Why I HATE 2b2t

2b2t, now nicknamed “The Oldest Anarchy  Server In Minecraft” is renowned for its   rich history and community. Over the past  few years, millions of people have heard   about the server and it seems like every  youtuber and their cat have explored it. With such a large landscape filled  with unseen treasure and history,  

Who’s interest wouldn’t it peak? Well back  in 2018, it sure peaked mine. With a little   bit of basic knowledge and a $20 purchase of  future client, younger me was off to the races. Ever since then, I’ve stopped playing on the  server, but I’ve still paid attention to it.  

But as time has gone by, I’ve started  to realize something. 2b2t sucks. With it being plagued with a  combination of cringy kids,   slow performance, an infuriating  queue and boring monotonous gameplay,   I couldn’t even imagine being one of these fat  neets that spends their entire day sitting on  

Discord talking about the server. While, yes,  it’s new nickname “The Oldest Anarchy Server   In Minecraft” is accurate, its old nickname  fits far better. The World’s worst server. Yes, I know that this is one of the lowest hanging  fruits to grasp at but it is so true. 2b2t has  

A problem; a big one: is unbelievably slow in  more ways than one. First you have the queue.   Now the queue was added back  in 2016 in order to keep the   server from crashing because of all  of Rusher’s fans invading the server  

And it still serves a similar purpose  today. If everyone could join 2b2t   automatically I think hausemaster’s computer  would explode and light his crack den on fire. The queue is a necessary evil for  a server like 2b2t. But does that   make it any more bearable? Hell  no it still sucks just as much.  

Being forced to wait upwards of 5 hours  on a shittly loading screen is absolute   aids and I have no idea how anyone does it. Like  imagine if the loading screen for any other game   took hours to finish. That game would be super  unpopular right? Right??? Well I guess not.

It seems like hundreds of people every day  subject themselves to it. Think of the thousands   of collective hours absolutely WASTED every  week to pretty much a glorified loading screen.   You might be thinking: “Why don’t you just  buy priority queue?” Well if you do that you  

Still have to wait like 2 hours to get  on the server plus you have to pay $20   a month. At that point you should  consider professionally drinking. And even with all this, sometimes the  queue just stops working out of the blue,   forcing you to wait another  five hours. Just wonderful.

Now even with the queue being absolutely  unbearable, it is absolutely necessary   for the server to not devolve into an absolutely  unplayable laggy mess. Oh wait? It already is one. Logging onto the server is an absolute  crapshoot because you have to gamble hours  

Out of your day on whether the server  is currently shitting itself or not. The lag on the server can get so bad at times  that it takes minutes just to eat a piece of food. Sometimes the server will get so  laggy that when you generate new land,  

The land generates, but you have  to wait a bit for the trees. There are so many little problems  that this lag causes on the server:   not being able to hit enemies, not being able to  shoot a bow, not being able to break blocks, not  

Being able to move, not being able to open chests,  random disconnects. I think you get the point. However, that’s not the only thing about 2b2t  that’s slow. Lets take a look at its community. In all of my time on the internet, I have never  seen a community nearly as awful as 2b2t’s.  

It’s like the only two types of  people who play on the server are fat   neckbeard reddit incels who spend their whole  day begging their mom to buy them priority queue   and 12 year olds who also spend their whole day  begging their mom to buy them priority queue.

A perfect showcase of this is the  2b2t subreddit which you have to have,   at most, a single digit IQ to post on.  Either it’s some hyper autistically   niche server drama or its some kid larping as  Christopher Columbus discovering the new world.

Speaking of larping, 2b2t larpers are an extremely  annoying part of the server’s community. A larper   can be any age, typically 12-17 years old, have  little social life outside of reddit and discord,   and will only aspire to be well  known on a shitty minecraft server.

A member of this group will likely  consider himself a “2b2t Historian”,   most likely by watching one or two FitMC videos. They will also likely have a youtube channel and   will promote it non stop due to  their immense hunger for clout.

Let’s take a look at someone who may  very well fit into this category. “The Horizon” is a youtuber with  nearly 500 thousand subscribers   and a total pussy who whines about getting  banned from youtuber’s comment sections. Let’s take a look at his about section. “Q: Shoutout? A: No, sorry! Shoutouts  

Only bring low engagement subscribers  and actually hurt more than they help.” Man talk about concern trolling. Keep  in mind that this is the same dude that   tries to kiss up to big youtubers to  get them to play on his shitty smp.

Cringe is an understatement when talking about  this guy. Just look at some of these tweets. “My goal is to make my youtube  videos as high quality as possible,   and more like movies than videos in the future.  Making epicer videos just makes me happy lul”

Here we can see that without a doubt the  larp runs strong in this one especially   coming from a guy who isn’t even a  text to speech youtuber but only text   and when he does make a video with his voice,   the audio quality sounds like he  recorded it over a phone call.

“I love opening up Reddit and seeing a billion   posts about the Ukraine –  Russia war out of nowhere” Now disregarding the Ukraine stuff,  this just proves that he’s a redditor   which further solidifies him  into the larper category. “I remember in the 3rd grade,  

The teacher made an assignment asking  me what I wanted to be when I grew up. … I said youtuber” Ok I feel like this one is  pretty self explanatory. However, the larpers aren’t even the  most annoying group on the server.   No, even more annoying than the  larpers are what I call the Copers.

These would be the people who make fun  of the larpers for being losers while   sitting in a discord call wasting away at  their desk having not showered in weeks. While they claim to be self aware, they are  actually just as un self aware as the larpers.

