Your videos were among the first I watched that got me interested in playing Minecraft. I've never even attempted 2b2t, but it's one of the most fascinating phenomena in gaming I've ever come across. Always excited to see the next installment of madness when your videos come out!

It's official: 2b2t is now officially harder to connect to than play.

A true anarchy server can neither be too easy nor too hard, it's ultimately up to the players to decide how much effort they're willing to put into making it easier or more difficult. 2b2t has existed for so long that it's beginning to resemble what would happen in the real world, where the people form their own groups and build large infrastructures

I remember first hearing about & joining 2b2t about a month after the explosion of popularity brought on by TheCampingRusher in 2016. all I had was an xray mod; no hacked clients or anything else. for about a half hour I was constantly killed at spawn by patrols and the environment, but eventually I was able to slip by on a 1x2 nether highway, found a single wood log and a crafting table, crafted bowls, and mined about 100 netherrack by hand to get mushrooms to make food while on 3 hunger points and escape further. one of the more memorable experiences I had playing minecraft as a whole, even if I've long stopped playing 2b2t by now.

The biggest challenge on 2B2T is waiting in queue for 5-7 hours.

Is nobody going to talk about the fact that Fit himself is the biggest cause of the massive player growth lmao

FitMC: "You whippersnappers don't know how easy you have it! Back in my day! Uphill both ways! In the snow! Except they removed the snow and replaced it with withers! And that was just to find one piece of wheat!"

It has become so easy that even I can escape spawn and I can barely see. No withers, every player I saw left me alone, and I just walked a highway to get out. I was on for hours without finding a single person.

I escaped spawn and got to 40,000 in the overworld before dying to a random wither. My bed didn’t work either.

I first logged in 1 year ago. I've always been playing vanilla, and i escaped spawn without any difficulty, with only one death to a PvP-er. Now i'm in the millions, with multiple shulkers and totem, still in vanilla. This server has been easy for a long time now

I love the history of this server. One a realm of pure chaos but eventually a order rise up unintentionally

That's funny, what you're saying about the server attracting "good apples". I haven't joined the server yet myself, but I've always thought that when I do, I would play as a good guy helping others. Because I think it's poetic that even in this deadly wasteland, kindness can still flourish. They say that chaotic situations and anarchy reveal the worst of humanity, but it can also reveal the best of us. It shows that people are meant to come together in the end and help each other, that's our true nature.

I mean the easier difficulty is great for new players, however for the old players it’s probably not as fun for them anymore knowing the only good thing is no longer easy to do.

you just KNOW that people are gonna start making it WAY harder to escape spawn after this vid went live

I think part of why it's been getting easier is the fact that the server is way better known now, which causes the knowledge of how to easily escape spawn to be way more widespread. That, combined with all the other factors just makes it trivial. But it's not even a recent development. I haven't played since like 2019 but even then escaping spawn was already trivial.

Imagine if far far in the future 2b2t is “civilized” by the players.

I love how the production quality and the video style has gotten better over time and the content is still top notch and much more distinct than other channels!

2B2T is exactly where it is supposed to be. It is the result of It’s own evolution. Leave it as is, changes will sometimes be nice, some not. All depends on who you ask, but the server should be left to It’s own devices as it always has been. Dont change it, it is a piece of gaming history, that is still being written.

I mean, it makes sense House increases the spawn radious. It's the less intrusive way to bypass them. As to why they want new players to survive? Well, he wants money from the priority queue, and if no new players can join at all because escaping spawn is super hard, the server will eventually slowly die. This happens with all communities, if there's no new people entering, they will dissappear.

For the most part, anarchy isn't teally my style of play -- I'm the type of player wh will be in the middle of building something and then space out and wander away from my computer, returning to find a creeper had blown me up! XD However, after watching videos like yours and learning about how much 2b2t has its own culture and history, I'm tempted to try it out! I've never actually used a hacked client either, so that could be fun to tinker around with~

It would be really funny if everyone decided to see how large of a spawn radius they could get house master to add

The few times I've played 2b, yes, it was relatively easy to navigate through spawn's stone jungle. But it still has its (literal) pitfalls, such as when I stuck underneath bedrock and didn't have chorus fruit to escape and I barley lost any hunger to be able to die fast enough before being kicked back into queue (this took me 3 tries + sitting in queue for 12 hours on each attempt.) Otherwise, It is rather easy to get around save for a few random Withers.

