2b2t
The one thing that makes this server unique is the lack of player regulations, making 2b2t one of the most hardcore survival servers. Unlike other servers, the 2b2t Minecraft server has no game modes, no mods, no plug-ins, and most importantly, there are no rules.Â
From the blasted land on spawn to toxic players, it is nearly impossible to stay alive while you’re at spawn. Plus, if you think getting out of spawn is a challenge, pray that you don’t encounter any other players because hacks are allowed and you will be killed almost immediately bringing you back to spawn.
