Imagine joining a MC server, building a random building, getting bored or otherwise forgetting about it for years and year.. then you log back onto that server one day and find out that your random base is considered a relic and a part of server history
a minecraft day is 20 rl minutes, making the ratio between mc time and real time 1 to72. meaning that in minceraft time, this base is 864 years old. Its like finding an actual medieval castle and I love it
Chiekn was not alone in the build removal. A few of us were out there with him preserving the base in its original state. To us the additions desecrated the base so we reversed what they did. We only removed the new builds. Anything that was there before the additions was left as they were before the additions.
not to denounce the dedication it took removing these builds, but wasnt it obvious that removing builds by other players would eventually lead to tensions that could threaten the base? wouldnt it be more wise to comply with the situation and make sure the original base just remains, instead of risking it all by trying to remove all other bases? just asking
I dont understand how people began building massive crap around the base. Didnt they ever think that adding bigger stuff would make it an easier target? I respect gratefully what Chiekn did. Sadly it didn't last long. You all are so mad about this comment, it's not like I didn't add a pinch of satire or two on it, and, do you all realize how funny of an idea a game archeologist sounds? Stop whining about it
What if the original builder watches your videos and ended up getting back into mincraft found out what had been going on (without giving up that they built it) and went to destroy their own creation. That would be one heck of a twist.
Yea there is always the chance the person is of older age but just the chance they were young teens to maybe early 20s at that point I wouldn't blame them for doing it, I mean would wouldn't rather destroy their own creation instead of giving griefers on 2b2t the satisfaction of blowing it up
He wasn't alone but he did a majority of it. Took the few of us about a day to take it all down. The terrain was the hardest part. Chiekn did most of that as well. Chiekn is a really cool person.
Regarding the controversy of "preservation" with keeping it pristine vs. adding new builds... The Monastery was different from The Invisible Castle. The Monastery, while abandoned for a long time, became an active base again. Thus, adding more builds to it makes sense. The Invisible Castle, on the other hand, wasn't being actively used as a base by anyone. Therefore, if you're going to preserve it, leave it pristine.
I'm glad it was greifed. Imagine spending hours, days, or weeks trying to contribute to a base, only to discover your work wasn't appreciated and somebody had taken the whole thing down. I'd be pissed. It's a pretty satisfying petty revenge to destroy something that was cared about, because the person who was trying to "preserve the legacy" destroyed something you cared about. That's just my opinion though.
personally I'm a fan of keeping it exactly the way it was instead of adding structures to it. Granted the structures are cool, they take attention away from what really should be seen, the invisible castle.
Maybe, but deciding to destroy the structures around it was really a terrible move, as any thinking person would realize the consequences/backlash that would occur from such a thing.
"They take attention away from what really should be *seen,* the *Invisible* Castle." I just wanted to point out the irony in that sentence. But I do agree with you; the Castle itself should be the focus, not a retrofit obsidian Eiffel Tower.
@@peterhiser7883 it was all we could do (I was one of the guys who reversed the new builds). We were friends with the leader of the group that built the new structures, and he was okay with us reversing the builds. The problem was that the group that built over the base was basically a bunch of children, and it was their fault the base got greifed.
It's always so fascinating seeing builds that old in MC, especially coming from the typical server which usually only has a lifespan of 1-2years. There's just something so magical about those old builds, especially in an environment as hostile as an anarchy server
This is why if you really want it to stick around, don't tell anyone you found it. As soon as you tell one person, it'll keep spreading until it reaches someone that griefs it. In this case it seems likely that it was an act of revenge by one of the builders whose creation (the structures built around the castle) had been removed.
yeah i think that was kind of a bad idea. and having those buildings there might have given them other things to blow up and distracted from them from the castle.
a quick correction. i went on the last world download of this base i had before it was undone and chiekn actually had to mine closer to 50k obsidian. the exact number was 47812. i used worldeddit and /count obsidian to figure this out.
I love these videos every time, they're so well made and FitMC just goes so in depth and digs real deep into the past. There's always something new to discover on 2b2t. But really though this guy would make an excellent archaeologist or narrator for a documentary!
