Hackers spent years working patiently until launching a "murderous rampage" on a Minecraft server
Rich Stanton for PCGamer:
[Minecraft server] 2B2T is an example of Minecraft's enormously wide appeal and its ability to turn players into creators: it is a place with a real history, which is written on and defines the landscape. The community around 2B2T and the way it has developed over the years is why it was featured in the 2019 exhibition Videogames: Design / Play / Disrupt at London's V&A Museum.
...
This story begins even before that. In 2018 a bunch of ne'er do wells found an exploit in a piece of Minecraft server software
...
the hackers' knowledge of the game world became ever-more complete and the temptations were simply irresistible. Countless bases were destroyed, endless valuables looted, and the community descending into full-blown panic to the extent many refused to log in.
Members of the 2B2T community had noticed something funny going on over the years building up to this, but the group behind NoCom had also organised a disinformation campaign across forums....
As NoCom's momentum built and its presence on the server became impossible to hide, the crew behind it knew that the end was nigh. It went on a murderous rampage over June and July

It simultaneously feels like an old-school HL2 mod but also something more. Absolutely grimy setting, thick with decay.
This video about modeling North Korea in Minecraft has some good OSINT-style tips (starting at 2:20). https://t.co/7Cy41pVveN

"A new Minecraft server allows players in the blocky universe to compete against one another to find hidden treasure and receive a bitcoin reward"
Coindesk:
Known as SatoshiQuest, the challenge is to find the hidden loot within "vast Minecraft landscapes." Users pay $1 in bitcoin for an in-game life. Entry fees are collected and most will go towards a specific treasure wallet address, which is awarded to the player who finds the loot first.
In order to participate, users set up their own in-game wallet they can use to pay for lives and receive their winnings.

We attended a panel on the history of Jason Statham in video games.

Facebook has colonized our thinking in weird and unexpected ways.

"How a Dorm Room Minecraft Scam Brought Down the Internet"
Wired:
As Peterson and Klein explored the Minecraft economy, interviewing server hosts and reviewing financial records, they came to realize how amazingly financially successful a well-run, popular Minecraft server could be. “I went into my boss’s office and said, ‘Am I crazy? It looks like people are making a ton of money,’” he recalls. “These people at the peak of summer were making $100,000 a month.”
The huge income from successful servers had also spawned a mini cottage industry of launching DDoS attacks on competitors’ servers, in an attempt to woo away players frustrated at a slow connection.
...
“Mirai was originally developed to help them corner the Minecraft market, but then they realized what a powerful tool they built,” Walton says. “Then it just became a challenge for them to make it as large as possible.”

"2b2t, a malevolent form of Minecraft, is full of such ruins: It’s a place of beauty and terror"
The Minecraft anarchy server:
To traverse 2b2t is to feel lost and overwhelmed, and to play is to accept this pain and confusion as a condition of existence. The ordeal begins even before you enter: The queue to join the server is over 1,000 players long. A very slow-moving countdown appears on screen; when it reaches zero, you’re allowed in.
It took me three tries and over four hours to join 2b2t. It was worth the wait. I spawned before an abyss—I was standing looking at a heady drop into sea and stone and lava. After I overcame my virtual vertigo, I edged my way up a gigantic craggy mountain.
Hidden across the landscape are some especially cruel traps: fake sanctuaries that explode in flames, pits that drop you into a river of lava and false floors that open into prisons built from obsidian, with no way to dig out. (Players entombed there have no choice but to log out and sit through the queue all over again.)

Brutalist architecture in Minecraft
"Hosted by BlockWorks, in partnership with the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Brutalist Build was an educational initiative set up to engage a younger audience with architecture. A Minecraft mulitplayer server was opened for 1 week, and players were encouraged to log in and build their own brutalist-inspired Minecraft builds on plots."

Gabe Krahulik's account of trying to discover who was bombing his son's Minecraft creations
PA:
My son Gabe has a Minecraft Realm that he and his friends play on. It’s a service that Mojang offers allowing you to rent a private server. You need to specifically invite people to the server otherwise there is no way for them to join. As a Dad, I like this much better than having him out there playing on public servers. It’s not full weirdos who might be preying on kids, but it is full of 9 year olds and that presents its own problems.
These kids spend a lot of time on their Minecraft projects. I’ve been on there and seen massive statues, elaborate games and machines, sprawling castles and even a five-story hotel. On more than one occasion I have had my son come to me in tears because something on the realm was destroyed. In spite of the posted rules explaining that no dynamite is allowed it seems there was some mad bomber wreaking havoc. Unfortunately up until recently Minecraft Realms had no log of player activities. I had no way of determining who the vandal was beyond calling all the parents. Which is what we did.
My wife and I would reach out to all the various folks whose kids were on the Realm and ask if it was their special little angel who was blowing shit up. Now as the father of a 9 year old myself I can tell you that they are liars. So when you ask them if they did something they will just say “no” and in this case I really had no evidence so without someone taking responsibility I couldn’t do anything. That is until a recent update added a log that showed when players logged on and off. It wasn’t much but it was something.
The most recent attack took place a few weeks ago. This time a series of skyscraper sized statues was blown to pieces. The extent of the destruction lead my to believe dynamite was the culprit. The bomber had struck again. My son began restoring the Realm based on previous save files automatically created at regular intervals. We went back hours and then a full day before finally the statues appeared before us once again. Now we had a time frame for the crime but we still had no suspects.
My wife opened up the activity log and began cross-referencing the log in times of the various children with the what we believed was the time of the attack. A few names matched up as being online during that window but we still needed to narrow it down. I went back to the crime scene hoping it would give up a few more clues. These statues were actually massive recreations of specific player’s avatars. These kids all had custom skins and they had recreated them with blocks acting as pixels. There were three names on our list of possible suspects and I was looking at the ruined statues of two of them. Unless I was to believe that one of them was smart enough to destroy his own creation in order to throw me off the trail, I knew who my bomber was. Unfortunately it was the one kid I really didn’t want it to be.
