Minecraft.net is the website for the popular Mojang game, Minecraft.
Assets server
The Minecraft assets server (assets.minecraft.net) hosts versions of Minecraft ranging from 1.8pre1 to 1.5.2. Due to the new launcher used within recent snapshots downloading everything from a different server, the assets server hasn't seen a new snapshot get uploaded to it since March 19, 2013. An archive can be downloaded below.

Notable Servers
This section covers notable Minecraft servers that may be at risk due to policy changes, legal pressure, or other factors.
- 2b2t (https://2b2t.org/[IA•Wcite•.today]) is the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft, running since December 2010. It contains over 80TB of world data and is currently at risk due to Mojang's technical and policy changes (such as Chat Reporting and EULA enforcement).
- World Data: Community projects have archived significant portions of the map, reaching milestones of 1 Million² blocks archived.[1]
- Archivable Content:
- Subreddits: r/2b2t contains years of community discussions, base coordinates, drama, and historical documentation.
- Chat Logs: Various community members run logging bots that have recorded nearly every public chat message for years. These text-based logs are relatively easy to archive.
- Wikis: 2b2t Wiki and other community wikis document server history, factions, bases, and notable players.
- Status: Server is online but future is uncertain. Cultural dispersion following a shutdown would make retroactive archiving nearly impossible.
