2b2t’s History of Lightning

Thunder and lightning in Minecraft – most players it’s just something that happens from time to time but on the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft thunderstorms have caused turmoil in ways that you wouldn’t think would be possible the only word I can use to describe the history of both thunder and

Lightning on to be 2t is chaotic admin created lightning storms that made players tremble in fear thunder being used to locate and destroy bases lightning storms that went on for actual days without end weather being banned altogether and glitched skeleton horses being spawned that had far more health

Than should have been possible so many crazy things have happened with weather like anything regarding to B to D history there’s a lot to talk about today so let’s get started in Minecraft thunderstorms were added to the game on April 19th 2011 in beta version 1.5 it

Wasn’t much later that to be 2t was updated to this version and thunderstorms began happening on to B to D weather and multiplayer was buggy at first but throughout 2011 it would become more stable nothing truly notable happened regarding weather on to be 2t until 2012 On February 27th 2012 longtime player xcc too was walking near spawn and encountered something that had never been seen before the server’s admin housemaster was experimenting with whether on the server and generated a massive lightning storm at zerozero with bolts landing every single second walking into it meant instant death

Since housemaster to this day is such a mysterious figure him playing with lightning only contributed to the mystique surrounding him early footage of to be 2t is very rare so the fact that xcc to capture this moment on film is spectacular and enough to make any to

Be to t history buff go crazy it also provides a great look at some of the earlier days of spying as the giant lava casts that spawn is known for today are missing this would not be the first time house would generate a thunderstorm like this on July 20th nearly five months

Later house would again create a powerful lightning storm except this time instead of all strikes being focused on a single block they were spread out over the immediate area of 0-0 as seen here to be 2 T player computer tech e observed the storm from afar and decided to record himself

Getting closer 0-0 was an absolute frenzy with lightning strikes coming down everywhere computer techie himself was struck by lightning believe it or not it’s harder to be struck by lightning in the Java edition of Minecraft than it is in the bedrock edition this is because in the bedrock

Edition lightning must spawn closer to the player due to spawn distance limits so to be struck in the job edition without admin interference is quite rare many players use the slash kill command to bring themselves to spawn to see the powerful storm it was total chaos house brought down the lightning hard as

Players scrambled away from the dangerous electricity fine to get killed it’s possible that housemaster generated other storms like this but these are the only two that we have on record after both of these tests had been done weather went back to normal on to be two T thunderstorms

Would happen from time to time and never with the intensity of the spawned storms however these normal thunderstorms would prove to be even more dangerous than housemaster storms the Thunder hack is perhaps one of the most infamous uses of thunder and lightning in to b2t history it was an exploit that allowed players

To find bases simply by using the sound of thunder while it sounds scary it actually has a pretty straightforward explanation as to how it works the first two v2t player to discover this method and use it was named a trick ax Thunder in Minecraft is actually a two-dimensional sound as it only moves

Along the x and z axis the sound of thunder can be heard up to a hundred and sixty thousand blocks away assuming you are in the overworld lightning can only strike in loaded chunks meaning that a player must be online and have the chunks loaded in order for the sound to

Be created here’s where the exploit comes into play by having three accounts logged in at different locations and using each one to listen for thunder directionally it’s possible to triangulate where exactly the strike came from while several players use this exploit it was most notably used by pop

Bob to find bases grief them and kill the inhabitants I was one of the victims of the Thunder hack as pop Bob triangulated the location of one of my fishing cabins back in the day and killed me quite easily since well I was just fishing after numerous complaints

About thunder being used to find bases house disabled thunder lightning on to e2t until a solution could be found and implemented even after thunder and lightning had been removed pop Bob and others were still able to grief basis since they had stockpiled a decent amount of court

During the exploit it was a very dark time for to be to tea builders for a long time the sound of thunder vanished rain storms and snowstorms would still occur on the server but never a thunderstorm it wasn’t until spring of 2016 that Thunder would be temporarily enabled since skeleton horses had been

Introduced in the 1.9 update house brought back storms so players could obtain them as well as using a fix with no cheat Plus that prevented directional thunder meaning the old triangulation method was useless it’s interesting to note that many of the skeleton horses generated from these storms had a

Whopping 25 to 26 hearts of health far greater than what was intended in vanilla minecraft and because they were not targeted by withers due to their undead status they became the most valuable horse to have on to b2t and they became necessities to have for the inhabitants of the spawn region even

Though the old triangulation method was useless there were rumors that hacked clients were able to intercept data packets being sent from players to the server regarding location of lightning strikes meaning thunder hack was still potentially possible house would disable thunder again about a month later and it

Would be absent for yet another year during this time the skeleton horses that had been created from the storms slowly began to vanish whether they were killed in battle where the victims of griefs or simply lost and abandoned these rare horses practically became ghosts lightning storms generating horses with this much health was

Actually a bug and not an intended feature so Mojang patched the bug while thunder and lightning were disabled on the server for the majority of 2016 I am aware of at least one skeleton horse still in existence with this much health on to b2t though I would not be

Surprised if there are still a few others in existence being it’s a complete secret I can’t say I blame the owners the horses are irreplaceable in early 2017 after another year of absence thunder and lightning returned – to b2t the skeleton horses that had practically become extinct were now being born into the

World again except this time the skeleton horses that were generated had only seven hearts of health the intended amount the storms were quite frequent and since this was the first time storms were enabled since the rusher wore a large number of players online meant that strikes would happen frequently

Occasionally players would get hit by lightning but thunder lasted a few weeks this time but since over a hundred players were on the server at any given time usually the storms were happening a bit too frequently and after more concerns of potential coordinate exploiting house disabled storms again

They would be disabled for a year and a half this time before house would bring them back one last time In September of 2018 housemaster brought back thunder and lightning for three days seemingly out of the blue for no reason except this time when the storm began it didn’t stop for almost three days straight the storm raged across the entire server with lightning being heard almost every single second even if you

Had used the hack know whether to turn off the rain the Thunder still raged on and there were no moments of silence this storm generated a massive amount of horses and when I say massive I mean we had never seen this many horses generated at one time before it was wild

This led some to speculate that house had enabled this storm just to refresh the dwindling population of Skelly horses as well as create a few charged creepers after the three days were over the storm finally ended and thunderstorms were disabled for the final time to this day house has not

Really been also to this day you will still hear the occasional lightning strike of a skeleton horse trap being set off the fact that even a year later horse traps are still going off should tell you just how many horses were generated in the neverending storm will

Thunderstorms ever return to to be two teeth maybe and I can assure you that if they do there will be no warning ahead of time hopefully you found this video shocking make sure to subscribe for more to b2t content also make sure to follow me on Twitter and Instagram to stay
