How 2b2t's Largest Wall Record Was BROKEN

after three years the record has finally been broken the largest obsidian wall ever constructed on the oldest anarchy server in minecraft is now 8.1 million blocks all placed in survival not only is it over five times the size of the previous record but it was designed in minecraft's forbidden shape a circle it's so massive that additional render distance is needed just to see the curvature the name of the project was linked horizon more than 100 players joined forces to build this massive wall over the span of 125 days with the project almost ending in disaster it was saved only through the sheer perseverance of the builders so i'm sure you're wondering why would people dedicate so much time to claiming a record on a minecraft server it's 2v2t are you surprised today we'll discuss the history of project linked horizon from start to finish the challenges that were overcome and why this project was so difficult to complete compared to previous builds on the server the dedication that this community has never ceases to amaze me if you love these stories as much as i do make sure to hit that subscribe button alright let's start from the beginning it all started six months ago with a 2b2t player named omega he was a big fan of the anime attack on titan in which giant walls play a huge role in the story he greatly enjoyed the aesthetics of the show and so it inspired him to build a massive barrier of his own he decided that breaking the record for the server's largest wall would be the perfect excuse to make one he began planning the project and quickly realized how much work was needed if the record was going to be broken the server's previous record was held by the incursion spawn wall which was built in 2018 this wall contained 1.6 million blocks of obsidian and at the time of its construction was the largest spawn structure ever built but over the years it slowly started falling into disrepair it was littered with massive holes due to griefing withers and scavengers looking for extra obsidian despite the damage though it still survived to the present day omega knew that if a larger wall were constructed it could survive even longer he decided to call his project linked horizon he began announcing his plans to the community and put out a request for builders he got in contact with a well-known player named iron exception who would end up helping with the walls design you see omega originally wanted to build three different walls surrounding spawn all in the shape of circles jokingly referred to as minecraft's forbidden shape circles were chosen because they were more resource efficient compared to previous walls which were all squares through his research iron had discovered that the farthest out a player could spawn when joining for the first time was around two thousand blocks away from zero zero if the circular wall was larger than this everyone in the overworld would spawn inside of it of the original three walls the middle one coincidentally had a radius of about two thousand blocks meaning it was the perfect size so the other two walls were abandoned the middle wall would go from bedrock to build limit and be three to four obsidian blocks thick making it more challenging to mine through this would also give it a somewhat practical use for keeping new players trapped iron exception had already constructed an obsidian ring road exactly 2048 blocks away from spawn so this structure would become the outline for the linked horizon wall with many builders assembled the project was ready to proceed except there was a problem the wall would require 8.1 million blocks of obsidian which was way more than any of the builders had how were they going to acquire millions of them in such a short amount of time the answer was to reach out to a 2v2t legend they contacted thebes and sound a long time player on the server he had been the mastermind behind the 2018 obsidian wall and was the founder of the southern canal an obsidian waterway that stretched hundreds of thousands of blocks along tubi tt southern axis the southern canal corps had millions of extra blocks of obsidian so thieves was willing to donate them to the linked horizon project now that they had enough obsidian it was time to take the old record and completely demolish it construction officially started on january 7th 2021 during the first few days linked horizon had its highest number of concurrent builders over 100 players would end up placing obsidian in some capacity like most projects on the server duped ender chests were the primary source of obsidian a camp was built near the wall's starting point where ender chests were mined and obsidian distributed advanced building techniques were introduced to the project thanks to members of the highway workers union a group responsible for maintaining the server's roadways they taught people how to mine e-chests faster than ever before using a hack client it was possible to mine an e-chest and replace it at the exact same time this allowed an entire inventory to be filled with obsidian very quickly scaffolding techniques were introduced by the union that allowed for vertical columns to be created with ease going from bedrock to build limit was quicker than ever before much of the obsidian placement could be somewhat automated thanks to baritone but manual input was still needed in case there was water and lava or a builder fell off the wall many members regarded the first few weeks of the project as the most enjoyable there was a true sense of community but after just one month of construction the wall would face a major problem one that threatened the entire project at this point you're probably guessing it was griefing or sabotage right the reality is that it was something far more sinister boredom after one month of non-stop construction the wall was only 25 completed many of the builders had slowly realized just how massive an 8.1 million obsidian wall actually was and quietly began leaving the project those that stayed ramped up the construction to make up for the lost builders but the problem only got worse other obsidian projects that were developed alongside the wall were starting to take shape and required far less obsidian these projects would pull even more builders away from the linked horizon as they were considered more exciting to be a part of by early march with the wall only 50 percent complete the amount of active builders had dropped from 100 to only three futson piru and batacope who had all been with the project since the start were the only ones dedicated enough to continue working on it they had already been the top three builders for the first two months placing more obsidian than any other players they realized that between the three of them over 4 million obsidian was still needed for completion in their shoes most players would have given up entirely and deemed the project a failure but their resolve was unbreakable and they vowed to complete the wall no matter how long it took they increased their obsidian output to absolutely insane levels they were working such long hours that according to their data there was actually a slight increase in the rate of construction despite only being three of them they would take turns working around the clock for the next two months mining their own obsidian and then placing it in an endless cycle of madness regular minecrafters would have been broken but 2b2t players are built different batacope would place over 1 million obsidian futsin would place almost two and a half million and piru single-handedly placed over three million according to their data over 81 percent of the wall was completed by just the three of them with the last 19 being distributed among the other 97 builders i cannot stress enough just how impressive this actually is the wall had grown so big that it was now larger than the 2018 wall the giant awoo and the giant picora all combined some of the builders that had gone inactive saw that the project was still coming along and slowly began returning on may 12 125 days after construction began the wall was finally completed shattering the old record by over six and a half million obsidian a party was held as the final block was placed while omega was the mastermind behind linked horizon and over a hundred players contributed the last trio of builders were the true reason the project succeeded they faced not griefers but their own internal struggles and they came out victorious the only question now is will a record like this ever be topped only time will tell if you enjoyed today's video make sure to hit that like button also follow my socials but that's it so take it easy fit fam and stay
