Minecraft fans archive 24TB from notorious 2b2t server

A dedicated group of Minecraft players has completed a massive digital archaeology project, archiving 24 terabytes of data from the game's notorious 2b2t anarchy server. This extensive archive preserves a million-square-block region of the server's world, which has been running for 16 years with minimal rules. The team, which included organizers like Crayne and contributors such as Fuch and Mahan, spent years and significant personal resources on this endeavor, carefully working to avoid detection by other players who might disrupt their efforts. The archived data, covering various dimensions of the server, will be shared via torrent in the coming weeks, with open-source tools also being made available. AI