In my opinion, Cheikn did the right thing. If the travelers and tourists had built their additions following the classic and simple style, mainly using cobble and wood with little to no fancy blocks, they probably would have stayed up. Not everything needs to be complex.
Based my ass, he's a manchild who couldn't control his weak ass emotions, spent a month of his life griefing the work of people who were being peaceful & keeping the base alive and he's single handedly responsible for it's destruction, he's basicly a DINDU nuffin.
@@ssilent8202 Respectfully, those base builders weren't adding to the original. They basically gentrified the whole place and turned it into a tourist attraction. The builds were cool, but the appeal was an untouched 2011 build. If they were located literally anywhere else, not a single soul would complain.
I love the history of 2b2t, the fact that a base was so vulnerable but wasn’t grieved is amazing! And this is why you should leave old build sites alone.
Ah, the old "player(s) has their thing grieifed and gets so butthurt over it they destroy everything else in petty revenge" moment. A classic moment in minecraft in general and here as well. Sometimes people forget how extremely petty and spiteful people can be/get if you touch, mess with or break their things.
I don't think that was the case. When we removed the builds we told the builders why we did it. Most understood and some apologized for it. They didn't want to damage the base and didn't understand they were doing exactly that.
I agree with him a old base should be preserved in the way they found it and not tampered with. It's like adding on to a historical painting. You just can't do that
I'm not sure if it was intentional but even the music choice was perfect. Lindblum Castle's theme from FF9. Specifically, an impressive castle that was destroyed as the result of a conflict.
7:18 just like in real life , also the chiekn guy is a legend for destroying all that modern garbage , like who thought it was a good idea to build that stuff in the first place
He's not a legend, he's an idiot. He should've thought ahead for more than a second to realize that there would be consequences, such as greifing, to his actions. His terrible decision lead to the destruction of the base. In what way is he a "legend"?
@Benny Yu how so? The base didn't avoid getting griefed for so long simply because it was small. The size of the base doesn't matter, it's the number of people that frequent it, that normally leads to the greifing of the base, and there were plenty of people who frequented it, even before those other builds started showing up. What caused the greifing if the base wasn't the existence of the modern builds, obviously. It was the backlash from that idiot destroying everyone else's builds.
I was a part of the group that expanded the base, even helped come up with the name! After we found it, we spent a few days trying to figure out what to do-- expand it or find a new place to build. While that happened, i started maintaining the existing farms and doing small repairs (replacing missing blocks, fixxing gaps in ladders). I ended up helping build a banner and book museum with another player, and we both opted to build only blocks available during the original build, to keep in line with the original aesthetic. I even ended up building a wooden cottage nearby with the same idea. Im not surprised the base was griefed, it was just a matter of time. I just hope the books and banners were saved. The Invisible Castle was my first "home" on 2b, and i will always fondly look back on the memories i made there while organizing chests and farming. Wild that its now featured in a 2b video!
@Crazyguy_123 yeah, like I said, while the whole group agreed not to modify the original structure, it was just a few of us in the group who kept to the same exterior building style. theres a few shots of them in the video, like the small building with the glass roof, but they're not as eye-catching as the obsidian builds.
@@TilleyYT I liked some of those stone brick and glass builds. The sky dome one was cool and that maze too. Somebody did mess with the main castle but I'm glad it stayed mostly untouched. The obsidian really was bad but the actual builds were nice.
@SUPERVANS yeah, but since the patch, the ladders were unusable, and we still wanted to be able to access the higher levels. My thought process was that it made more sense to fill the existing ladder gaps instead of building a new staircase or something.

My dad used to play in this server when i was 2yo also when i showed him he said that he dont remember but after some few min. He rembered this Base and then i seen in his eyes and i felt that nostalagic moment of Dad’s Adventure on 2t2b
3:55 So ironic how the base surviving the longest was a casual players who just went there for fun, made a small castle, probably left it and didn't think of it at all while titans and their megabuilds rise and fell for years and years.
