Video Corrections: - Most members of the Spawn Masons actually had coordinates to base rather than just the "higher ranking" members. - carpo0 is actually supposed to be spelled "karpo0"

Ah, so the base's weakness was that it has more than one member and therefore vulnerable to drama.

There's nothing stopping them (and others) to just do it again. After all, the tech wasn't the reason why it failed.

At this point, I won't be suprised if someone found a hidden 2b2t base that is only a block in width and length.

The determination of the one guy to spend 30 hours just to remove a base by himself is insane

Ngl this would be a great lesson in terms of security. One can easily overengineer a component in the system, but in practice, the weakest part that gets overlooked is usually the point of entry leading to a full compromise.

Trying to build a base on 2B2T is like trying to set up a house of cards in the eye of a storm. It’s pretty much guaranteed it’ll get destroyed at some point.

Man, at that point they were better off making a private server 😂

My base is about a million blocks away from spawn(About 300,000 from the nearest highway). It amazing the amount of people who have come and left signs and yet the only griefing that has taken place is my beacons were stolen, not a huge deal. I think the whole part is mine is a solo base of just a sea city with a light house and a few buildings, nothing truly amazing compared to other builders.

That base was something to see in person.

They need to have bot choose the initial base coordinates and then make every builder build through proxies. That way literally no one would know the coords.

this base is the embodiment of what my computer science teacher once told me about security: "the weakest link in any security system is the human user". The spawn masons really did go as far technologically to conceal the coordinates of their base as possible, developing a proxy server with a whitelist and patching just about any coordinate exploit. But what they couldn't patch up was common rookie mistakes made when hiding a base on 2b2t - leaving chunk trails behind (they made this mistake twice lol), disclosing base coordinates to untrustworthy players and of course... building a humungous base close enough to spawn such that the odds of it being found simply by accident were too high.

The fact that Storm joined in on the griefing is pretty insane

I know it's just a game, and it's on 2b2t so it was inevitable, but there's always something heart wrenching seeing people's bases get destroyed, especially ones of this scale.

You know things are legendary when Storm Surge comes back

Im 50% certain that there is a base somewhere thats like 10 years old and nobody has found it yet.

fitmc talked about it in his video on skymasons, but the stashes the masons used were made by Lesurv, lead dev of baritone and the main contributor of nocom. The stashes owned by the masons were full of randomized shulkers and arranged in a special pattern to enable players to walk through the stashes a website recorded the contents and locations of items within the stashes. that, coupled with a unique fork of baritone enabled bots to retrieve items from those stashes, while greifers would struggle due to the randomness of the items the baritone bots also double as sentries, and were connected to discords to ping spawnmason members in case an unknown account ever came in range of the stash the masons held hundreds of thousands of items in stashes like these, most of them obtained using nocom coordinates in theory, those stashes could be used to rebuild elsewhere

My guess is the base was already being abandoned. They have moved onto a new base much further from spawn with much more attention to detail and keeping the base safe. That's why the base was left undefended despite it taking 30 hours to grief.

People on 2b2t who make bases like this have balls of steel. Hundreds of hours go into these bases, and they are built in a server where everybody wants to just destroy.

I would love to know the reason the insider leaked the base coords, my mind goes to the worst places for what those members could have done for the insider to make that decision

I love all these 2b2t videos, i find it absolutely fascinating that something so anarchic exists. But one question I've had for a while: if the stuff was griefed info oblivion or something doesn't exist anymore, where do you get such great footage of these builds for your video?

the fact that there are dedicated "griefing groups" giving themselves names and all, makes me question humanity all over again

the base was built so close to spawn because spawn masons

so many complex systems for defense, but in the end it was simple mistakes that doomed them.

Seriously a spectacular build. I have to commend the griefing teams too. It's interesting how they took serious measures to prevent leakage inside but forgot or neglected arbitrary ways random players could find it and not make sure every member understood risks. Either way, amazing dedication.

I would really like to see someone try something like this again, that is further from spawn and with no chunk trails. Wonder how long it could survive...

This reminds me of a lesson in cybersecurity I once had where the lecturer explained that no matter how secure and impenetrable your defences are, the weakest link will always be the humans that are in charge of those defences.

Best way to protect your base: Play alone and don't trust anyone. Although it becomes almost like singleplayer then. I did something like this a while ago on 2B2T, travelled over a million blocks away from spawn and set up a base. After almost a year, my base still hasn't been found by anyone.

your security is only as strong as its weakest link,which most of the case is human

It took me a min to realise what ”unfindale” meant lol

I know this guy is friends with FitMC but Sal's videos are so much better in every way. There's just some sort of touch that Sal puts in these that make them great. Wish he'd upload more but that would probably conflict with his process.

It's really insane build it's like finding the needle in haystack

Back at it again with 2b content man

it's insane that those such interesting and exiting stories exit due to a block game. no other game have those as far as I know.. good video as usual!

The dedication they have to both griefing and preventing bases from getting griefed...

ngl this is the first video of salc1 ive ever watched and when the vid started i was expecting to hear fit lmao still a great vid

i think if you have a proxy like this, its not too hard to modify it to work with multiple accounts on 2b, so everything you build is built on multiple locations at the same time

THE KING HAS RETURNED

I’m a total noob of Minecraft to the point where at the 7 minute mark I realized the avatar you were using was actually you instead of B-roll 🤦‍♂️ I love this video. For the first time in all the years since Minecraft has been out, you gave me an understanding that it’s a bunch of people coming together on one infinite map. Sounds so cool, I think I’ll check Minecraft out now :) btw a lot of terms, made no sense to me. Like b2bt, hopefully I can look back at this video when I’m more experienced and appreciate it a lot more when I know better

god I love 2b2t base vids. They're like true crime stories mixed with dark web mysteries

Awesome base to be a guest of, wish I got to build more there.

