History of 8b8t

The history of 8b8t.

8b8t Overview
8b8t started around late July/August of 2018,

claiming it held true anarchy values, a owner

who doesn't abuse, and the enabled 1.12 dupe.

Now owner, Iz_Da_Bait originally was hosting the server

for free for SevereAutism, but soon showed to

be abusive and progressively lost control of the server.

Faraday1056 in a group effort with the Vault are making an archive of all kits on 8b8t here.

The First day
The server was kept mostly for ServereAustism and Bait while some abusing was done to make sure that the server would appear slightly anarchaic, at least for new players who joined. This abusing included building lots of tnt around spawn to blow up craters, making lavacasts and teleporting to the end to get shulker boxes to hand out to everyone. If you would like a taste of this abusiveness, you may find the boxes named "ServereAustism's Gay Beds" (Later Renamed to the unoriginal “Autistic Bed Sheets”), "Autistic Tool Box", "PvP Kit 274.0" and “Autistic Buffet” - which are very rare kits that most likely no longer can be found on the server, after the border griefs. Here is a brief history of the server, edited and/or suggested changes by the people of 8b8t.

10 Days after
A new server was popping up, being spam advertised for its "1.12 Dupe" on many servers including 4b4t, 6a6k, 9b9t, 2b2t and many other clones. In the midst of 3 hours after being up, 8b8t was already running with 12-18 players. 14 days into the server, many people started becoming regulars. And the permanent discord was founded (all the old ones kept being deleted by ServereAustism),

The Incursions
The First Incursion began where ServereAustism was losing control of himself and abused badly on the server, causing many to quit and many bases to be griefed. Bait took control of the server very soon after this. For the next week, Lag machines created by players rebelling the abuse of the previous owner was being made, which lasted throughout to the end of August. ServereAustism has been seen on the server a couple times, but nobody seems to understand what he is doing, or “what he is preparing for.” We never really know their discord or Minecraft name, because he changes it often including their skin. Here you can track him: https://namemc.com/profile/Kory11017.1 Early September, the world border had already been discovered and the map exceeded 25 gb in size. The lack of an anti cheat at this time was obvious because of the fast travel of players, so one was added, including a nether roof / floor restriction.

The Second Incursion (this one is a non official one, some consider it to be an incursion, some not) incursion started mid-late September when many bases were griefed by Ezra and their team mates, a new but striking player on the server. The world border base was yet again griefed, and all three of the end bases that had many members including Bait, TMC3_, LepouletQuiRote, Stephen, Infinitum, Duluth, Felix, and more. The method that their team used to find the coordinates of the base was never disclosed.

The Third Incursion happened soon after, where Desert_Bunny griefed an end base that belonged to some of their friends, apparently because of a disagreement or because someone attacked him when he was teleported. New items were brought in such as the 32k sword, enchanted glass (which has been lost, the item seems to be extremely rare today, and hard to find.) and the famous pig spawners.

The Fourth Incursion happened during the great decay of Christmas, where there were an average of 1-6 people online, during late December. The new 32k pickaxe has been brought in on the fourth of January, which an enchantment of 15 fortune, 30 efficiency and 32767 unbreaking, item restriction has been turned off, and it is estimated to last for a long time throughout January, with the item restriction possibly not being removed after the incursion. Many new and old players have started to join the server since the start of this new incursion, partly because of the new pickaxes and the vacations.

The Battle Of Gallifrey This battle is often confused with the fifth incursion, but it has nothing to do with it. In fact it happened 2 months earlier during january. There were two opposing groups, the first one being Gallifrey and the second one being The Path. Everything started with the_taxi_tank joining the server, and having some contact with Faraday1056. After acquiring their first kits and spreading them around at spawn, the_taxi_tank called out Faraday1056 on being fakely suiscidal. The path didnt like this, so the_taxi_tank's base got griefed by desert_bunny and xxEzraBxxx. After this had happened, the_taxi_tank headed to spawn with their new ally pandaturtle8 and built a tiny structure which later came to be called Gallifrey Outpost. After defending the outpost for a week, it finally got destroyed by The Path, and then a pseudo-treaty was signed by either sides.

The Fifth Incursion happened on March 2nd when an old largely hated player joined the server for the first time in 2 and a half months, named Purj. Purj was assisted with some of their friends including Jamie and some others seen earlier on in 0b0t. They had built a large lag machine which caused the server to go into mayhem while Bait was celebrating their birthday with their family. It forced him to go back to the server and deal with the issues. As the rules apply, Bait leaked the coords of said lag machine and went with other players to destroy it. There was a large battle, which also introduced the new LAG FIREWORKS into the game. Purj got away, but he remains stuck underneath the void, as a hole used to fly through the bedrock was later patched up. This battle is not to be confused with the Battle of Gallifrey.

The Academy Bloodbath happened on may 1st 2020. After increasing tensions between The Academy and The Path desert_bunny decides to attack the_taxi_tank (Academy's leader) at spawn. the_taxi_tank doesn't take long to respond, and teleports FreakingPeter to the place to fight off the increasing ammount of players attacking them. A long battle takes place, where FreakingPeter and the_taxi_tank didn't die once, but The Path suffered a total of 15 deaths. At the end of the battle only desert_bunny was remaining, and was then killed by the_taxi_tank. However it was too early to celebrate victory. Faraday1056 teleported to Gravitite0414 and started griefing his base(Triangulum) after desert_bunny took Gravitite out. By that time the_taxi_tank has already arrived and had just enough time to kill Faraday1056, who was AFK. After noticing that The Path was outnumbering The Academy taxi teleported FreakingPeter to the new place of warfare. The results of the second fight were the_taxi_tank logging out, everyone running away from FreakingPeter, 1 Academy death, 12 Path deaths, Triangulum Museum griefed. At the end of the day everyone was exhausted so the fighting stopped.

