Since its creation, the server gained attention from the news. Articles were created about 2b2t on "Kotaku, Vice, IGN, Newsweek" and "The Independent". In the book "Master Builder 3.0 Advanced", in April 2015, 2b2t was described as crazy, that it can get "outright wild," and that the server is a "nightmare wasteland." The book also stated that it is known as "online royalty" among "Minecraft" servers.