Storm Surge joining in on the grief is akin to David Brent's cameo on The Office USA.

Always letting anything aside when you download something. So thanks!

Finally a video. I can finally get updated again

I don't understand griefers

i still sometimes get blown away by what people build on 2b2t its just so incredible damn

Always love when you use GW2 soundtrack, one of my favorite games. :)

The engineers who set up the proxy thought of everything. I'm amazed. Great work programming it as well.

It's crazy to think that somewhere out there in 2b2t there is just a massive base that will never be found because those people just built like 3mil blocks from spawn and covered their tracks and just don't tell anyone about it.

That's insane, i never thought they would find the unfindale base

My jaw dropped when you said that Storm Surge was brought on to grief it. I can't believe AVO's still around doin' their same ol' schtick

Love your Videos salc1 it is like a movie

The part where you said AVO was at the grief hit me like a truck, what year is it

"OMG I just blew up this guys work I’m so cool"

Really liking the attac on tarir theme from gw2 at 7:20

well this shows you that no matter how many new revolutionising ideas you come up with, you still have to follow the well-known tips aswell.

dude i don't even play on 2b2t and even my base is more than a million blocks out lmfao, can't believe how close theirs was to spawn great video :)

STORM SURGE????? Please, please let there be a Team Avolition upload. A Team Avolition video delivering griefing-style justice would be so nostalgic

I got a few questions SalC1 : - Who is the most feared player and most known player - What is the most feared team and most known team

Hearing the name "Storm Surge" involved with Minecraft Griefing was a blast from the past.

How Griefers on 2b2t feel like "Im gonna rip you apart." finding out it was a friends base "I want to apologize."

I wonder if it would be possible to essentially have a single player control two proxy accounts from the proxy server at the same time That way they'd be building the same base in two different locations on 2b2t

My base is pretty easy to find. I built it w a group of people a while back when the book chunk dupe was active. My tag is Cesium21. i've seen you at spawn before sal, well, a long while ago. Hope all is well for everyone on that endless highway. Thanks for the content!

Honestly the tech behind this was, as you said, pure genius. And it almost worked, only reason it didn't was cus of messy handling and foul play. So really, as far as we know the system's still full proof! Well, nothing's full proof, and griefers always find a but. But still, randomizing and changing everything down to bedrock patterns and block rotations is awesome. They clearly thought through everything they could. Are clouds disabled too? In all of the pre-leak footage I saw there were no clouds, and they can be used to reverse engineer coordinates sometimes too.

Anybody who's traveled beyond the million meter mark knows precisely why sky was built where it was. Traveling to and from any base in the millions is an absolute hassle...

Despite all means of jamming a person's instruments in preventing it to be found, they still couldn't jam the most important part, the human eyes, which well is funny, to say the least, and the classic betrayal in 2b2t.

you make the most entertaining videos from 2b2t!

Me having two tests tomorrow:yea what a good way to spend my time.

It literally gave me a knot in my stomach to hear that some guy took 30 hours of his life to grief a Minecraft base. It made me feel sad for him. The world shines a little less knowing there are people who think like that. What a sad life they must lead

The biggest known base for now , i wonder what else is out there...

it was very cool to see a hammerhead class cruiser built in one of the shots of the base, I don't follow 2b2t stuff, but I like the thought that there are more kotor builds on the server

I can imagine if the base never existed on the server

The reason it was nuked was bc the spawnmasons harbored a groomer 😮 you don’t gotta cover that up

Kinda shows that Hermetilock's plan to finally end the Spawn Masons unfortunately failed. He was the original founder with his buddy D_Loaded but just got so sick of all the Minecraft fanatics that had flooded the Masons that he wanted to end them for good by destroying their last known base, Donfeur 18. The Masons' ideologies of Minecraft haven't changed it would seem, using a proxy to fully disguise their base as somewhere else, sheesh, in the words of FitMc, "It's just a block game!".

this is so confusing. but so sick!

2b2t is the community that will make anything impossible, possible

I'm glad there's someone making these kind of 2b2t videos without saying "the oldest anarchy server in minecraft" every 2 minutes. Great video

no way a salc1 upload :D

finally some epicness after sevreal months!

I'm honestly more interested in what the irl influence was that cause someone to turn like that

So, one of the SpawnMason members engaged in something illegal which is why the cords might've been leaked...I'm hoping it's something like IP or Account Theft and other stuff limited to Minecraft and not something really fucked up like grooming minors.

Absolutely love use of Hollow Knight ost. Recognized it immediately

Thanks for mKinf these longer videos

Dude I swear these 2b2t players can make a program powerful enough to pose as an international security risk and then use that program to "haha exploit child block game"

This proxy tech could be useful for so many bases.

1:22 engineer gaming

Loved that Hollow Knight music at the beginning! Makes me want to go back and finish it

It would be mind boggling if the REAL skymason base was millions of blocks away from spawn, and the base that was found was just a decoy

the whiplash from the mention of “storm_surge” goddamn

ur channel never dies

Dude! This orsond guy randomly joined an smp i was hosting, guy was actually like really chill

Honestly confused on how the Proxy server thing works.

i still don’t understand how griefing is fun to people

Holy Moly, seeing Storm Surge's name crop up in the modern era is a throwback.

bro these videos are so fire

Imagine how the members must've felt logging on and seeing their base gone

what was that rl drama that led to the leaking of the base?

6:04 That's the Tomb of Raithwall music from Final Fantasy 12, very nice choice!

I watched Storm Surges video on this earlier and it was wonderful

Just learned why the griefing happened and why it was leaked, absolutely deserved
