Spoiler: it's not Minecraft. It's a blocky 3D voxelworld where you float around and can add and remove blocks. Not that this isn't an achievement, but don't call it Minecraft.

    To get started, you’ll need to be willing to install and learn a hacked client (it’s very difficult to play on 2b2t without), pay $20 / month per account for priority queue and deal with hostile players. I think the server performance is improved since I tried years ago, but still expect slow render distances and sometimes bad lag.

    The server’s history is really cool, and while some of it remains in physical form, most of it is destroyed. Plus most of it is hundreds of thousands of blocks away— in fact, you have to walk a ridiculously long ways to even find a tree. Imo it’s better to watch videos about it than to play.

    There’s some real geniuses on there tho! Megabases have insane builds. And something like 30% of players online are bots, and the developers of the bots are players. They push the limits of exploits, glitches and hacks. So that’s cool at least!

    Server is relatively easy, but to get to zero telemetry on the client, you're going to have a lot of overlap with things you'd go sailing for. What's your feelings on the microsoft account requirements? If that's a dealbreaker, a legitimate client likely won't get you there.

    I personally use crafty controller in a docker container on my NAS and it’s been relatively solid. There’s a bit of learning up front, but it works well once you understand it.
