Minecraft Anarchy – Babylon: The Secret Megabase

In the midst of a civil war bases were falling left and right one of the biggest group bases had just been grieved which left many players without a place to live at but then a player named athena stone quietly sent out a message in a fallen group’s discords proposing the idea of babylon

Nobody really paid any attention to the message except for one player named silent interroper that’s when babylon was born in this video we’re gonna go over the crazy history of the group that built babylon featuring stories from how they built the server’s largest megabase in absolute secrets how they deputed their

Existence by pulling off the dragon egg heist and how after turning the entire server against them they incited their rival group up until their unfortunate downfall this group has many stories to tell oh and of course i’ll be touring the base at the end of the video so keep

Watching now a little info about the server this all happened on a server that has now been shut down called specterium this was a regular energy server owned by edoc the same person that now owns an easy vanilla that’s why most players it will be mentioned in

This video either play an easy vanilla or have quit after bacterium shut down Babylon didn’t just come out of nowhere to fully understand all the insane stories that i’m gonna tell you guys today i need to set the scene a little bit so there were two big groups on specterium that played a role in the history of babylon the first one was

Created in february of 2020 by a player named liquidity x and royce houghton teamv became a very powerful group very quickly in april of the same year aurora empire is created by razak with solomaker and mindspace they started a small base called fort imperius but soon they would

Invite hci sigma over by and others which would lead to this base growing very quickly as well the server now had these two very powerful groups and razak from aurora empire proposed an alliance with team v well team v accepted this this would later be known as the new alliance the

New alliance was now the sole power of the server ae was expanding fast and forth imperious was getting too small that’s when a member of aurora empire proposed to open up their personal base to become the main base of ae this would be catrapolis but they would also create a new

Sub-branch called the ae army this was a place for new players and these players would stay at fort imperius there was a problem though the aurora empire army started getting out of control which was almost expected because there were a bunch of other geared players that were

Just talking the chat the entire time and they weren’t just annoying team v they were also annoying the community the worst offender was the leader himself razock but with his army our empire now was the biggest group having at least half of the player base in their group at the time

In may the fourth imperius got leaked and team v would grief it this was the first act of war but it wasn’t until two team v members attacked two ae members at spawn when all hell broke loose the new alliance was broken and the civil war began bases were grieved like stigma

Over by solo base the prismarine is yours And catrapolis the main base of ae Almost all ae members at spawn were killed because team v started their incursion and they named it inversion they would simply camp spawn and not let anyone enter or leave the war wasn’t good for aurora empire multiple members left because they didn’t like being targeted all the time

And there was just so much trauma around it all soon after this all ae got disbanded and the civil war ended it was during this war that athena’s tongue proposed tablon silent interloper was the only interested player and he went to babylon on foot because he had

Nothing to lose and nowhere else to go babylon started just like any other base a plot of land they started terraforming the base and athena built the cigarette that’s when stigma overpay was invited but when he arrived the base was still in its infant stages the three of them

Started planning out the base and soon after more players were secretly invited the first player who was invited after sigma was 8zi due to his building skills and his friendship with sigma soon after they decided to also recruit chaosik as his main base catropolis was grieved by team v

Furthermore he was extremely proficient at building farms and he had a history with hci and sigma because they were both in the aurora empire together lastly eccentric cats a famous old player was invited by hci due to them having history together and him being a great builder later on more and more

Players started to get invited such as bow oak real rocket and mindspace the building of the base was one of the most active times of the group when all the terraforming was done the group hopped in the discord call and drew up a map by hand to decide where each build

Would go for hours babylon divided the base into various sections which would be divided by the tall majestic walls of the base in order to prevent burnout there was a general timeline of how long each build would take which would ensure that building wouldn’t stagnate along with having strict deadlines the group

Also had some strict rules which all members had to follow the obvious ones were to not leak chords to not leak any pictures and to follow the theme of the building style in general these were pretty understandable rules however one of the golden rules and the oddest one was to not talk about

Babylon’s existence the democratic leader of the group athena’s ordered for everyone to keep the group’s existence secret even after the group debuted eventually babylon did not consider themselves to be a group on the contrary they considered themselves to be a collection of builders trying to create a megabase each member contributed to

