I spent a few weeks there back in the day. After the ordeal of surviving the spawn I remember it as a haunting and melancholic experience: you kept finding decayed places, huge projects long abandoned, vandalized monuments, vague traces of simpler dwellings, hidden orchards.

I haven't played a lot of Minecraft but I'm glad that most of the little I played was there.

I did too. It had a LOT more swastikas at that time, it was a natural hangout for bored edgelords taking time off 4chan. I travelled far out and built a small underground base and then got bored. It wasn't easy to survive and get out of spawn because there was no food or soil or trees.

If you want to relive your minecraft memories without actually playing minecraft again I recommend you check out the excellent game Vintage Story.

Oh wow, they actually provided the full torrent. I was always hoping they would so it could be studied. For those unfamiliar, 2B2T was a Minecraft anarchy server that had almost no restrictions. It devolved into roving gangs of people trying to kill each other, use cheats to find secret bases, etc. The trick to hiding on this server was to go as far away as possible from the center, which led to an enormous map size.…

Was? It's still online no?

I have such fond memories of venturing into 2b2t in 2016! I think it was one of the last times I truly felt like a kid in my life. As if I was a part of something larger than me. Multiple factions, and people betraying each other. Secrecy abound. The scarcity of resources leading to small groups forming joining for survival. Item duplication bugs being exploited all the time! Oh, and of course, the wonderful world of…

>> Oh, and of course, the wonderful world of hacked clients. The idea of anarchy was gripping! My multiplayer experience in Minecraft consists of spending three days building myself a fancy treehouse, then logging in the next day and finding that someone had used an exploit to turn all of it to lava. I guess some people do like chaos, but not me.

It's not too bad if you know it can happen and more or less expect it. Nobody goes on 2b2t not expecting chaos.

Thankfully, there are other servers on which people play nice. And there's always the option to host your own with friends, which is my preferred option.
