the Spawnmasons to grief the base.

2b2t_Uncensored Nukes and 2b2t Uncut
Main Article: 2b2t uncensored

Following the deletion of an article about Zltb (the owner of the 2b2t_uncensored subreddit), Joey_Coconut's staff position was revoked. After generating considerable public outcry against Zltb, Joey_Coconut co-founded 2b2t_uncut subreddit with Orsond. He also nuked the uncensored subreddit in early January 2020, and participated in several other nukes and attempted nukes throughout the month. Joey_coconut was later removed from the r/2b2t_uncut staff team as well.

Involvement in the wiki
On 27 July, 2018, Joey_Coconut became a Administrator on the 2builders2tools wiki, which was headed by jared2013. After the project slowed down as a result of jared2013 disappearing, Joey_Coconut was brought onto the 2b2t wiki by Dark_Annihilator as an administrator. He quickly went inactive. In April 2020, Joey_Coconut, _Henry_, jared2013, and several others began discussion to the effect of serious changes in the wiki structure and scope. With this shared vision, Joey_Coconut planned a removal of what himself and his supporters viewed as an incapable administration in Proposed Changes to 2b2t Wiki Staff. Joey_Coconut's participation in the wiki management was controversial, leading to Proposed_Changes_to_2b2t_Wiki_Staff_v2. Following all of this, Joey_Coconut was promoted to Bureaucrat on the wiki and currently holds that rank.

Media
On 10, September, the 2b2t Media Archive was vandalized beyond repair by The_Grand_Lotus. Joey_Coconut immediately went about creating a successor, the Discord Archive, which he led until 18 January, 2020, when he handed the organization over to Chipoff in thanks of his contributions to the project. HermeticLock made Joey a head moderator of 2b2t Online in December of 2020 in the process of a site redesign. Joey is also an advisor for The Archive (server), and a staff member for the Postjune discord server. Joey has previously been affiliated with RRN, r/2b2t_uncensored, and r/2b2t_uncut.