The base on their own way chaosek and hci build farms they built the iron form in the pyramids the gold farm pumpkin bamboo guardian they built it all athena built the cigarette and the walls eccentric cat built a very cute city in one of the sections hci and real soccer

Together built the dock area sigma built the hanging gardens and the tower of babel and also added a few small details across the base most prominently the archways along the pathways silent interloper had built a tavern and a coliseum and the tower of knowledge work was hard but rewarding as after

Only three months most of the base was finished along with it being a megabase it was also known as the one base that had all possible farms imaginable despite no player knowing the existence of babylon it was by far the richest group on the server surpassing team v on

Every front this is when babylon was in its prime the base was just built all the members were active and i think now it’s time to talk about the tales of babylon the insane events that this group was involved in on specterium The dragon egg has been in possession of many people one of the last owners was eccentric cats he dropped the egg by accident when showing it off at another player’s farewell party a player named soytoid picked it up making him the new owner of the egg hzi owed eccentric cat

A lot he made him not quit the server and because of that he found himself in babylon so hci decided to take the egg back from the one who took it he came up with a plan to deceive sword swords hci asked babylon members to help

Him create loads of combos so it looked like he was capable of duping he then showed this proof of duping to soitzoids and told him that together they could dupe to dragonack as to not scared soyzote away hci promised him that he would come alone and naked however hci did not show up

Completely alone on the other side with the portal from where he and sawyed were meeting eccentric cat and silent were hiding waiting on hci’s signal so it was time to pull off the scam in order to get soito’s car down hci came up with this

Fake dupe he told him that if you break a chest while at the same time remove the item inside it one item would go in your inventory while another copy of it would drop from the chest so he put the chest down saw it so he put the dragon egg in and

The second hci took the egg out of the chest he logged out that was the signals for the others to go through the portal and take out switzerland the heist was pulled off successfully and babylon now possessed the only dragonag this was also the revealing act of babylon as a team

After so so it was dealt with its dialogue back in and gave the dragon egg back to eccentricat the rightful owner of the egg The lawrence case this is one of the biggest things to ever happen to the server the events took place not long after the dragon egg heist so after babylon revealed themselves as a group a lot of groups took notice some wanted alliances and so a large alliance of

Teams was made it was called the second alliance and it was organized by triggered cat every big group in the server joined this alliance to keep peace including team v and babylon this caused for a spawn event where all members of the alliance would do a spawn meetup as a show of fate

Almost all members of the alliance came to the event including babylon however a mysterious new player named lawrence s d also joined the spawn events along with the rest of the server soon after another mysterious player named frost’s sight came to the spawn event and started to attack players

Crystalling lauren’s st in the process many players in the alliance tried to kill frost sights soon after but he got away after the event that ended many players including babylon accused frost sight of being a team v alt team v profusely denied this and as there was no

Conclusive proof at the time the accusations were not met with action a couple of days after the event the mysterious player lawrence st had come back and this time he had written a 15 page manifesto outlining his grievances of team v the manifesto was written in old english and it outlined the creal

Nature of team v and their crimes against the server such as griefing bases killing random players for fun and ganging up on smaller groups many people did not take him too seriously though now this lawrence guy was extremely well geared despite having a fresh join dates

And he even held his spawn event where he gave away 50 free kits at this point it was very clear that lauren’s sd was wasn’t out for someone the question was who after spawn event organized by lawrence the server became more friendly towards him however that all changed when there was another

Second alliance event the second alliance event was also at spawn this time at the reunion castle a famous spawn structure made out of obsidian once the event started lawrence started attacking tv members some tv players were killed and he even caused liquidity the leader of team v to combat log once

Team v got re-geared they started to hunt lawrence down lawrence finally fled after more and more players started to join the fights and the very next day lawrence along with some other players started to creep this castle many players of the alliance including pavlon members started to

Fight lawrence and try to stop him from grieving it sadly it was not enough and teamview members called on everyone to stop preparing the castle as it would only give lawrence more obsidian to mine true it had seemed that lawrence had won despite being an enemy of the alliance

There was a good portion of the player base who did not hate lawrence players found steamv increasingly unpopular and when a player was finally standing up to them it was met with sheer support after the scuffles between team v and lawrence worsened there was one instance where

