They didn't scrape the entire map. A minecraft map is 30 million blocks^2
Technically you only need to scrape the generated chunks.
They scraped everything in that one million squared blocks area.

It's true: https://www.resetera.com/threads/mojang-requires-minecraft-a... Here's another server saying the same thing happened to them: https://minecraftonline.com/wiki/Mojang_Blacklist_Timeline Here's a mainstream source, though it doesn't have any new information: https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/gaming/15-years-late...
None of those say that 2b2t had to remove swearing.

#94This was kept completely secret, so three days ago a separate group released their 200k² world download. https://www.reddit.com/r/2b2t_Uncensored/comments/1tefffd/in... Ups.
Someone please create a google-map like view service so that I don't have to download the entire dataset.

#95I tried it with a vanilla client, without cheats. The spawn point was brutal, bed rock as long as you could see, large walls and lava. And other players trying to kill you. Had to try several times. Found enough tree to build a pickaxe... dig down, wait for the night. Desperately running trying to avoid zombies. Found a hidden farm, plundered, but two carrots left, enough to not die from starvation. Managed to get outside the spawn zone. Found more tree and food. Walked for several IRL days, old ruins everywhere. Gathered enough resources, built a boat and traveled the ocean. Found a large area surrounded by water and high cliffs, perfect for a base, touched nothing on the surface to not leave any trace, built a hidden farm at a mountain, some secret outlook windows, underwater base. And all sort of traps and labyrinths, prepared for the day the griefers would come.

#96I'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…
The whole point of 2b2t is anarchy and also secrecy.
Hiding bases is absolutely vital. There are groups with goals to destroy what you build and it is completely a core part of the server.
Having a live external map view compromises the gameplay allowing those griefers significant advantages. And they already do find exploits and such to sniff out targets but a live external map would be server ending.

Considering no other server has to ban swear words (ignoring Bedrock partnered servers), I do not believe that happened. The server administration does not care so they are just trying to censor as much as they can automatically so they don't have to manually spend time looking at the server. There are other servers who are small enough to continue to have actually anarchy and who are willing to require having altern…

"Minecraft Online" painted a target on themselves by choosing that name. They're a walking trademark infringement and a particularly egregious one at that, to the point where they sound like scammers. They got away purely based on goodwill from Mojang.

If I remember one of these stories right, a screenshot of netherrite blocks on the floor. A member of the community calculated the block placement in the chunk and used this to determine where it was on the actual map.
i am amazed at the amount of unemployed you have to be to do things like this.
Last time I checked, kids aren't allowed to work.

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.
It is, for Minecraft. But not in the scale of "people who might want to visit Middle Earth Minecraft," or "The Earth in Minecraft", or...

That's why I wrote, "then set it up so that "downloader pays" for bandwidth, plus a small royalty for the creator. As a downloader, I get to set up rate limits, etc, to not accidentally spend more than I want to, etc."
So, I set up a server.
You put $10 in your Minecraft account.
You load up my world, say 96 chunks at first. 1.15 MB of data.
Let's say you fly around long enough to load 1 GB of my world. That's a crap-ton of flying around, by the way.
You pay me $0.10. $0.09 of that goes to my AWS/Azure egress, and the final $0.01 goes towards the AWS/Azrue storage and my own royalty. That's right - I actually get paid for making a world that you wanted to visit. Imagine that.
Maybe I can't even get that money back out of Minecraft's walled garden. Maybe I can only use that to fly around other people's world, or to buy Minecoins that I can use to purchase mod packs and stuff, to make even more interesting worlds, to attract more players.
Seems like a nice economy, to me.
