[@MoonlightSymphony]

with world downloads of the builds you could copy them to a server to make a sort of museum or combine them all into a gigantic city by placing fitting bases next to each other, players could then go explore that city and find inspiration for their own builds or simply just enjoy the different styles and architectures. you could also make a museum/library with the screenshots alone.

[@LostSwiftpaw]

theres an archive server where you can teleport to different base world downloads

[@omega1575]

Someone tried to do this, but then people coded a glitch/hack/exploit into the base so when it was copied they had an exploit

And there I was thinking that I was being paranoid, building a base as far out as I did. But it’s not paranoia if they *are* out to get you. It’s beyond the heat map.

[@patrickd9551]

I'm amazed how many bases there actually are in such close proximity to spawn. I would be damn sure to travel to 10+ million first before even considering to build a base. Then fly around many thousands of blocks around to prevent new chunk tracing.

A good use for the bases themselves: gather up a bundle of the most talented builders (based on their builds/bases) and start the next FyreUK. That's what I'd do.

[@carlll_]

Because it’s fun? Building on 2b2t serves as a unique challenge but also has its own feel to it that is separate from what you get on any other server. Of course the base gets griefed eventually but you go into it knowing that. My build group literally has a creative server that has a replica of what’s on 2b. If we wanted to just do creative building I’m sure we could but where’s the fun in leaving something on a hard drive to fall into obscurity.

For the sweet sweet bragging rights of saying that you or a group of players built a one-of-a-kind base in one of the oldest anarchy servers in Minecraft.