Storm a member of team v again was killing players at spawn and stealing their gear this was the final straw for lawrence and he gathered three chokers of tnt with a simple goal he was going to eliminate all the dmv bases and that’s what he did

Lawrence grieved all three of the team v main bases in one day arenas team v’s research base equilibrium tv’s member base and finally ebola dmv’s magnum opus who was this lawrence guy and how did he grieve every team fee pays out of nowhere well it’s time to reveal the truth

He was paul oak a member of babylon secretly the leader of babylon adinas knew who lawrence was all along lawrence didn’t just find and grieve those team v bases out of nowhere babylon had found all these three bases before by base hunting because well team v was the

Biggest threat to babylon so babylon needed some sort of power to hold over team v if it ever came to that babylon members spent the days base hunting for these team v bases athena found one base chaosik found another and 8ci found the last one so babylon had all the chords to the

Teamv bases but i suppose i just didn’t want to grieve them right now in fear of teamv coming after babylon but now knowing that paul was in babylon and all these courts to these bases were already gathered by babylon it’s not that weird that he griefed he’s all in one day right

And actually athena and cayotic grieved one of these three bases in the name of lawrence now after this all happened steamv was obviously visibly upset they had lost all their progress and resources in their discord they were discussing who lawrence could be until a player named milhandro used some

Deductive reasoning to work out that it was very likely a player named paul oak a member of babylon lawrence’s name history was very sus the book he wrote was very like larpy something that paul would do and a lot of things just matched now after teamv came with this conclusion they confronted silent

Interroper about this and silent just admitted it once teamv confirmed this to the rest of the server all hell broke loose team v confronted paul oak about it and well paul claimed that he did it because of all the terrible things that tmv has done in the past creating

Prismarine shores and all the other bases and killing all the players soon after team v went to the second baptist church the group base started by bao and griefed it after being berated by team v even more athinas the leader of babylon admitted that he knew about paul oak’s identity

From the very beginning and that he along with chaosek grieved vs megabase ebola however this outback fired on babylon of course and put a massive target on babylon’s back this all brings us to the next story operation mirage after paul oak had been outed as lawrence st the player that killed many

Team v members and destroyed all their bases tv as well as the entire server condemned babylon all members of the base were put on kill on sight with massive bounties on their heads understandably babylon was starting to sweat there were many players who were hunting for babylon with malicious

Intents and it seemed that at this rate babylon would be found very soon after some discussions in the babylon discord the group decided that they would employ some heavy countermeasures to protect their base and most importantly expand and widen their horizons player sigma overbuy would start the concept of a dummy base

About 6000 blocks away from the main base he created a small base with a lot of resources beacons farms buildings and the nether portal would lead to the dummy base and sigma of course hoped that base hunters would be happy with all the resources that this small base

Would offer so they wouldn’t go look further and surprisingly this strategy worked notorious team v members named mihandro found the dummy base while base hunting for babylon and he was fooled by it although the strategy was successful the group knew it was a simple short-term solution to a long-term problem that was

Likely never going to fade this was when the idea of a second base was brought to light a second base would be a good fallback base if babylon was ever grieved and it could be a good opportunity to invite new players and expand the member count this second base

Was eventually dubbed castra nova like babylon it was going to be a massive undertaking if the group’s expectations of the base would match reality there was no doubt that castronova would be the successor to babylon however there was one obstacle on their way team v after losing their main base and their

Other farm bases due to babylon they were out for blood and desperate to salvage some of their pride they were constantly camping spawn paying players to go hunt for babylon and doing anything that would inconvenience bamloon just a little bit eventually stigma overpaid and hci cooked up a foolproof plan operation mirage

Pow oak wasn’t the only person with a secret alt sigma over pi confessed to hci that he was shrank 23. sigma had built up shrank to be a famous base hunter in the server he had used strang’s accounts to grieve multiple important bases from courts that were

Sent by actual base hunters like athena chaosek and himself so in the eyes of the server srang was just this very good base hunter that somehow found a lot of bases and sigma over pi was going to use shrine to complete operation mirage the operation had three main goals the first