I think destructive behavior is just a temporary development stage in people. Maybe this is the biggest reason behind this

I definitely want to see how the culture will change once the server updates. I see this as more of the calm before the storm because once it updates it definitely bring some of the fire back into older players and new players to kill.

Thanks for helping me get back into the game, it’s been a great escape for me lately, and if I hadn’t have gotten sucked into your 2b2t lore videos I may have forgotten about how much I do enjoy it, anyway, have a good day bro!

I love to imagine a sci-fi story/movie based on 2b2t. The main character wakes up in an unknown and hostile environment, remembers only their name, and driven out of spawn by hunger, meeting the natives who seem as demi-gods to the main character.

a couple days ago i decided to see 2b2t for myself after watching a stupid amount of videos about it on this channel. i waited in the queue for at least 6 hours, finally entered it when it was 2am and spent some time on the server. to me it resembled a visit to some ancient place more than survival on an anarchy server. the hardest part was that there's literally no wood or food anywhere near spawn so i had to walk for a long time before i found a couple chickens and a cow, and i found some planks in the nether. i died 3 times: first time i was shot by a skeleton, then i fell into some hole that went down to bedrock level, and then i walked in lava in the nether because i didn't feel like getting to the portal. overall, my first experience on 2b2t was quite peaceful, i liked it in there

Have you ever heard of the tragedy of the base around 137k south south west that got "liberated" by a giant slime bomber modeled after a b52?

I get Hause wanting to expand if needed, but no mention of trimming the spawn radius as survival rates go up. Pick a desired survival %, and grow or shrink as needed off that (with some minimum cap, probably of 100 blocks)

Always a good day when fitmc uploads

I think it has definitely gotten easier because I first started watching you a few months ago and was very interested in the server, so I joined with no hacked client and was still able to escape spawn first try without dying once or losing sprint. Anyway, love your content!!!

the roundtable hold track is incredible for this kind of video

Now the biggest barrier to entry is the queue

I think another reason that the server is now more easier than before is the dupes, I've seen multiple shulkers just laying around and using the items in the shulkers I can easily just escape spawn.

The 10k by 10k obby sky is such a monumental structure on 2b2t, I can’t wait for you to make a video about it!

My man is back at it again. I come back to this channel every few months and I don't ever regret it. Keep up the good work and hope everyone has a great day

Played back in 2015 and i have a dilemma. Back then the small area of spawn was way harder, but spawn was way smaller so you could walk out quickly

The draw of 2B2T is still the 11-year-old map, ruins, and history.

hause reducing spawn range would be enough to start a really big community event , would suggest him to do so periodicaly in times of low player activity

Awesome to see one of your bases survive, that base will get destroyed but it reminds me of the simpler days of Minecraft despite the fact that it was created in one of the most complex places on Minecraft back then, and today. Pretty cool stuff! Also props to the visitors for not destroying anything, they're real ones.

I feel like these new changes might actually let me play 2b2t now, so i gotta thank hause and the friendly players for this.

I dont even go on 2b2t, hell, I dont even have minecraft, but there's something about fit that just keeps me entertained till the end of a video.

I love fit mc so much, hes such a good dude no cap slime on god

this all feels llike great news, good to see the playerbase is growing up

Can't we just appreciate the effort of that The Oldest Anarchy Server in Minecraft?

It went from a crazy wasteland that you likely wouldn’t survive and it’s transforming into a society, on another note, there’s probably soon or already is a city with players doing something hidden

Loved the video @FitMC! Can't wait for the next video man! I think 2b2t might be at the Right Difficulty for New and Old Server Members to have Some fun. I'll admit, I haven't played on the Server at all, let alone Minecraft itself, but from what I've seen on the Channel, Things seemed to have smoothed themselves out and I've been watching the Channel for about a year now LMAO!

i always liked those spawn build projects made to make spawn more difficult but always thought it was a shame that they basically boiled down to making it impossible to escape rather than just making it harder. i think it has to do with how complex it would be to actually make it more difficult without just making it more impossible. a giant cube of water or a wall of lava is just insurmountable though i bet a giant 3d obsidian maze would work.

