We Opened a HARDCORE ANARCHY Minecraft Server. This is what happened.

Let’s face it anarchy servers like tb2t aren’t really that hard anymore if anything it’s probably easier than vanilla survival with all the duped items along with a plethora of hacks in your disposal and even highly advanced artificial intelligence like baritone that can literally escape spawn for you

Automatically but wait what if you just had one shot to survive what if you couldn’t rely on hacks and cheats to do everything in fear of a glitch leading to death what kind of chaos would ensue would organization and group efforts happen will there even be anything interesting as players cower and fear

Would the super even stay alive with players constantly dying that’s what horizon anarchy is here to answer i’ll be walking you through some of the amazing things that truly talented players have done with just a single life in a hellscape with no rules welcome to horizon anarchy the anarchy

Server with the most bands but before we start i want to quickly thank sparkles for sponsoring this video sparctos is one of the highest quality and most affordable server hosting solutions out there but more on them later prequel it all started two years ago i was just curious if a hardcore minecraft server

Existed and with the help of google found 2b2t it wasn’t actually hardcore but i enjoyed it nonetheless as i recently quit a payload minecraft server that i’ve been playing on for six years and found a faction known as the horizon but through this time i was curious

About what would happen if tb2t was hardcore of course he would die too quickly but then i suddenly became a youtuber and found myself in the perfect opportunity to try something like this as i can keep the server ip on my channel page for a constant flow of new

Players i then got two of my devs g basil and that guy to help me with this endeavor i scheduled an announcement two days earlier to build up hype and now two days later the announcement was about to go off so he enjoyed the last bit of peace until chaos struck Day one launch day immediately once the ipos dropped people began joining in [Applause] unfortunately the random server host i was using at the time really couldn’t handle the amount of players joining in and the tps tipped quickly and as the tps lowered players began hiding underground and in walls as they couldn’t risk death the tps just kept lowering as i was running on the latest

Versions of minecraft which are far more strenuous on the cpu but as players became more and more stacked and powerful it wasn’t long until they began fighting each other but despite the low tps and the hardcore nature it wasn’t long until friendships emerged too [Applause] players struggled to survive as the tps

Was dipping to nearly unplayable levels but some succeeded grinding enchanted diamond gear and bypassing a horrible anti-cheat which also made players stuck while working on fixing the anti-cheat we opened up a discord server for players who get teleported out by admins as we couldn’t kill them due to it being

Hardcore while looking for someone to help i found this guy stuck in the ground and when i was about to teleport him out another player just came and saved him which was quite surprising on this server in fact the player that he saved was known as lightning bulb was

Actually on his way to be the first one to get the ender dragon the race to the ender dragon lightning bulb was determined to get the dragon egg first and posted his entire journey on youtube he gathered some gear found a stronghold and entered it Unfortunately the dragon knocked him off and he died but soon enough the player that saved him ozone was phosphory went ahead and got the dragon egg first making him the unofficial king of the server soon after he fought the weather making him the first person to get the dragon egg and

The nether star He even fought the weather with the dragon egg in his inventory spawn lava casts in less than a day players built lava casts at spawn lava casting at least this early in the server’s existence is one of the most dangerous things you can do as you’re

Just one miss up away from falling into the lava you placed or falling off the cast what’s interesting is that these two players were lava casting right next to each other this was very dangerous but they probably didn’t attack each other because they wanted to stay peaceful and not start conflict

Now the server began looking more like a true hellscape The invisible sign valley a player by the name of drinking carrots really wanted to plug his youtube channel so badly so that he placed an entire valley of signs at spawn with nothing more than simple and basic iron armor he placed a lot of signs but unfortunately the

Signed value was way too laggy on the fps getting me lower than 30 fps most of the time so i had to remove it as with a vanilla client the leg would be absolutely unbearable i first decided to try it world at it but for some reason

It just didn’t work i tried a lot of things but then decided to remove it and add it back because i was just lost but then the signs became invisible i don’t know how it happened or even how to reverse it nor did i properly know how

To remove signs with world edit so there just wasn’t much i could do the leg was gone anyway so i guess i completed my job and decided to silently move away still it’s a mystery to me why these signs became invisible it’s probably a world edit bug but i’ll just let this

Video be my bug report the spawn cafe am carrots was upset about his channel plug being removed so he decided to build a sign plucking his youtube channel out of wood at the center of the world and he even built a cafe right underneath it for players to stop by and

Meet each other but as cool as it was it was made out of wood which was very easy to grip so as fast as it came it disappeared but the spawn cafe truly never died players kept constantly rebuilding out of new materials at least for quite a while the spawn cafe was

First rebuilt by johncar66 which was now made of cobblestone instead but it still kept its general shape and was the same as the old cafe but patched up but obviously with some tnt it wouldn’t last for long so the spawn cafe was rebuilt yet again with a greater variety of

Materials they even had an electric departure area but it was still quite easy to get blown up though so now it has been rebuilt yet again but out of obsidian this time it was much harder to grief and was now a significant nether portal hub for players to go to although this