One was to distract team v by getting them to leave spawn so the members could move valuable resources from babylon to the new base without getting caught or followed the second one was to convince team v and the rest of the server that the base was actually located in the end

The last goal was to inside team v using shrank 23. two weeks before operation started hci athenas and silent went to the end and created a fake outpost about 80 000 blocks away from spawn in order to make the outposts as legitimate as possible the outpost was littered with various

Resources such as building blocks xp farms ally trust g-sets and everything that would make it credible enough two weeks later the operation was greenlit shrank 23 would go end hunting for babylon and would come across the outpost by sheer luck soon after he would dm liquids to coordinates and send

Screenshots after he did this strangled ambushed and he had to log out but his logo spot was strapped by athenas and hci liquid made his way all the way to this end outpost and started to 2v1 8ci and atinas during the fight atinas made a big mistake by accidentally putting on

Their chest bait instead of their elytra and they fell onto the voids so hci was left to 1v1 liquids but he had to get his armor repaired so he threw away once hci ran away this gave liquid enough time to freeze shrank the entire ordeal looked realistic and looking at how

Stacked the ant outpost was it would be clear that the eblon was located in the end furthermore it was also confirmed that silent and the others had moved all the resources to castranova finally after some chatting in the vc and the team v discord strength 23 had

Finally been given the member role in the team v discord meaning that sigma had successfully incited them babylon against all odds completed operation mirage successfully Sadly things didn’t start to look too good near the end of 2020 member silent interroper was showing a screen share of babylon to triggered cats but he had his coordinates on soon after trick travelled to babylon but once he arrived there he found the base too beautiful to grief

So he decided to keep it a secret sadly another scuffle would occur soon afterwards with hci accidentally screen sharing the base to perspex a member of team v things were turning really bad now almost all active members of babylon came online preparing for a self-grief however hci managed to convince berserks

To not grieve babylon how well they knew each other in real life and they didn’t really want to have a fight about minecraft so perstrix agrees not to grieve babylon this created a ceasefire between team v and babylon and this was commemorated by a statue after this alliance some select

Members of team v and some other popular players cut coordinates to the base players like milhandro waxer and mopo visited the base and saw it in person it looked like things were going pretty well for babylon however that all changed when a new group called the holy inquisition was founded

The group was unironically racist and homophobic and graffin himself was the worst offender on february of 2021 the holy inquisition demanded that the group babylon changed its name because it has a sinful reference to the bible babylon refused this and the next day babylon would be grieved by dhi Is [Applause] [Applause] So The grief lasted for about an hour but the griefing had to stop because thai ran out of tnt and flint and steals after this i left the base was surprisingly recognizable however after the grief baron had to say goodbye to the base state terrorists and they continued to work on the new megabase

Castranova some time later castronova got grieved as well and later on the server shut down It is time for the base tour oh my god i have spent hours so many hours days working on this video it’s finally completely edited and and like done you know everything you guys saw before is done by now and i waited all the way to

The end to record the base tour so i can actually like take it all in after studying specterium and babylon to the fullest i read over the wiki like so many times i oh my god the script writing for this view was terrible it was like the longest process ever and

The editing dude don’t even get me started on editing it was terrible but it’s it paid off i love how the video turned out and i can’t wait to now finally explore the base so we begin here in the hanging gardens built by sigma over

Pi also the house of the dragon egg is right here and sadly all the books don’t work they weren’t put into the world download which is pretty sad but you know some things just get lost in time it just it happens like that but man these hanging gardens sigma over pie is an

Insane builder bro like everyone at this base not just stigma everyone that lived here was insane at building so let’s start here at the harbor harbor is one of my favorite places of the base it’s so cute it’s built so beautifully oh my god can you imagine that ships actually

Worked in minecraft dude i wish that would be so cool maybe one day you know that would be a nice addition to minecraft now here’s the first building of babylon the cigarette built by tongue and i don’t think i fully shown the cigarettes in the video like the

Underground part of it you could see it a little bit in the grief part but let me show you guys because this is insane this is actually insane look at this it’s an entire like filter trading hall but like mega mega level you know what i mean

It’s insane look at how big this is what a trading hall beautiful place you know the attention to detail to this megabase is actually insane all the walls are detailed you know the work that sigma will bite it without these things man this beautiful village i wish i

