  • November 7, 2005 – Hausemaster creates his Steam account.[1]
  • February 2008 – 2009 – Hausemaster is active on the Team Fortress 2 server 2fort2furious (2f2f). He also creates an account on the 2f2f forum on February 20, 2008.[2]

  • August 29, 2008 – Hausemaster starts the 2b2t Steam group with the aim to host game servers, titled "2builders2tools (2b2t)", a parody of 2f2f.[3]
  • August 2008 – between April 2009 and December 2010 – 2b2t's Garry's Mod server begins after Kalash is banned from 2f2f for exploits. After creating the Minecraft server, the group is still active and continues hosting servers, although none are as significant as the Garry's Mod and Minecraft servers.[4] The group was deleted by Hause in 2019 or 2020.
  • August 3, 2010 – Minecraft survival multiplayer is released.

2010

Player Count: 50–70 (Accounts vary)

Nothing much is known about the early days of 2b2t, except that the server began in December this year. According to pYr01v1aniac, the server was on update Alpha 1.7. However, such a version does not exist. [5] There are rumors that the server began months earlier than this (due to Hausemaster's wording in a Facepunch thread) but they are little more than rumors.

  • December – Hausemaster and/or georgebush420, the two server operators, begin 2b2t. 2b2t is populated by people in the already existing 2b2t Garry's Mod community (such as Rage639 and BennyGun)
  • Late December – Spawn is griefed, according to accounts. pYr01v1aniac claims that most of the damage at Spawn was caused by creeper explosions in "the first couple of days",[6] as well as lavacasts.[7]

2011

Player Count: 50–80

Chezhead moves out of his first base, citing proximity to spawn, and establishes Camp Facepunch, probably on the same castle ruins he had discovered.
    • April 28 – At 12:45 AM UTC a player named Luke2thebun on his alt mweorz attacks Camp Facepunch. Starting the Facepunch War. Later that day a temporary castle built by the Facepunchers is also attacked and destroyed.

  • January 2012
    • ZiggyBase is constructed. popbob's backdoor allows builders to construct bedrock structures, such as the Bedrock Dam and the Bedrock Comet. popbob then uses the backdoor to teleport to many bases and grief them, as well as create hacked items.

    • 2k2k is founded.
    • The Facepunch Republic fully collapses.
  • Mid 2012 – x0XP and popbob attempt to backdoor 2b2t again, but they failed when Benjojo (one of the moderators) caught them. Benjojo would soon leave the server when he began to believe that the server was populated by actual Neo-Nazis.
  • July 2012
    • 2k2k is obliterated and lavacasted.

    • November 11 – The 11/11 Dupe, otherwise known as the Drop Dupe, is discovered and leaked by RusherIsAutistic (xxq).

Mass–duping takes place across the server.
    • November 19 – Kinorana develops a client that simplified the 11/11 Dupe, allowing players to dupe their entire inventory.
