2b2t’s History of Kings
The video examines two players who claimed to be king of 2b2t, focusing on the server’s smaller-community era from 2010 to early 2016. During this period, players could still broadly agree on who held influence.
Chris Lighten (2011)
Chris repeatedly claimed that he was “the king of 2b2t.” His obnoxious behavior and relentless griefing—including pouring lava over the fixed spawn point to kill new players—made him notorious. He also helped dig early sections of the Nether-roof X Highway.
Because he used his real name as his Minecraft username, other players were able to identify and harass him until he left the server. The video presents his story as a warning to protect personal information and avoid seeking notoriety through provocation.
Pyroite
Initially viewed as obnoxious, Pyroite stood out for his technical abilities. He created a hacked client, exploited server access, and reached the world border with iTristan in 2013. He also helped create 32k items and became known for spawning withers named after himself.
Over time, Pyroite earned respect through his involvement in bases and leadership, especially at Asgard 2, a major group base in 2015.
Asgard 2 and Wrath Outpost
Pyroite accidentally leaked Asgard 2’s coordinates in a group chat, contributing to the base’s fall. He kept his role in the leak hidden. According to the video, he then helped channel the community’s response into the third incursion at spawn, using infinite blocks to build the famous Wrath Outpost. The effort gave the base’s members a positive shared memory despite their loss.
Pyroite left 2b2t quietly in early 2016 and largely disappeared from the internet. The narrator considers him the closest the server has had to a genuine king: powerful, broadly respected, and generally restrained in how he used that power. As the player base grew and became more divided, the kind of community consensus that made a “king” possible faded.
