It’s been a crazy past few months for the oldest Anarchy server in Minecraft after over 6 years of waiting tb2t finally updated to the modern versions of Minecraft going from java 1.12 all the way to 1.9 an insane amount of in-game content to receive at once but the initial introduction of this update Almost killed the server entirely a huge list of controversial changes that had never been seen before caused outrage in the community these included deleting items that were over a decade old resetting of old chunks and even more basically it was no longer the 2b2 te That we all knew but after 10 days of chaos and turmoil the servers admin housemaster did an unprecedented roll back and reintroduced the update without all the controversial changes I’ve played tb2t for over a decade and I i’ never seen anything like this happen before so I can safely say that as of Right now yes 2b2 T is still the oldest Anarchy server in Minecraft but we were dangerously close to losing all of it so

description and thanks again to Disney speed storm for sponsoring today’s video so this all started in early August it was announced that after years of testing tb2t was finally ready to move From Minecraft 1.12 to 1. 19 from a technical standpoint this was once thought to be impossible given the age of 2b2 T’s map but through years of hard work testing and development it was finally a reality this massive jump inversions had the community excited we were finally getting the features that Had already been in the game for so long some had given up hope that the server would ever update so this was considered a big deal players started logging in to make preparations and there was a lot of excitement in the air I was ready to hop On as soon as the update was available well all of that would change very quickly on August 14th 2023 the update finally happened with the servers admin housem Master making the announcement publicly the community’s excitement and enthusiasm vanished instantly he had implemented massive changes that took Everyone by surprise the first of these Were item deletions officially called a soft item economy reset because of the large amount of duplication exploits over the years players were able to obtain more items than a single person could use in a lifetime of vanilla Minecraft it’s kind of expected on an anarchy server but according to house These duplicated items were responsible for the majority of the server’s past problems and so stacks of items such as n crystals Enchanted apples and totems were removed from from player inventories and stashes for example this meant that the stacks of golden apples that I had farmed legitimately 10 years Ago were now gone on top of this the actual list of removed items was greater than what house had initially announced notably a lot of redstone materials that had previously been used in large scale lag machines this item reset would force players to go out and obtain new Materials but since it’s an anarchy server that shouldn’t be a problem right well next comes anti- X-ray and stricter anti-che that’s right you cannot hack on the Anarchy Minecraft server the update would contain a plug-in that would prevent ores from rendering properly outside of player’s actual point of view The reason given was to slow down and reduce newer ores from being gathered too fast with cheats this was a problem not only for players but for Server historians as as well if you wanted to take world downloads of areas for preservation purposes they were no longer accurate beneath the surface the Next unpopular change was the trimming of old chunks according to house the size of the map had reached 23 terabytes in size which for a Minecraft world is absolutely absurd a big part of this was due to players creating massive chunk Trails due to Flying and movement Exploits these could go on for hundreds of thousands of blocks sometimes Millions so to decrease the amount of storage space needed some old chunks would be reset entirely the criteria for deletion was in which there is no possibility of having been modified by a player or realistically interacted with For a long enough time one of the major appeals of tb2t is the original map from 2010 and how almost none of it has ever been reset explorers would often follow chunk trails to find old bases and stashes removing old chunks meant removing history so this change also Caused an uproar there were even reports that chunks surrounding active bases had been reset despite being altered significantly by players so it clearly wasn’t working as intended now the rest of the changes were actually really good such as having Phantoms disabled map Arts no longer being reset increased mob Spawning and many other quality of Life Changes which made it all the more tragic that these three changes were so catastrophically bad that it didn’t matter no matter your play style nearly every player in the community was affected in the eyes of many despite this massive technical achievement and Outstanding server performance tb2t was dead and the outcry reflected that many in the community messaged house about how they had lost a lot of their progress over the years years and many others were upset that such drastic changes had been implemented without consulting the community some 2b2 Content creators such as s said they were done with the server entirely and many began to boycott the priority Q system by requesting refunds when I saw the changes I was not happy I have a very nomadic play style on the server so I don’t have a permanent base anymore I Move from place to place and I keep all of my supplies in Ender chests and shulkers the update removed large amounts of the gear that I had obtained over my decade of playing so it killed almost all of my motivation to try the update around the time I was also really Busy because me and the largest Spanish speaking 2b2 YouTuber were given an egg to race together it’s kind of a long story but my twitch viewers know all about it but back to 2b2 T some began to speculate as to why these unpopular changes had been made in the first place One theory was that the item reset was to help combat the sale of in-game items for real world money over the years a lot of shady things have happened in this part of the community some I’ve covered here on YouTube and some I haven’t so the theory that house was Trying to get rid of them was a popular one another conspiracy theory was that these changes were an attempt to bring tb2t more in line with Mojang’s recent guidelines about what is considered acceptable conduct for Minecraft servers but during the whole update ordeal I did manage to have email communication with House and was able to confirm that these changes had nothing to do with Mojang after a week had passed though it was clear that the update was a disaster while a small portion of the player base was happy the majority were not and the player numbers reflected that eventually Housemaster reached out to the community for feedback and actually listened into the player base it was clear that the only way forward was to do a roll back and redo the update without the controversial changes but this was a big risk because at the time 10 days had Already passed and a roll back that large had never happened in the server’s history house knew that the players that had spent 10 days grinding would be upset but considering the established community and paying customers were leaving it had to be done on the 26th of August 2023 the roll back was introduced And the update was reimplemented without the unpopular changes the player base rejoiced began returning in droves and the update was considered a massive success 2b2 T was saved but now it’s been almost 4 months since the roll back and you’ve probably been wondering why it took me so long to finally talk about This update well like many others in the community the initial update broke a lot of trust that I had in how 2b2 T is run and handled but seeing it Thrive now and seeing house actually go back on the original changes has rebuilt that trust and I finally feel ready to return so What’s next while I’ve messed around on the server on some alt accounts I actually haven’t logged into my main to experience the update yet there’s also a few other big stories I’ve been planning to cover but I wanted to wait for all the dust to settle before doing so and I Have a lot to accomplish now that everything here is set and done there’s only one thing left for me to do Video Information