I still think that inventory management is a big part of escaping spawn. Knowing what to have and how much of it definitely can be hard. And making even one mistake can make it harder to manage. But even that is so much easier than it used to be. Disclaimer, I am a vey new player. Even so, I was lucky in finding a base with trees and an e-chest very close to spawn, which allowed me to get wood + saplings and decongest my inventory. I also found an ungriefed base with farms and a double chest mostly full of fishing rods, which allowed me to get seeds and stacks of fish. And judging by Fit's video, encounters like this are more and more common.

"Is Minecraft 2b2t too easy?" Me who's never defeated the Ender Dragon once in genuine survival mode: I don't think so...

As someone who had begun playing pretty much since the server basically opened. I had a friend in 5th/6th grade? who had joined 2B2T the day it opened. I joined several weeks later when I got Minecraft for PC sometime after he had joined. he later stopped playing somewhere around when the World Border was reached in March of 2017, whereas I have continued. The empires I've seen rise and fall, enemies become friends, friends become enemies, the stories, the bases, the battles, the wars, the builds and so much more *_will all stay with me forever._* This server is beautiful, it may not look like it in your eyes, but it truly is. 2B2T still has years left on her, and I shall stay till the day she shuts down.

Is that Elden ring music in parts of the video? Love your content. 🙂

I wonder if there was one piece of obsidian that has been duped more then any other like a father of all obsidian on the server now

Last time I was able to get on, I spawned within the lava cube and had to find a path through it. I ended up getting killed by someone, but when I respawned, I spawned on top of the ceiling. It was just then finding a way down.

Great to hear people are becoming more helpful.

i've been playing minecraft for almost 9 years now and one day i decided to quit. Nothing much happened until i saw one of your videos i immediately got hooked again so i thank you for that this happened like 2 years ago

You can argue that it is very hard to escape. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.

I have always been a spawn killer on 2b2t, but I have not noticed this lately. I will keep an eye on it. Happy hunting!

you uploaded this just on time for me to accidentally close my laptop at position 37 in queue and have to wait for 350 players right after i left anti afk on and died of hunger before i set my bed at my base

lmao i really don't care about 2b but the way you describe thing and your voice makes it sound so interesting so i keep coming back XD

I recently tried Constantiam. Took me 5 hours to escape due to the withers and piglins. Not one player showed up. My first time on 2b2t, I walked out of spawn, no problem. I was very surprised at both experiences.

I feel like this is beginning of the end for this server. If they could have a more inviting queue, maybe it would breath new life into the server

Hearing the Roundtable Hold music its just ah man just such a good game

I finally started. Wish I had sooner. I managed to "escape" a few times. I got killed on the neather highway on one run. But honestly the real trick for me rn would be to get a bed so I don't go back to spawn if I die. Then I'll feel like I really escaped.

This server makes a great case study as to how most anarchistic enviornments develop a more net-positive culture around interactions due to the original culture being diluted so quickly. Often, you'll see these kinds of enviornments develop incredibly niche and small communities and cultures that strongly oppose any sort of counter culture against it, such is the case of 4chan and others like it. I feel like this occures due to the hive mind and pride of "owning" something so personal and integral to a specific medium like its culture; The idea that you can control something so important like that means alot to people in these sorts of communities and its usually why most of them stay niche and underground simply due to the anti-counter-culture that forms as a result. I.E. new members that join have either no choice to assimilate into the already established culture or be forced away from it. This server in particular is interesting because there actually IS a moderative force that was applied to allow newer individuals into the culture (such as making it easier to escape spawn and become more established). Furthermore, with the past and current spikes in new players, the anti-counter-culture just simply hasnt been able to keep up because that sort of thing only works well with isolated individuals or small groups. Since the new established playerbase is so much larger in comparison to the older playerbase, alot of the culture within the server changes as a result. And since most of the new playerbase is alot newer and doesnt carry the same sort of grudge against new players as say some of the older players might, the whole culture shifts to something that is more friendly and generally less toxic than the original enviornment. I find it so interesting how the servers admin inadvertently allowed this to happen by essentially hard limiting the effectiveness of anti-counter-culture (new players)

I like the thumbnail. I think I know where you got that cookie 🤔

Hell yeah 2b2t upload from fitmc, boutta have a great day.

