# 2B2T 2B2T, short for 2builders2tools, is a Minecraft anarchy server launched in December 2010 with no rules, no staff, and a single map that never reset. The server built a reputation for lava casts, griefing, and rival player factions before going viral in 2016 when YouTuber TheCampingRusher flooded it with thousands of new players. ## Overview 2builders2tools, universally shortened to 2B2T, is a Minecraft multiplayer server that runs with no rules and no moderation beyond basic anti-cheat[1]. It is the oldest of the game's "anarchy servers," a category built around aggression, betrayal, and permadeath-level survival[1]. The current map has been running for over a decade without a wipe, giving the world layered griefing, war ruins, and hidden bases spread across millions of blocks[2]. Spawn is a gray wasteland of stone blocks studded with towering monoliths of stone and burning lava, most of them left behind by players pouring lava down staircases and quenching it with water in a technique called "lava casting"[2]. New arrivals are usually killed on sight or told to kill themselves in chat, and standard veteran advice is to bury supplies, arm heavily, and expect to die many times over[2]. The server has hosted more than 205,000 unique players and was originally run out of Stockholm before moving to New York[4]. ## How It Spread 2B2T's biggest inflection point came on June 1, 2016, when YouTuber TheCampingRusher uploaded a video about the server that eventually racked up more than three million views[3]. His fans, quickly nicknamed "Rushers," tried to log in by the thousands, and the admin was forced to build a queue system to keep the population from crashing the game[1]. Fellow regular FitMC began posting videos in June 2016 covering the Rusher invasion, and on April 3, 2018, YouTuber AntVenom uploaded his own 2B2T video that drew another wave of newcomers; FitMC killed AntVenom on a livestream the next day and built a channel around dramatized retellings of server history that by 2019 were regularly picked up by the YouTube algorithm[4]. The post-2016 era also solidified the server's faction lore, including the older Facepunch Republic and the mass-membership Team Rusher, along with groups like the Vortex Coalition, the Spawn Masons, and Emperium that grew out of the veteran side of the community[1]. Long-running griefers like popbob, whose trollface-in-a-suit skin is one of the more recognizable images tied to the server, also became meme subjects in their own right within the wider Minecraft YouTube scene[2]. ## How to Use 2B2T is not a template you edit; playing it means downloading Minecraft, connecting to 2b2t.org, and trying to survive a spawn area filled with lava casts, chest traps, and hostile veterans[2]. The common convention is to grief near spawn for content, then walk or fly thousands of blocks in one direction to build a hidden base that any documented base video will eventually get raided[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is 2B2T? 2B2T, short for 2builders2tools, is a Minecraft multiplayer server that runs with no rules or moderator oversight, best known as the oldest anarchy server in the game[1]. ### Where did 2B2T come from?
