How This Base Survived 12 Years on 2b2t

This base survived 12 years on the oldest Anarchy server in Minecraft taking the record of the longest surviving base in the server’s history it’s so old that no one even knows the original name of this place just looking at it is nostalgic but how it survived so long is actually quite interesting

After being abandoned by its original owner it was eventually found by more and more explorers it became crucial to hide the existence of this place in order to protect it but Rising tensions different approaches to preserving the history and players adding their own additions caused some problems which

Potentially led to the eventual downfall of this Base today we’ll cover the entire history of what players have nicknamed The Invisible Castle the longest surviving base in 2b2t history will uncover its Origins the attempts at preservation and investigate the conflicts that would eventually cause this base’s destruction now today’s

First priority an unknown Explorer traveled out over a hundred thousand blocks in the Overworld to try and find some peace and quiet in those days 100K was considered a massive distance and usually pretty safe many of the bases built in this era were even closer to spawn but still managed to stay standing

For quite some time now when the Explorer arrived in this pristine Wilderness they began to create a castle very much in the classic Minecraft building style very heavy on Cobblestone and wooden planks you had the throne room with a classic Minecart seat you had a watchtower and ramparts a Barracks

Even a large church with all Walter and chandeliers underneath the castle was a secret chest room and an underground subway system it’s like looking through a window into the past the simple build style the lack of block variety it’s incredibly nostalgic to look at something from a time in which Minecraft

Was far more simple now this is where things get interesting we still don’t know who this early explorer was however they did leave behind some clues about their identity there is a written sign at the base that reads produfini which is a French phrase for final product this implies that the original Builder

Could have been from France but since it’s the only written sign at the base it should be taken with a grain of salt not far from the castle was a large pit almost completely mined out this meant the Builder took the stone directly from the ground instead of relying on

Something like a cobblestone generator so it’s possible this early floor was more of a casual player instead of a hardcore one especially in this time period by analyzing the surrounding terrain we actually know exactly when the base was built by running 2v2t’s original world seed through multiple beta versions of Minecraft and by

Looking at things such as ore distribution and surface features the terrain was generated in beta version 1.6.6 which was only available for roughly a single month June of 2011 but at some point after this the Builder likely stopped playing and the castle was abandoned now from 2011 through 2020

A nine-year period the base remained mostly untouched almost every other base from this era had already been documented and destroyed so its continued survival became even more impressive there’s evidence that the castle still received the occasional Explorer since more modern chunk borders could be found not far from the base but

It seems none of these explorers bothered to leave a sign that is until it was found by one of the most dedicated base hunters in the server’s history Courier six if you’re not familiar with him he’s been responsible for archiving many historic places on the server before they could be

Destroyed by Griefers such as Pop Bob’s secret end portal the remnants of the server’s most illegal stash and the list goes on he spent years following chunk trails and uncovering Mysteries in his spare time but in his travels he stumbled upon the pristine castle and was shocked by what he saw this was

Indeed an untouched build from 2011 which was shocking considering how close to spawn it actually was as he looked around the area and went through the chests he discovered the presence of alpha slabs wooden slabs with a missing texture icon meaning they had been created before August 1st 2012 well the

Castle was legitimate and so he took a world download of the entire area as soon as possible he would send it to some of his trusted contacts for preservation purposes but it wouldn’t be long before word got out and the castle began attracting more visitors these visitors would eventually give it the

Nickname of invisible Castle because it had survived so long despite being somewhat close to the spawn region it was practically invisible every visitor to the castle vowed to keep it a secret but they all had different ideas of how to preserve its history a few years back a different Base called the monastery

Had been destroyed by Griefers despite being hidden for many years it actually was one of the previous record holders for longest surviving base but the monastery was famous for having players add new sections to the base despite it being so old so taking inspiration some player years began adding their own

Creations near the invisible Castle including large obsidian builds a statue of Jesus a giant Maze and the list goes on the castle was becoming a full on tourist attraction the original old school feel of the base was quickly lost for the more modern look of these structures these visitors felt that

Their Creations were Reviving The Base in a way but not everyone shared this sentiment especially an archivist with a simple name chicken he believed that the base should be preserved as close to the 2011 original as possible and was not happy to see what it had become so he

Took it upon himself to fix it he single-handedly began removing every build and block that wasn’t original this included removing over thirty thousand blocks of obsidian from some of the massive structures he spent weeks taking down everything by hand without anyone noticing in a weird way he was

Essentially grieving a base in order to restore it to its former glory which is a humorous situation after about a month of non-stop work the base had been almost completely restored to its original condition you would have no idea that there had been dozens of other structures there previously in his eyes

It was mission complete by early 2023 the base had entered its 12th year of existence however tensions began to rise players that had built structures at the base found out about the removals and reactions ranged from indifferent to angry the place had become a ticking Time Bomb destruction was not a matter

Of if but when an archivist named caj had been living at the base for a while to keep an eye on it while he logged in on March 13 2023 and discovered that the base had been blown to Smithereens it had survive arrived 12 years just a hundred thousand blocks away from spawn

An incredible record but news of the destruction quickly spread and there was a new mystery who had actually grieved it the base had received so many visitors over a 12-year period that finding out who did it would be quite difficult players began pointing fingers at each other but there was no way to

Know for sure who had actually done it especially since no signs were left by the culprit this Castle had claimed the record of longest surviving base in 2b2t history but the record is a funny thing in order to receive it a base essentially has to get griefed and

Revealed to the public so there’s a good chance even older bases could still be out there but how appropriate that an unknown Builder created this place and an unknown Griefer had destroyed it sometimes the mystery is more intriguing than the reality but if you enjoyed this
