Are cheats allowed on 2b2t?

2b2t (2builders2tools), the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft, is known for its chaos, no rules and the crazy experiences it gives. But if you’re new to 2b2t or just curious about the server, one question probably pops out: Are cheats allowed on 2b2t? Let’s dive into the world of 2b2t, hacks and the server’s stance on cheating.

What is 2b2t?

A Brief History of 2b2t

2b2t is a Minecraft server that has been up since December 2010. Over 10 years of continuous uptime, it’s a legend in the gaming world. The server is famous for having no rules, no resets and a harsh, unforgiving world filled with traps, destroyed landmarks and vast areas of nothingness.

• No moderation: There are no admins to enforce rules.
• No resets: The world never resets, so history is etched into the very blocks.
• Anarchy: Players can do anything they want—grief, steal, and even use cheats.

What Counts as Cheating on 2b2t?

In a traditional Minecraft sense, cheats or hacks usually refer to modifications that give players unfair advantages. This includes things like:

• X-ray mods: For seeing through blocks.
• Kill aura: Automatically attacks nearby players.
• Flight mods: Allows a player to fly without using creative mode.
• Speed hacks: Makes a player move faster than normal.

On most servers, these are considered bannable offenses. However as 2b2t is an anarchy server, which is a server with no rules, this is not the case.

Are Cheats Allowed on 2b2t?

The Unofficial Rule: “Anything Goes”

Yes, cheats are allowed on 2b2t. In fact, cheats are not just tolerated—they're expected. The lack of server rules and moderators means players can run any mod or hack they want. Here’s why:

• No Anticheat: Unlike most servers, 2b2t doesn't have an anticheat plugin actively blocking cheats.
• Equal footing: Everyone on 2b2t can use hacks, which makes the server feel more like an arms race than a casual game of Minecraft.
• Anarchy spirit: Cheating is in line with 2b2t’s “no rules” philosophy.

Common Cheat Clients on 2b2t

Players often use specific hacked clients designed for anarchy servers like 2b2t. These clients offer features that go far beyond what vanilla Minecraft provides. Some popular ones include:

• Impact: One of the most well-known cheat clients for 2b2t.
• Meteor: Another free client with advanced features for PvP and travel such as Elytra Flight.
• Wurst: Another commonly used hacked client, offering many basic hacks.

The Dark Side: Risks of Cheating on 2b2t

Lag and Server Instability

2b2t is known for its lag, sometimes called "queue lag" or "server lag". Many players running cheat clients, especially ones that exploit server mechanics, can cause massive performance drops. Large-scale hacks that abuse the server, like:

• Chunk loading hacks: Force chunks to load rapidly, causing massive lag.
• Auto-dupe exploits: Duplicate items, which results in thousands of unnecessary items being processed.

While 2b2t’s admin, Curtis Bayliss, generally doesn't ban players if there names are not bgp, he has been known to patch or disable particularly harmful hacks to keep the server running smoothly.

Cheating Etiquette: Unspoken Rules of 2b2t

Even on 2b2t, there are certain unspoken rules among players. While cheats are widely used, there’s still a code of conduct that many follow:

• Combat logging: While it’s not enforced, combat logging is frowned upon in 1v1 fights.
• Respect for veterans: Veteran players often frown on newer players using certain exploits, especially ones that cause extreme server lag.
• Griefing builds: Some historical builds are considered “off-limits” by community consensus, though there’s no way to enforce this.
  • The group, "The divine church of Popbob" has claimed their bases are protected from griefing by the Geneva convention as their bases are considered by many to be holy sites and places of worship

Is There Ever a Ban for Cheating on 2b2t?

Technically, bans on 2b2t do exist, but they are extremely rare. Hausemaster has occasionally banned players for exploits that severely harm the server. Most notably:

• Lag machines: Massive redstone contraptions that cripple server performance.
• Illegal items: Players using item dupes or item exploits to obtain things that shouldn't exist, like bedrock blocks.

These actions are seen as a threat to server stability, and Hausemaster has taken action when necessary to preserve the server’s functionality. However, casual hackers using clients like Impact, Future, or Wurst are not typically targeted.

The Case of BGP: The Most Banned Player

When it comes to bans, one name stands out: BGP. BGP is the all-time most banned player in 2b2t history, with a staggering 23 bans across various accounts throughout the years. Known for their relentless activity in the anarchistic realm of 2b2t, BGP has faced bans under usernames like BGP1, BGP2, and others.

Notably, BGP1 was banned several times between 2019 and 2022, only to be unbanned and return each time. BGP2 and other accounts, such as Boatflight and BGP3, followed a similar pattern of getting banned and then rejoining the fray. A significant moment for BGP occurred on March 8, 2021, when multiple accounts faced simultaneous bans.

Despite these setbacks, BGP's determination to navigate the challenges of 2b2t and continue rejoining the chaos speaks volumes about their commitment to the server's wild environment. Their saga is a testament to the anarchy that exists in gaming and the lengths to which players will go to remain connected to their beloved battlegrounds.

Does Everyone Use Cheats?

It may seem like everyone on 2b2t uses cheats—and the truth is, most do. If you’re playing 2b2t without a hacked client, you’re at a severe disadvantage. Here’s why:

• Survival: Spawn is nearly impossible to escape without hacks. The area around 0,0 is a wasteland of lava casts and wither skeletons.
• PVP: 2b2t’s PVP meta is built around hacked clients. Without cheats, you'll be outmatched in seconds as some players have crazy crystal aura modules that will place a hundred crystals around you instantly.

That said, there are a few purist players who pride themselves on playing 2b2t without cheats, but these individuals are the exception, not the rule.