Could build villages like this you know even though they’re all the same house it doesn’t you don’t notice it right because when they all come together it’s like one big city and that’s what makes it so cool i just can’t get over these walls they’re so epic bro these walls oh

My god hell yeah then you have all the farm areas by hci chaosik i think it was that helped him with it and while this world download was taken before the entire base was finished there are a few more buildings in the finished base but sadly they didn’t take a world out of

That because well of course they couldn’t know that the base was about to get griefed right here is the gold farm it’s a not massive one you know it could have been bigger i love when bases don’t just think about the farms but also think about aesthetics around the farms

Every building in here has his has its function right the cigarette has the trading hall this has the gold farm and under a pyramid is a massive iron farm and even this iron farm just looks so good and that’s what i like about this place that i don’t just focus on

Building the farms because everyone can make a farm it’s special when groups focus on the aesthetics of a base more than you know the efficiency of farms and something that i haven’t mentioned in the video is that the tower of babel actually is one big creeper farm look it’s creeper farm

So even the tower of babel has its own function and yeah this tower is also built by sigma over pi but yeah you can go all the way up here and here we have a little room for music discs i don’t know but it’s a beautiful place to to be at

To look at the city like i spent so many hours learning everything there is about babylon and the groups that they associated with on specterium that walking around here i just feel it’s it almost feels like i i lived part of this history right just reading so much about it

It’s so insane the gates to babylon also look amazing on video i one of the most fun things i found about this place is that it’s very aesthetically pleasing so making replay mod footage is a lot of fun and the render that schnozmok made i don’t know

If you guys have seen the thumbnail but the thumbnail was actually a render completely made in blender so it took many hours and zono schmuck actually made that he’s super talented kai also plays on an easy vanilla so shout out to josh mock the pages looks so good when

It’s rendered and just looking around like bro it’s so beautiful now guys i wanted to do something so you know how now we’ve seen the base in its full glory now i asked edok for a road download of babylon but the griefed version so specterium shutdown but edoc

Of course still has the world downloads of the entire server so i gave him the court of babylon and he gave me a road download of the grief babylon so i could look around so let’s take a look at it and see how much damage was actually done to this beautiful megabase well

Right now we are standing on the same place where we started the previous base tour damn bro the hanging gardens have had better days oh yeah this is really really up um there’s not much recognizable here you kind of see the outline a little bit

But it looks kind of sad and take a look at the rest of this base oh my god yup this is babylon hey this that ship is still pretty much intact right i mean the gold farm is pretty recognizable and the arena let us see better days as well well

This is not how the base looked after the holy inquisition grieved it by the way not at all the base looked way way way more intact after the holy inquisition came true i’m just guessing that a lot of other groups came to babylon to grieve it or the holy

Inquisition just came back to grieve it more but after grief the base was pretty much intact and you can probably see it at the end of the grief that not that much damage was done by dhi in the first grief but right now yeah this base is is

Gone there’s no uh there’s barely any wall left and the tower of babel is just just a lava cast yep oh my god man what the why would people go to such lengths to grieve the base like it was already gone and destroyed like come on man it’s like unrecognizable right now holy

it’s just like tnt bomber went over this but yeah this is how babylon looked like on the last day of bacterium before it shut down pretty insane looking back on it you know on all the things that babylon did as a group and this beautiful base that i built if i

Wasn’t here to make this video even though it took me way too long and it was like terrible to write the video and make it at the end of the day i’m very happy that i made this video i just think it’s a very cool story that i had to just

Tell now of course i didn’t do this video all by myself i had a lot of help like the stories everything came from sigma over by and hci they provided me with most of the information and of course the wiki so anyone that’s you know edited the wiki back when

Specterium was still live well you guys helped me make this video as well yeah but especially sleeping over by he helped me so much and he’s a super nice guy so shout out sigma over by thank you thank you but right now i think it’s finally time to end the video that i’ve

Been working on for so long so if you haven’t subscribed yet please do join the discord and you know leave a like on the video while you’re at it you know i don’t know if liking videos does anything but why why the hell not right

I hope you enjoyed the video i i really enjoyed making it i guess this is how every bass ends in energy
