About

2builders2tools, or 2b2t for short, is a Minecraft "anarchy" server with virtually no rules, no staff, and no chat filters (with the exception of game breaking anti-cheat for things like flight and super speed). The server is the second oldest running server in Minecraft. The current map has been active since December 2010 without a single reset. The server is hosted in Stockholm, Sweden. The server has gained over 205,000 players and is infamous for its community, which is often associated with users from 4chan and Facepunch.

History

The server started around December of 2010. It was advertised by the original creators on places like 4chan and Facepunch. Early days on the server were known as the "Facepunch Era." The server started to gain a great amount of players as it started to be constantly spammed in 4chan boards such as /v/ and /b/. The influence of those players led to the popularization of terms like "newfag" and "oldfag" as well as the creation of swastikas in the server.

In August of 2013, 2b2t was featured on an IGN video, calling the server one of the 6 most amazing things in Minecraft.On the first day of June of 2016, the server went into chaos after YouTuber TheCampingRusher made a video about 2b2t, gaining over 2.8 million views in two years (shown below).

The video had a heavy impact on the server. Thousands of his fans tried to join to 2b2t, making the original community of 2b2t unable to play, drowning in the thousands he brought with him, and the queue which was added to prevent an overflow of players on the server. This would eventually lead to a conflict between the new and the old players. At first, it began with the Teamveteran Initiative. It was designed to appeal the new players into helping the community at spawn, as the oldfags were slowly losing ground to Rusher’s fans as well as more Minecraft YouTubers who stared invading 2b2t. A YouTuber by the name of FitMC who was a server regular used this opportunity to boost his channel, enjoying 1 Million subscribers as of 2020. The server also became popular among many YouTubers, such as the french YouTuber Fuze IlI and Big Man Tyrone.

In 2019, the term "The Oldest Anarchy Server in Minecraft" became synonymous with 2b2t and helped the server getting featured on several Meme Compilation videos on YouTube. Thanks to the revivla of Minecraft, the server became viral again, and was featured by YouTubers from all over the world, while videos on the server sometimes gained millions of views.





Factions

Factions are groups of players who have common goals on the server. They became a meme among many, as factions don't exist as a game feature on 2b2t and instead were made up by the community. They include:

Armorsmith's Followers – Currently considered to be one of the largest factions on 2b2t dedicated to a user named Armorsmith. Throughout the existence of 2b2t there were plenty of factions out there, but Armorsmith's Followers has been the most notable one since 2017 thanks to it's achievements, such as bringing infamous exploits, reaching the world border at the End and helping newer players to escape Spawn.

Team Rusher – a large faction from 2016 with thousands of members who joined following YouTuber TheCampingRusher's video.

Facepunch Republic – The Facepunch Republic was made of players from the Facepunch forums and was present during the first two years of the server.