This group can be found all over  2b2t group discord servers and   are frequently found in 2b2t discord calls  complaining about the state of the server   yet continuing to play on it and  give hausemaster money anyway. These are the kind of people to know that  what they’re doing is cringe yet do it anyway.

A perfect example of a Coper is  literally anyone in the Infinity   Incursion or BSB. Someone who Has autism, is  always online, and has nothing better to do. Another annoying facet of 2b2t’s  community is 2b2t’s huge child fan base,   whose idea of humor is filling the  chat with the n word every two seconds.

For such an adult server as 2b2t it  is alarming how many 12 year olds   log on and clog the queue even more. The server is absolutely filled with children  just the same as mineplex or hypixel.   Truly says a lot about our society.

These are kids that will idolize  and iconicize random players on 2b2t   like the morbidly obese popbob and other players  who haven’t seen a ray of sunlight in years. Yes, 2b2t has one of the most cancerous  fanbases out of any minecraft community,   not even mentioning the numerous cases of doxing,  

Malware distribution, and even a man being  swatted for saying that he would kill obama. However there’s something even worse about  the server than its cancerous fanbase.   The server… is really fucking boring. Now it’s fairly common knowledge that  2b2t is not actually an anarchy server.  

People are frequently stripped of  priority queue for their actions. This goes back all the way  to 2016 when a 2b2t youtuber,   named Torogadude, got his priority queue  status removed due to him being involved   with a group that had hacked one of  rusher’s friend’s skype accounts. Players today are now banned from buying priority  

Queue due to them building lag machines  which disrupt the server’s performance. However, 2b2t does allow hacked clients  on the server, and while they are severely   limited due to some of the server’s  plugins there is no rule against them. But throughout the server’s history,  trouble caused by hacked clients has  

Caused the server’s owner, hausemaster, to make  some pretty invasive changes to the server. These changes are in the form of removing  vanilla features from the server. Three of these features that he has removed  over the years are accessing the nether roof,   shulker item lists, and elytras.

The first feature, accessing the nether  roof, is a glitch that can be performed   by using boats or minecarts to move  through the bedrock ceiling of the nether.   While obviously not intended by the developers,  it is still a feature of the vanilla game which  

Hasn’t been removed from the game ever since  the nether was added 12 years ago in 2010. Hausemaster disabled this feature due to  traveling on the nether roof making it very   easy to load new chunks fast. His patch for this  was to kill you if you ever ended up on the roof.

The second feature, shulker item lists,  was a small list of the items inside   of a shulker box that could be viewed in  your inventory without opening the box up. This was removed due to people being able  to exploit these lists to get people banned  

By filling them with very large books  created by hacked clients, in order to   “Bookban” someone from the server, which pretty  much meant that you couldn’t joining the server   until you emailed hause to  reset your inventory data. Normally this wouldn’t be a super huge  deal however this also disabled the .peek  

Function of hacked clients which allowed the user   to see the entirety of the inside  of a shulker without placing it. The final and largest feature to be  removed from the server are elytra.  These are the wings that can be  found in airships in the outer end  

That allow you to glide throughout the world or  to fly if you use rockets to propel yourself. This fast and convenient method  of travel was removed for,   well, being too fast. When flying at incredibly  fast speeds with the use of hacked clients,   chunks would generate extremely fast which  would cripple the server’s performance.

Elytras were disabled on  2b2t in September of 2017,   re-enabled in August of 2019, disabled again  in September of 2020, and finally, re-enabled   again in January of 2021 although they are still  less reliable and more glitchy than in vanilla. However, keeping these disabled features in  mind, the things that have been taken away  

From the server have had much less of an impact  than the things that haven’t been added to it. Minecraft version 1.12.2 This is a version of minecraft that  was released on September 18th,   2017, more than four and a half years ago. This is the version of the  game that 2b2t is still on.

Think of all 2b2t is missing out on right  now. 1.13 added a whole new revamped ocean,   1.14 completely reworked villages, 1.15  added… uh… fuckin bees or something,   1.16 added brand new nether biomes, 1.16 and  1.17 completely redid caves and world generation,   and 2b2t has none of that.

2b2t is permanently stuck on the world of color  update seeing none of the game’s new features. One of the reasons that Minecraft doesn’t  become super stale and boring over time   (mostly) is that every once in a  while, new features are added which  

Enhance the game or at least prolong  your enjoyment of it a little bit. 2b2t does not have that. The server’s owner, hausemaster,   has been teasing updating the server for  years but to this day it has never happened. Now I understand why the server can’t  update. Minecraft’s code severely limits  

How much the game can fully take  advantage of the cpu of a computer   and this applies not only to normal minecraft  users, but also to minecraft servers. Pretty much, 2b2t is running on  the absolute best hardware possible   but minecraft can only utilize a small  fraction of the hardware’s real power.

This means that all of the new features   and slowdown introduced in the newer versions  of the game would make 2b2t an unplayable mess. As each version of the game passes by,   I feel less and less confident that  2b2t will actually ever update.

I would like to be wrong on this one but I  have a feeling that 2b2t won’t ever update. Now you might be asking yourself: “Why would  anyone in their right mind play on this server?”   And my answer to that question… Hell if I know.

In 2017 there was some drama  on 2b2t caused by a player   named griff losing his veteran queue  status due to building lag machines. Around the time FitMC uploaded a  really based video on the subject. Just take what he says here and  extrapolate it onto all of 2b2t.

“If you play stupid games,  you’ll win stupid prizes”  Only in this case, stupid games are  2b2t and stupid prizes are no bitches.