FitMC has such a presence that I can FEEL it when he is about to upload a day before, I have been able to correctly assume the exact date for the past 20 uploads.
it's awe-inspiring just how strange and unique 2b2t's world is. it's gone through numerous world generators & versions, rendering the world a chaotic patchwork littered with lost relics of the past, it has pushed the game to such limits that things have cracked and broken at the seams in ways we'll likely never see again, and that's barely scratching the surface. history books could be written based off of 2b2t. hell, that patchwork aspect of the world could also make for some quite interesting writing. ngl there's a lot of stuff in 2b2t and its history that would make for interesting concepts in writing.
Crazy how there's somebody out in the world right now who built a castle in Minecraft 12 years ago and probably has no idea about how intriguing it's history would/has become
I'm glad it got restored before it was destroyed. It is rather fitting that it's begining and ending are a mystery. Such a nice little castle, sad to see it go
Over 300,000 unique persons have logged into 2b2t, the majority of which never escape spawn but the rest will build several bases while playing. There would be tens of thousands of bases at least, most of which have already been griefed or abandoned
If a 12 year old kid built this in 2011, they were probably in 6 or 7th grade, now they probably have graduated college, they might have a house, they might be married, they may have kids. It is strange to see something like that preserved in history, building that base could have been something they spent a few days on when they were a kid just having fun, now they are an adult with a life infinitely more complex.
People are so dedicated to this server, that you just casually dropped an intricate and detailed method of Minecraft forensics. Players have developed a fleshed out sector of forensics specifically for minecraft
Oh wow I completely forgot about that base, that's incredibly old haha, a little while after the base was built I had moved bases where it eventually was destroyed sometime around early 2012 which is around the time I stopped playing, crazy to see that it is still standing today! Thank you for finding it courier6 and FitMC and documenting it!
Imagine building this base and coming back 12 years later, seeing people protecting it.
imagine building this base and forgetting about it and then you come across this video talking about how it lasted 12 years

I am glad hes doing well, the 2b2t war was soo long ago now, i found it by chance, but i loved watching his videos and livestreams.. very nostalgic i come back everynow and again, i hope the best for him, ive been subbed since under 20k subs, so im proud of how far hes come.
My dad used to play in this server when i was 2yo also when i showed him he said that he dont remember but after some few min. He rembered this Base and then i seen in his eyes and i felt that nostalagic moment of Dad’s Adventure on 2t2b
That Player Decision To Left His House Is Smart. Because, Of That One Decision, He Save His Base From Several Exploit.
Cobblestone-and-oak-plank castle aesthetic is truly quintessential Minecraft.
It survived longer on an anarchy server than my base survives on a peaceful single player server
3:55 So ironic how the base surviving the longest was a casual players who just went there for fun, made a small castle, probably left it and didn't think of it at all while titans and their megabuilds rise and fell for years and years.
First Sign was an early discoverer who finished the base.
Original Owner came back and griefed it themselves.
Hmm...
FitMC has such a presence that I can FEEL it when he is about to upload a day before, I have been able to correctly assume the exact date for the past 20 uploads.
0:50 the longest KNOWN surviving base in 2B2T's history
That base gave me 2011 Nostalgia, glad it was archived
This was my base! Me and my friend build this we were 12 years old. Haven’t logged in since, thank you!
Same, I built this too
I like to imagine the bases mysterious builder was the one behind the greifing.
"I brought you into this world, and I can take you out."
Considering the fact that 12 years equals to 864 Years in minecraft
Is just insane the base has been standing for a long time in real life too.
This server sounds like it’s filled with the most miserable 10 year olds you could find
it's awe-inspiring just how strange and unique 2b2t's world is. it's gone through numerous world generators & versions, rendering the world a chaotic patchwork littered with lost relics of the past, it has pushed the game to such limits that things have cracked and broken at the seams in ways we'll likely never see again, and that's barely scratching the surface. history books could be written based off of 2b2t.
hell, that patchwork aspect of the world could also make for some quite interesting writing. ngl there's a lot of stuff in 2b2t and its history that would make for interesting concepts in writing.
