The story of Mats, and his avatar, is now being told in a documentary, The Remarkable Life of Ibelin. The BBC has more: flip.it/KLP6Ip

The Overworld World Border on the 2b2t Minecraft server, with various player names and logos inscribed in large block letters on the border wall. SalC1's name is prominently displayed in dark blue block letters. The "BRABCRAFT" logo is visible above in colorful blocks, surrounded by other player names like "ROOT50." The scene includes a stone walkway leading toward the border wall, with additional structures and remnants scattered along the pathway. The border wall itself is defined by a distinctive blue, striped visual effect indicating the world’s edge. Floating blocks and broken pathways contribute to the chaotic atmosphere characteristic of the server's border area.
A massive black structure on the 2b2t Minecraft server, resembling a colossal creature with wide wings extending outward. The design is detailed, with glowing red spots that could represent eyes or other features on the creature's face, adding an ominous presence. The wings appear to have a gradient effect, transitioning to a smoky white near the edges, creating a ghostly appearance. A pathway made of blocks leads directly toward the base of the structure, suggesting an entrance or focal point. The surrounding terrain appears to be a vast ocean biome, emphasizing the scale of this dark, winged creation.
A massive, towering black structure in the shape of a horned figure, situated on the 2b2t Minecraft server. The figure resembles a formidable warrior or demon, with large horns extending upward from its head and broad, wing-like extensions on its back that transition into a smoky white color. The structure's details, including its chest and limbs, are intricately designed, adding depth to the figure's imposing presence. It stands on a grassy hilltop in a diverse biome, surrounded by snowy patches and rivers. The perspective emphasizes the statue's sheer size, making it the dominant feature in the landscape.
A large, pyramid-shaped structure made entirely of melon blocks, located on the 2b2t Minecraft server. This pyramid is a tribute to the Melon Men, a non-toxic player group on the server. It was built by a player named BeAware. The pyramid is surrounded by ocean, with a jungle island visible in the background.

After 9 hours of travel, I have finally made it to the overworld world border on 2b2t!

Here's a couple of screenshots.

The first 2 are inside of the nether portal room and the last 2 are in the overworld of all the obsidian names and destruction around.

I will post a few more pictures in this thread.

A screenshot from the 2b2t Minecraft server, specifically depicting the Nether Portal Room located at the Overworld World Border. The room features a massive central purple Nether portal structure, surrounded by obsidian flooring and purple-patterned walls. There are decorative elements, including cherry blossom trees crafted from pink blocks on the right side, adding a surreal aesthetic to the otherwise dark environment. Several highlighted entities, likely Zombie Piglins, can be seen wandering near the portal, marked by colorful outlines.
A small wooden hut situated inside the massive portal box within the Nether Portal Room at the Overworld World Border on the 2b2t Minecraft server. The hut is constructed from various wood types, with a roof made of wooden planks and walls featuring trapdoors and decorative elements. It sits on obsidian flooring surrounded by large purple portals that make up the interior of the room. Zombie Piglins are visible, marked by colorful outlines, indicating the presence of mobs inside the portal structure. Additionally, there are Ender chests and banners nearby, enhancing the hut's setup.
A section of the Overworld World Border on the 2b2t Minecraft server. The towering wall features numerous names and logos crafted in obsidian, signifying various players and groups that have left their mark at the world border. Among the prominent designs are large, colorful inscriptions like "Infinius," "STOPDEAD93," "GEEZE," and "REPCITY." The names and logos are scattered across a massive vertical surface, interwoven with other structures such as Nether portals, ladders, and scaffolding. The setting is during sunset, with the sky appearing dark red and orange.
Significant destruction near the Overworld World Border on the 2b2t Minecraft server. Large portions of the terrain are missing, revealing scattered remnants of stone blocks and floating debris. An enormous wall of obsidian extends horizontally across the landscape, separating a body of water and a small patch of sandy area below. To the right, a snow-covered mountain is visible with its top partially blown off. Vertical columns of slime block contraptions or scaffolding are also present, hinting at past attempts to breach or manipulate the border. The scene is set at night, with the moon shining brightly in the sky.