TheRealDunk has recorded some footage of the second fight. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atwKmvkpk_A&feature=youtu.be

8b8t's Major Battles/Events
On July 25th, 2019, Kory, under the alt c8nt was killed after a attack/inside from Faraday, Desert, Ezra, and TMC3. In a monumental moment, Faraday killed Kory. The next two hours were spent invading and destroying korys machine and spawn, as well as making new long-time enemy Binary0, the creator of the unbreakable armor kits, log out of a fight. Later that day, it was found that TMC's Final Megabase was griefed. This was a very depressing moment, that made this day very bittersweet for Faraday and all of the server as nearly a year old active base was destroyed. However, a new plan began to form in the Golden Millenium megabase, of which the first block was placed by Bait around 7 PM EDT (Griefed 2020).

A Small battle began on 9/1/2019 when iiiAK470iii aka SCP-682-j, or the_taxi_tank wanted to start drama with [[TMC3_ to “revive” the server, despite there already being 7-10 players online that night at once. But that couldn't happen, because TMC3 was not having it. After searching for targets such as Faraday1056, Waterbub, and more, Bait became his next target. AK470 teleported to Waterbub and then attacked bub and the true battle began. Hearing that one of his fellow friends was being attacked, Bait came into the fight to help. Their fight destroyed the landscape and sent them both plummeting to the bottom of the ocean, as they went through hundreds of totems. AK plunged his anime sword into Bait's chest, leaving his dead, however AK had run out of breath, after being underwater for so long, so he died shortly after as well.

Base Infinitum, A Mega base Started by Infinitum in late july, and worked on by Infinitum, TheBlockyWarrior, And Deathpath13. It started out small, with a single building with a giant "I" on top, and then grew a little in size, for during october of 2019, Bait, The owner of 8b8t, held a contest for bases and he in the end decided mine as the winner. To win this though, we built multiple things and basically made a mini city, but then became discouraged after we won and really had no stride to continue. The base basically was forgot about and we did not do much to it after words, until around february, When i decided to continue, because why not, and i started to add minor details so such buildings and some major things, but this time i wanted to make something huge, something massive, and thats what i did. (Quick thing, i did not know about baritone at the time so i did not use it! This was all by hand took about a week to do) I built a 100x100 Obsidian Pyramid, and i felt like that was good. But then i had the engenius idea to make another one, in quartz. Which i did do but it took awhile to clean out land. I then eventuall made another 100x100 pyramid made out of emyrald and then made a diamond one and topped it off with the gold one. Before this time, the only people to know about the base were blocky and deathpath, but i began to make a friendship with taxi, who is still a close 8b friend of mine, and he was the first person ever besides the 2 builders that got shown the base. I shortly after decided to show bait too, knowing he nor taxi would never grief. After finishing with the pyramids, i took a map of it and it looked basically like cool map art, that was sadly lost in the end grief, but we'll get to that a bit later. After finishing with the pyramids, i wanted to add a museum. A museum had been my dream to have at my base, and i finally decided to do it. My friend, blocky, designed the front of the museum but i ended up finishing it, and in it held multiple rare items such as the melom, enchanted melon, backdoored stick, rare banners, and much more. I after words added a few things more and ended up showing fara the base too, but then i would say about a week maybe 2 after i made the museum and some other stuff, the base was griefed. It was griefed by desert_bunny, Reminism, And TheRealDunk. I still dislike them to this day and will forever. If im correct, they found the base through a nether portal i had placed recently. Anyways, the base was about 10 months old and was griefed on the night of may 3rd. Rest in piece base infinitum, and i thank everyone who helped build it. if you wish to see the base for you're self, here is a base tour, there is a world download in the desc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEv0XDBA4IQ&t=236s

Corona Revival
After recent worldwide events causing the world to shut down due to a pandemic, 8b8t was seeing a massive revival. With up to 20 players online at peak hours on certain days, 8b8t was getting popular again. A flock of Spanish players began to explore the server as a Spanish youtuber made a video about clones, yet were mostly halted by threats and book bans by the older players, against the word of Bait. A new bread item named “Banana Bread” with the lore of “Actually French Toast” was spawned to fuzzbanks, and is currently the most rare hacked item on the server. The Banana Bread was then traded with Discusser for 12 parrots, who then duped it, but promised to not distribute it to anyone, keeping it one of the most rare hacked items on the server.

At 11/04/2020 some drama went down. Appearantly the_taxi_tank had backdoored the server, however the ammount of damage is unknown. During the event thousands of items were spawned in, but Iz_Da_Bait interviened quickly and removed the_taxi_tank´s stashes. It is speculated that there is another third stash existing somewhere on the server, but nor taxi or bait want to speak about the topic. Some items that remain after the event are the "taxi's backdoor" stick and the "melom" melon block, the last one being in posession of Infnitum.