Ayyyy ma man Ceaj!!! Probably the #2 historian on 2b2t right now.
lol it’s crazy how you can estimate the date via archeological evidence from terrain generation
I'd like to think that the one who built it so long ago was the same person who destroyed it now
Crazy how there's somebody out in the world right now who built a castle in Minecraft 12 years ago and probably has no idea about how intriguing it's history would/has become
i mean he probably thought the server wouldn't even survive that long to care enough, but yes
I'm glad it got restored before it was destroyed. It is rather fitting that it's begining and ending are a mystery. Such a nice little castle, sad to see it go
i was not expecting to hear pikmin 2 music in a 2b2t video. good shit.
it would be very poetic if the guy who created the base is the same guy who griefed it after finding out how popular or tense the area is.
I agree
The determination of archivists like Chiekn is wild, and kinda admirable.
Chiekn is one of the best. Chiekn did a majority of it with the help and support of a few others who also care deeply for historic builds.
Blowing up a minecraft base for no reason has to be one of the most childish things a player can do
How do people find destroying people’s hard work fun? What joy do people get from ruining others days?
@@CullenRTerrypersonal gain. And clout.
I just have to say, 2043 and further on, this channel will be considered the best documentrie of a minecraft server
Those "Additions" people placed around the castle are essentially the same as that awful heap of glass ruining the aesthetic of the Louvre
I do start do believe that there are much more base survived longer than this base, and it's probably underground
Plot twist, the guy who made it 12 years ago saw a screenshot of it, logged back in and blew it up himself 😂
Thank you fit for uploading without you i would probably left hosting my anarchy server
Random dirt base : *exists for 12 years*
FitMC : NEW WORLD RECORD
That's a high dose of autism to go and remove all the surrounding creations around the castle. Especially without TNT
Ive never been sad over a minecraft base being grieft
I never played on 2b2t, but these stories are just so interesting
the ammount of people claiming to be the original builder 😂😂😂
Avarage 2b2t 10 old: destroys everything.
The gigachad players: Brothers, we will protect this old structure that brings nostalgia.
massive props to you throwing in pikmin 2 music, major nostalgia blast from that
Plot twist, the one who BUILT the castle... Was INFACT the one who griefed it...
They weren't.
@@Crazyguy_123MC this guys probably the same dude when you finish a knock knock joke he says "you still didn't tell me who's there 🤓"
and you say that to one of the people who helped cheikn in his endeavors
As a french I laughed when you pronounced "Produit Fini"
de même mdr
C'est ça quoi, c'est pas si difficile que ça
Imagine nuking a base because your ugly non original construction was removed.
They didn't grief it. We know who did.
The Pikmin 2 music just hit the *perfect* note for me - thanks for using it!
Sees sign in French and homie says “this may mean he’s from France” nice detective skills there man.
There should be a unspoken rule in 2b2t to have the respect not to destroy old bases
Imagine how old does your Minecraft base have to be just to be older than 40% of 2b2t's playerbase lmfao
There must be hundreds of bases like this hidden out there
Over 300,000 unique persons have logged into 2b2t, the majority of which never escape spawn but the rest will build several bases while playing. There would be tens of thousands of bases at least, most of which have already been griefed or abandoned
If a 12 year old kid built this in 2011, they were probably in 6 or 7th grade, now they probably have graduated college, they might have a house, they might be married, they may have kids. It is strange to see something like that preserved in history, building that base could have been something they spent a few days on when they were a kid just having fun, now they are an adult with a life infinitely more complex.
People are so dedicated to this server, that you just casually dropped an intricate and detailed method of Minecraft forensics. Players have developed a fleshed out sector of forensics specifically for minecraft
Oh wow I completely forgot about that base, that's incredibly old haha, a little while after the base was built I had moved bases where it eventually was destroyed sometime around early 2012 which is around the time I stopped playing, crazy to see that it is still standing today! Thank you for finding it courier6 and FitMC and documenting it!
you aint the guy bruh
...cool(?)
