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 :)

It's famous for being toxic and unmoderated. You can do anything... want to be racist, cool, doxxing people, cool, targeted harassment, you bet your ass.

Does anyone happen to have world data from a Minecraft survival server? Could you please share it with me? It would be great if it has some player history included. I'm trying to gather about 10 of them, but it's not easy.

abyssmc.org was my server and the website has season 1 and season 2 links online while the newer seasons died. I could also get you the earth map with about 100 years of cumulative playtime, the first two seasons maps had much less playtime

My name is Jeong Dongwoo, and my email is doogwoo@gmail.com. If you send me an email, I will explain in detail how to use it. I would greatly appreciate your help

So if I download this map, can I run it from my own vanilla Java Minecraft server?

In theory, yes, you could, if you have enough storage space, and if the download provided (not yet) is a vanilla Minecraft world format instead of a custom one that they are using internally

None of these will work properly. If you do copy-on-write where both the upstream server and local client make changes then the chunks you (or your local client) made changes to cannot be updated from the upstream server. However, neighboring chunks can still be updated from the upstream, which means you get holes in buildings pulled in from the upstream world.

Cool, that's the way it should work. A snapshot stored in the cloud that you can run in a server or locally. Before this existed people posted saves online that you could download and play.

Pretty sure this has been a thing on modded (Java edition) servers for a long time now!

Whoever host the server? The difference is instead of only serving 50 people before lowering fps, instead now it can serve much more.

> Whoever host the server? Many are self hosted. > The difference is instead of only serving 50 people before lowering fps, instead now it can serve much more. 2b2t has 920 players online right now. That's quite a lot for a single instance, IMO.

Yeah I mean whoever hosts the server can add some (tiny?) expenses to host a "static" version of their server. Though I'm not sure why spectator mode isn't sufficient.

If I'm trying to tour one of the beautiful servers that people have made, yes, it absolutely would work for my use case.

I'm sorry my idea doesn't appeal to you.

Acting like it has no value for anyone means you don't understand my use case, or you don't care about me. It may entirely be my fault that you don't understand my use case, but I think you're being obstinate.

Cheers.