Lasted for much longer it was so often renovated by the player base like for example they added trees here and they even built a sign wall for passerbys to place their names what surprises me is how it hasn’t been griefed yet another player expanded the spawn cafe by adding multiple nether

Portal layers they even created this insane elytra stunt course I also decided to try it out myself Unfortunately time caught up with the spawn cafe as of the present day the spawn cafe is now entirely gone and now replaced by this lava cast but there are still many many more impressive things on this server another infrastructure originally we decided to keep the nether roof enabled

I thought it would be vanilla as i wanted to keep the server as vanilla as possible but that was definitely a huge huge mistake some players have traveled so far our server host could literally not hold any more storage despite telling us that we had unlimited storage

Which is insane but unfortunately we had to disabled another roof now without another roof it was now much much harder to travel to bases and advance to different locations as travel became very difficult players knew they had to build highway systems to move around at the start the nether hub was small and

Insignificant since you could travel on the nether roof there really wasn’t much of a reason to spend so much time making one once another roof was disabled players instantly began expanding the nether hub which allowed easy access around the spawn region and then lined it with obsidian and other highways

Became longer and longer as players worked together to build them they provided a reliable and easy method of transportation for the player base to use as having a flat path lod players to afk and not have to travel directly through the nether which risk falling into a lava pocket or getting blasted

Off by a ghast The spawn melon ring the melon ring is a massive circle surrounding spawn that has a radius of over 1 000 blocks which was constructed by john carr 66. johncar66 wanted to help new players and you food was a good way to help so making a farm would be good john carr

Wanted to make a melon farm because it didn’t need to be replanted allowing it to last longer she needed to place it somewhere but couldn’t place it at the center of the world because it would way too easily be griefed she was thinking of putting it a thousand blocks out but

Didn’t know what direction to put it in so instead she chose all directions this melon ring consists of farmland dirt and obsidian put together like a sandwich with melons and planted over it the melon ring was made entirely by hand no hacks no nothing and she used an online pixel

Circle generator as reference and she even carved through the terrain for the ring road it is truly incredible all of this was done so close to spawn without dying once a feat of this magnitude is absolutely insane as not only would it be impressive on normal survival with

Dupes and also autobuild hacks where you could respawn but on a hardcore minecrafter without any publicly known dupes or automatic building hacks But before we move on i want to thank sparktoast for sponsoring this video there are seemingly endless server host options out there so finding an affordable and quality server host is confusing but you should definitely take a look at spark toast they have minecraft server hosting starting from

It you can check it out by going to sparktoast.com thank you spark toast and now on with the video the journey to the world border around launch day a player known as zoki04 wanted to reach the world border and had a few options to do so every block of

The nether is eight blocks in the overworld so it’s much faster in the nether as instead of having to travel 30 million blocks in the overworld you can travel just 3.75 million in the nether which although still a lot is a far more reasonable amount but there’s just too

Much stuff in the way of the nether for that to work especially so far but above the nether is a roof which is perfectly flat that can easily be entered with just a ladder and some ender pearls you move around 4.3 blocks a second when walking which will take 10 days in total

But is just too slow sprint jumping is much faster at 7.1 and only takes 6 days but takes up too much food but horses can travel about 9 blocks a second on average with some horses going up to 14 blocks a second taking just three days to travel just note that all these

Numbers are if the conditions are perfect and will likely take longer so an ambitious zookey 04 took it upon himself to travel to the world border he grabbed a horse and near launch he headed to the nether roof and then turned on an auto walk hack to reach the

World border automatically and as the days went by he finally reached a milestone and recorded it [Applause] this is it Holy sh how long has this taken you the entire like bro entire week oh just non-stop afk Has it just been like afk since it started basically damn this is it it’s happening There it is oh my god To this day he is the only player who has touched the world border and that’s because we realized how much storage that journey took which was over 200 gigabytes we kept it enabled because our server host told us that we had unlimited storage yet zoki broke their physical capabilities god speed to you

Dude but whatever the case was we had to disable the nether roof so the server didn’t die from a lack of storage the end the end originally was a mining zone for players to use it was plastered in giant holes and was used to mine vast amounts

Of resources like obsidian which is much easier to access at spawn and an enderman farm about 200 blocks away from the nspawn was also built to provide players with ender pearls in general the end was a dangerous place because of the hardcore nature and the amount of

Players lurking near it but soon enough players wanted to make something cool so at the center of spawn an arena was built out of obsidian crying obsidian and end stone bricks which laid down right below the ender portal unfortunately building a piece of infrastructure on a server without rules

That was so easy to grief was hard so they took a page from 2b2t and set out to build a massive water keep above it to stop lava casts to build a water cube you need to start off by building large walls to contain the water and then

Place ice over that water and then break it place dirt at the bottom of the water tank and then plant kelp once the kelp is planted wait for it to grow to the top or manually place it kelp turns flowing water blocks into source blocks

Get rid of the kelp then break the walls and the kelp and you have a completely solid water cube they started off by building a mini water cube but decided to make it bigger and outlined it and then filled that bigger outline with water growing it with kelp once they

Were done they destroyed the sand and placed sponges on the edges to make it more square they finally rebuilt the spawn arena underneath it and built a network of tunnels to make travel easy too this giant water cube engulfed spawn and took the work of many many players