I love how you can make a game sound like a add for a crazy movie

The deferent to joining is no longer the spawn killing or trapping new players it’s that it takes literal hours to join

*People have bullied People so hard, that other People decided to take pity on these People and helped these People out.*

As a follower and viewer of your content for 3 years now maybe a bit more. I seen all the videos you made that were mentioned in this video about those topics and I didnt think about it then but I do now. I believe balancing spawn lava cases on a large scale..tho i agree with a peace timeline in 2b2t for a war of things. But it's an anarchy server I get that. New players do like to bring peace. I say whatever day it is I'm peaceful/or I want to take your stuff.

This video worked. After you uploaded this I saw a grand total of 2 players instead of the 0 I saw before at spawn.

I feel that because this video was made, certain players will take that as a challenge and grief spawn again...

I don't mind easy, as long as I get on and get through the queue. If anything, the lack of incursions and events might have been influenced by you talking about the Fifth Column, that immortality machine, the AI courier bots and that server-wide replica map mass theft. Folks just want to regroup, gather resources, lay low for a while and then slowly start to make a name for themselves without looking like complete villains. I'm sure wars will start up again next year once everyone feels there's no malware or backdoor admin codes that could ruin the experience.

I don't Play Minecraft but, I really like your videos and all these details about Minecraft 👍

After binging these videos all week I finally took the step and joined 2b2t this week. This was my experience; Attempt 1) 7k blocks in the overworld, went to the nether and came out around 23k blocks in the overworld. Not a single piece of grass to get seeds or a single animal all the way. Ending up starving to death and returning to spawn. On this run I managed to get my wood tools from left over planks in the nether and where I came out had plenty of coal and iron. Attempt 2) Risked going straight to the high way in the nether and bumped into a player. I assumed it meant death. The guy just stopped and threw me 5 gapples. I made about half the distance I did before feeling confident before a grifer flew in and killed me. I can happily report I managed to eat all the apples before death, my little victory. Attempt 3) Spawned on a small set of stone, and had to try to parkour out with no blocks. Server lagged mid jump and I fell to bedrock dying. Attempt 4) Spawned on top of the black sky / its remains. Made good distance, server lagged and fell off to a random hole on the tinniest island going Attempt 5) Someone posted looking for new players "I'm a nice builder". I decided to yolo it and gave the coordinates. Died shortly after. Knew it was coming but couldn't resist when he went "Trust me I'm a good builder" All in all I found it pretty easy to get out, but food was defo the issue. I just want to live the nomad life and explore the overworld xD

They should make a group dedicated to make people's experience on the server like it used to be

I feel that it’s important to welcome new players, but also that the greifing and spawn killing is part of the servers history and appeal

Thanks for the ball Earth CGI! Obviously the surface of standing water bends (in your la la land)!

I made it out way back in the day, shortly after the antvenom invasion. I made a little base in a mountain, and I never returned to the server afterwards.

Lol how far is House willing to extend the radius before he cracks and finds another solution

Not only the oldest but the biggest anarchy server, maybe also that's why spawn radius is now so big.

I think it’s cool that in anarchy a situation where people are starting to help each other out more has formed. Maybe there should be a way to break more obsidian to balance creation and destruction, but at the same time I didn’t see anything in this video i wouldn’t define as anarchy.

Fit love ya bro, but this vid reminds me of a phrase my dad loved to say "when I was a kid, I walked to school uphill both ways"

I like how if you leave something alone with no rules for long enough, people start enforcing their own.

