About 8b8t

The oldest non-vanilla survival server. A world written entirely by its players.

Built to outlast the moment.

8b8t operates with minimal administrative intervention, allowing the world to evolve through the actions of its players. Gameplay is player-driven, with few restrictions — a persistent world shaped by the community over time.

One world.
Several eras.

A decade of survival, three names, one identity.

2016

Born as 0b0t

Created by Leee as a non-vanilla survival alternative to 2b2t and its endless queue times.

2019

Rebranded to 6b6t

After losing the original domain, the server took a new name. Its map ran from March 3, 2019 until April 2020.

2020

A New World

A hardware failure took the old map offline. The current world was created on August 18, 2020 — and hasn't been reset since.

2021

8b8t Today

Reborn as 8b8t, the server carries the same world forward — six years of player history and counting.

Under the Hood

8b8t runs on a highly customized Folia fork for multi-threaded performance traditional servers can't match. Our core plugin, 8b8tCore, is the most advanced anti-illegal system ever made — protecting the server at the bitstream level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hacking allowed on 8b8t.me?
Yes. Client-side mods/hacks are allowed, but we run anti-cheat to help keep the server stable and cut down on lag from exploited clients.
Why do illegal events exist?
Illegal events are a way to make money from the server. We do not profit off our server and our anti-illegal system allows us to revert items after the illegal event.
Why is there /homes, /tpa, etc.?
Being the very first non-vanilla survival server, we streamlined most of the tedious tasks. The majority of our playerbase prefers such commands as it makes it easier to make massive builds with less players.
What is the seed of 8b8t?
The seed is hashed with the Blake3 Digest algorithm — a one-way function to protect against world terrain exploitation such as block rotations, bedrock, and terrain. We keep the salt private.
Can I join 8b8t on Bedrock?
Yes, we have Bedrock Edition support using the IP Address br.8b8t.me with the Port 19132.
How do I dupe?
The primary method is the "8b8t donkey dupe".
