Is 2b2t up right now?
The queue proxy answers once a minute. If the timestamp below is recent, 2b2t is accepting connections. If it stalls, check the official status page linked further down.
What version is 2b2t on?
2b2t runs Minecraft Java 1.21.4. The move happened on 4 June 2025 after a public test on test.2b2t.org in March. The server sits behind a compatibility layer, so clients on newer releases can still connect; the server list shows the supported range when you add 2b2t.org. Clients older than 1.21.4 are refused.
Two changes came with 1.21.4 that still shape play: chunk trimming, and phantoms, which after two weeks of complaints were confined to the End and made passive. The server has also acknowledged a chunk-loading performance regression since the update and a series of network problems through late 2025.
Is Bedrock working?
No. On 11 December 2025 2b2t opened an experimental Bedrock entry point at bedrock.2b2t.org, port 19132, and said Java would remain the priority. In 2026 the experiment was shut down permanently and the endpoint taken offline; 2b2t.org never posted about the shutdown, and on 3 September 2026 the address did not answer a standard Bedrock ping while other Bedrock servers answered immediately. 2b2t is Java-only. Full details on the Bedrock page.
The official status page
2b2t publishes uptime for its queue, main server, website and shop at status.2b2t.org. It shows incidents and uptime percentages, not queue numbers. Over the last 90 days it has reported both degraded periods and outages, so if the queue number here stalls, that is where to look for the reason.
Limits worth knowing
- Session limit: 8 hours. After that you are disconnected and rejoin at the back of the queue.
- One-time reconnect. A short grace window after a disconnect lets you rejoin without re-queuing. A full restart clears the queue.
- Chat filter and rules. Since 12 January 2026 some strings are silently blocked, and the matching is on substrings, so ordinary words containing them do not appear either. Profanity on signs and map art is blocked since February. The full rulebook.
How we verify this page
The live numbers come from api.2b2t.vc. The version, Bedrock and limits facts are checked by hand against the server itself and the official site, and the date at the top of each section is the last time that happened. If you find something stale, the About page says how to reach us.
Don't want to wait?
6b6t has no queue and no rules, supports Java, Bedrock and offline accounts, and has around 350 players online on average. Java players need the free AnarchyMod since the July 2026 blocklist; Bedrock joins directly.
