For those who don't know: 2b2t is a famous minecraft server known for its true "anarchy" configuration. You can do absolutely anything on it. Modded client, x-raying, item duplication. There are no area protections. PvP enabled. It is difficult to leave spawn :)

I know 2b2t is old enough to have had many different eras, but when I heard about and checked it out in 2018, the spawn was barren, of course, but I had no problem leaving and surviving out to a pretty far distance to build a little base.

Maybe a dumb question but since 2B2T (as I understand it) is a single instance of everyone modifying it to their heart's content, why does the download look like the standard biomes of a fresh minecraft map?

It is running on a single machine so the player count is relatively low. Today the limit is ~1500 concurrent players but it used to be much lower. And of the players online probably half are bots which don't build. The map is 30Mx30M blocks so outside of the very center you'll not see that much player activity. DonutSMP is the largest Minecraft server today, the overworld is 225,000x225,000 blocks and the map is modi…

And because destroying other's builds is allowed most of the impressive builds are hidden in the middle of nowhere. Building within 50k blocks of spawn comes with the expectation that it might quickly turn into a crater or lava cast

I'm so continuously confused why Minecraft doesn't have a show-off mode where a team of people can build something, and then someone else can spectate it, without causing undue server load. I should be able to give you a URL to some location, and when you click it, it opens up Minecraft, streams the blocks, and you're viewing it. minecraft://server/loc?w=0&x=0&y=0&z=0 w is the overworld, nether, end, etc. And if you…

Probably no real reason why not... but I think it'd make more sense to take a snapshot, upload, and then have it viewable on the web.

> And if you want to set up a server where you and your friends can interact with each other and make edits, the server should be able to stream blocks from some backing server, but copy-on-write them to your own local storage.

How is this different from just loading your world in a server and having your friends join?

> If you want to be really awesome, set it up like bittorrent, where you can share the load, so the central server isn't hammered.

BitTorrent isn't going to work. You could shard it so different parts of the world are handled by different servers. But it gets complicated and Minecraft's server software doesn't support doing this out of the box

2b2t is so interesting. It is a toxic place, yet you can find really nice things, builds, messages, ... It's fascinating.

The highways especially. You'd think they'd be completely dysfunctional in a place like this.

They get griefed once in a while but the highway builders have pretty amazing automation these days so it’s not only very boring to grief they will also almost instantly be repaired.

It is also the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft

It's not in the base game, but there is a plugin that generates a map of your server and hosts it, called Bluemap [0]. It has an example. [1] I always toss it on the servers I host.