I think it just depends on who you are. For me as a new player, it wasn't technically that easy to escape spawn, having had to try to a couple times over, mostly because of all the wild obstacles to get through (since keep in mind that it's a long way back to spawn that you have to try escaping all over again) and then being forced to survive for as long as you can, which is also difficult with fewer spawning mobs and the server lagging or glitching every once in a while. For an old player now, being more accustomed to... Well, _everything_ 2b2t became, it's probably too easy because it's in the established culture for stuff to be harder and attracts more people wanting that challenge that you would also partake in being part of said challenge to overcome, so now with things being easier, I guess it makes sense. _What challenge then_ does a veteran player also pose now, if everything is not as difficult as it used to be before?

Elden ring music in the background love it man

If we get a live stream tomorrow, let's hope it's an escaping spawn one!

it may be stupid, but i think the server player limit (250 iif i'm right) stop a lots of people to join the server and the queue is far too long (the priority queue is 20 dollars a mouth and it's expensive to young adult player ) i thin with more player playing on the server, it will resove the difficulty problem (but i know it's impossible )

is 2b2t too easy? Me after spending 20 days just to get wheat: Yes.

8:23 Is that freaking Jurassic Park for the SNES? My god, Fit! It took like 10 seconds to register for me, but between the PSO music and some of your other music choices, I think I'm meeting my equal for eclectic game music tastes. Freaking kudos. Start breaking out the Legend of Mana or Illusion of Gaia and I'll swear you're following me.

Hey fit I just joined the surveyor and it was hard but the chat was very nice helping me figure it out

In some ways players can self-select if they want a higher difficulty. If you get a good spawn far from 00 then you can just drown or something, reset and try again with a worse spawn. All difficulty should be self-selected for the sake of accessibility.

This is essentially the end result of the Rusher War. The extreme influx of players during that time forced hause to implement something to earn enough money to keep the server going, and the players that came with Rusher never went away, means the system (the paid queue) never went away. Hause now has to keep a balance that allows enough new players to keep playing, and pay for the server's upkeep, or the community would slowly shrink to the point that the queue would no longer be necessary, but the server would still be full 24/7, which would result in Hause having to pay for stuff with his own money, and that just isn't going to happen. In other words: 2b2t has too many established players. The only way out of this would be to kill the paid queue entirely, and let donations keep the server alive. There's a good chance that this would fail if attempted. Or you, Fit, pay the bill.

Idk, years ago spawn was a cobble/water pit. The main hazard was depleting your hunger from running & jumping. When you finally got out, there was a wasteland of broken blocks, portals and ruins. I can't remember how far I had to walk before I found a food source or even my 1st tree.

I guess they just need a gigantic project, which should cover like 4k distance to make Hausemaster not able to extend it by another 500, but a whole 2k at once. The reason to go that far is when you build something, that perfectly fits it, you just make Hausemaster able to do it with a small number change, but if the number gets too big, it's possible he would refrain from doing that and do something else. I believe, putting 8k by 8k into water is not going to be hard, as there's already a big water cube, the challenge would be to keep going. I already put a spawn region on another server into water back in 2018/19, I didn't make it flow into the protected area, but around it, so players had a hard time to farm wood or get away from spawn. My priority back then was to flood, but if I were to do this on 2b2t, I would flatten the ground first before doing big floods.

I think you also forgot that Mojang reduced the amount of hunger consumed a few updates ago. Hunger used to go down way faster which naturally made things more difficult.

Obviously it's an anarchy server, anything goes. But at the same time, it's also important for new people to be able to actually play. People will eventually stop playing for good, and if escaping spawn was made impossible for new players, 2b2t would *eventually* die out, though there's no telling how long that would take.

Nice vid as always

a few months ago when I got my first real minecraft account (i used to be a cracked player) I got onto 2b2t after a whole day in the queue and I tried to escape spawn without a hacked client. I got to about 20k blocks out in the nether after just a few attempts. I also had full iron armor and plenty of food. I actually never got killed by a player, instead most of the food and stuff I had was given to me by a player. I was very surprised that it was so easy to leave spawn even though so many people say its very hard.