It was also a use of the fishing spot because why not the duke glitch okay there weren’t technically any dupes however phosphorite accidentally duped the dragon egg okay let me explain so we created our own custom-made deathban plugin which when you died they would immediately get banned and then drop

Your inventory but there was a major problem you kept the items in your inventory when you got banned that meant that even though you dropped your inventory it was still technically in the inventory of your player data although we did find this bug in testing we really didn’t think it mattered

Because the plan was to clear everyone’s inventory if we ever did a mass unban wave so we kind of forgot about it but it came to bite us in the back later on fosterite fell victim to a server glitch which made the server think that he died from fall damage after analyzing the

Logs we discovered it was a glitch and unbanned him since it wouldn’t be too fair to ban a player who actually didn’t die he happened to be with his friend too who picked up his stuff to stop it from despawning you get where this is going when he respawned he had the

Dragon egg in his inventory and his friend had it too they duped the dragon egg by accident and now there are two dragon eggs in existence uh whoops as in use of this deep spread two players decided to try it out themselves they purposely ran into unloaded chunks which

Was known to kill you as a glitch yeah they were successful we didn’t actually know about it until recently when we asked some of the players for screenshots and whatnot so yeah although there weren’t any actual efficient dupes that could be used this was still technically a dupe ps don’t try this we

Fixed it Bass griefs on anarchy servers there is no objective but many players choose to build bases these bases need to be built far out from spawn to avoid them from getting found out though and on a hardcore minecraft server where every resource matters for survival a base grief can be quite devastating unlike

Any anarchy server many bases have been griefed if you remember phosphorite from earlier he made the mistake of letting in a traitor to his base who silently leaked his coordinates on an alt these coordinates were then visited by some players who went ahead and griefed his base Here are a few more public griefs this space was owned by practical evie tormor and xenonaut Here was a little shack that was griefed this was apparently a recruitment base from a group called sumnoa There was also this strange ring-like base that was grief too here are some screenshots of the grief There are most likely many many more but these are just the ones that have been publicly shared as i did not want to leave private affairs between players the goal of this experiment was to see who could prevail on a server where death is not an option and wanted to see

Who could truly break through the herd so we have listed 8 different players who are each incredibly skilled in their own right out of the 14 000 players who joined the server and the many who got banned and died these are the top players tyrovx and tyrion who both

Gather nearly a stack of enchanted golden apples these are incredibly rare and cannot be crafted on the server’s version either gridlog who helped with another spawn and the highway system hotel pool water and underscore nightcat underscore the ruthless monsters who killed and banned over 100 different players each johncar66 an architect who

Helped build public infrastructure like the spawn cafe the melon ring road and the end water cube phosphorite the obtainer of the dragon egg who duped it along with being the first one to obtain the nether star two overkill who built the globally used enderman farm and was

The first one to get the best most stacked gear and last but not least zoki04 who reached the world border there has been so many players banned from this server i literally needed to use compressed air to scroll up the entire list because it is just so darn large a total of 7

500 players have died which is absolutely ridiculous that is basically the conclusion of this experiment six months of no rules and no extra lives or many have died but only a few have prevailed however the experiment won’t be ending if you have played on the server before and you have been banned

You now have a second chance we will be doing the highly anticipated unban wave which means if you’ve died on the server before you’ll get unbanned and you will now be unbanned after 30 days from death although it won’t be truly hardcore anymore that doesn’t mean the server

Won’t be difficult and if you’re wondering how long the server will last well basically we have a 75 donation call and as long as we reach that every month the server will stay up and to assure that the server will run smoothly with all the people who will watch this

Video and join we will be moving from our old host with sparto’s dedicated servers to assure the server runs smoothly and yeah although spark tools will be covering hosting costs we have this goal to make sure everyone is still interested in the server and 100 of it

Will go to the developers once we don’t reach the 75 monthly goal i’ll either pass it on to the developers to carry on the server themselves until it finally dies or i’ll shut down the server and publicly release the world download or maybe make a video touring the private

Basis on this server i’m not quite sure yet though whatever the case is here are the statistics [Applause] unfortunately that was all i could reasonably cover on youtube there are so many more amazing things on this server that i just couldn’t cover either for not being youtube friendly map art being private projects i didn’t want leaked and such but whatever is left is up to you to discover join the

Server at horizonanarchy.net and climb to the top good luck i have a twitch that i plan on streaming on check that out oh and if you guys want to cancel me go check me out on twitter and yes we managed to get a discord server but no talking about

Duping or whatever since that isn’t ula compliant also i do want to apologize for my lack of uploads this had to be one of the most painful videos i’ve ever made in fact i had to remake it twice because i just wasn’t satisfied with it the video was absolutely horrible i

Couldn’t even watch it myself so i bought premiere pro and decided to remake the video but make it much better this time so i hope you guys enjoyed i even got a microphone this time around i don’t know if you guys want it in the

Future or not so let me know in the comment section anyways if i managed to entertain you for 22 minutes i think a five second subscription would be kind of cool oh and don’t forget to check out spark toast or some of my other videos see ya
