He has helped to lead a variety of groups, bases, and projects, such as the Block Gamers, Guardsmen, Endhaven, and Tenth Incursion. He has contributed to many other bases, such as Five Isles, Block Game Mecca, and Whitehaven.
History
Early History
Joey_Coconut joined 2b2t on June 12, 2015, and played as a lurker with common periods of inactivity. He traveled to the Noob Ranch and Melon Road, and later built several small bases in spawn before going inactive. In late 2016, Joey_Coconut returned from a period of inactivity, became leader of a group of new players, and set up his first group project - a continuation of Tugboat Base. While operating his sanctuary at the location of Tugboat Base, Joey_Coconut met many players coming and going from spawn, including Slappnbadkids, who soon invited him to base at Invictus II. Joey_Coconut based at Invictus II from early October 2016 to late November, when it was griefed by NedaT. Joey followed the rest of group to the short-lived bases Obliviscaris, and 2b2t Creative Mode Project.
Block Game Mecca
Joey became a member of Block Game Mecca upon its foundation, although he did not arrive there until being BedTP's there on 20 April, 2017. Throughout his time at Block Game Mecca, Joey built his Brick Biome, CocoCastle, a village, and a replica tugboat from Tugboat Base. On 6 November, 2017, Joey_Coconut created the Shortbus Caliphate along with Slappnbadkids and _m_o_t_h_r_a_ at the base. For Christmas 2017, Joey_Coconut built a noteblock Music machine rendition of "Oh Christmas Tree" underneath the base's Christmas Tree. It was also one of the earliest music machines built on the server. After duping over 6 million bricks during the 1.12 Stacking Duplication, Joey built his brick biome at BGM. He also helped to dig for the base’s Industrial District, which housed many autofarms and carpet dupers whose contents were later stolen for Mapopoly.
Immediately following the fall of Mecca, Joey_Coconut started and became heavily involved in the BoeMeccan Witch Trials against Beardler, along with YellowstoneJoe and _m_o_t_h_r_a_.<ref>History of BGM by Slappnbadkids</ref><ref>BoeMeccan Witch Trials reddit post</ref> Joey quit 2b2t for a short period of time before returning to Block Game Jerusalem to begin building his area. During various lulls in activity there, Joey based at Rhodes joined the Astral Order, and participated in the Sixth Incursion and Seventh Incursion.
Democratic Republic of 2b2t
Template:Main In September 2018, Joey_Coconut joined the Democratic Republic of 2b2t, and took over the group, which was initially set up in such a way that allowed anyone joining its Discord server to vote on its activities, although in actuality, it served as little more than another server to advertise theGambino's (the founder) shop. The result of the takeover was Joey_Coconut becoming "President of 2b2t" and leader of the group, although it had no actual presence on 2b2t itself. The group disintegrated after Gambino gave ownership of the server to WomenAreObjects, who nuked the server and allegedly doxxed Gambino.
Joey grew bored with 2b2t and stopped actively playing on the server itself from the foundation of Block Game Jerusalem to May 2020. In the interim, he moved to Constantiam for a short time.
Hopen
Template:Main In mid-May, 2020, Joey_Coconut started to play actively on 2b2t, with the foundation of the JIDF being his first action. He founded a number of spawnbases for the group, through which he met FamilyPumpkin6, who subsequently invited him to Hopen. Joey_Coconut became a member of Hopen on June 21, 2020. Upon arriving at the base, Joey_Coconut began to build. He built his mine and brick town while there, started a large underground complex, and took part in the trial of DarkXL6. The base was later griefed by 0x22 on the morning of the 7th of August, 2020, leaving Joey's town mostly incomplete. He subsequently brought the majority of the members to Block Game Jerusalem.<ref>Hopen reddit post</ref>
Crimson Star & Shortbus Caliphate
Joey_Coconut was invited to base at The Cum Zone by y_a_t_a. Taking a liking to the group, Joey_Coconut became a member of Crimson, and moved with them to Cum Zone II, where Joey_Coconut laid the foundation for the so-called 'Acacia District' there that later became a staple of most other Crimson and Shortbus Caliphate Bases. The original Acacia District was heavily inspired by Vertrix's town at Block Game Jerusalem. Following the disbandment of Crimson, most of the members joined the Shortbus Caliphate, which had been recently revived out of the JIDF following the grief of its base, Fort Aqua. Joey_Coconut and most of the former Crimson members (then in a group called Stashcrew) founded Halicarnassus together shortly afterward. The base went inactive, however, when most of its inhabitants moved to Adamantium and eventually became members of Guardsmen.
Block Game Jerusalem
Following the griefs of Hopen and Fort Aqua, Joey consulted with the remaining Block Game Jerusalem members, and invited many of the builders from the aforementioned bases to Jerusalem, which he revived with Slappnbadkids' support. The base began to expand again, and following a leak to jared2013, the number of nonmembers who knew its location also increased. Joey continued to lead Block Game Jerusalem and the corresponding Block Gamers group, and constructed a wide variety of projects at BGJ, such as his feverdream village, Desert Tudor village (which itself was to experiment with builds to put at Whitehaven), and the Brick Biome 2.
Despite numerous leaks stemming from jared2013 (such as from Orsond and D_loaded), Joey kept the base going with sizable help from a variety of others shielding the base, mostly members of Nerds Inc and Team Pepsi. After BGJ (along with Whitehaven) was leaked to a number of people who were going to grief the base on the morning of June 16th 2021, Joey leaked the coordinates publicly, and invited the Spawnmasons to grief the base.
Guardsmen
Joey_Coconut became a guest in the Guardsmen Discord server in late 2020, and was inactive there until December, excepting visiting a Halloween base of the group. He co-led the construction of Adamantium with Orsond from December 2020 to January 2021 as an appeasement strategy after drama with Orsond that culminated in him secretly going to Block Game Jerusalem after having been leaked the coordinates by jared2013. Adamantium became a large base near spawn that was built as a cooperative effort between the Shortbus Caliphate and the Guardsmen. Joey spent over 100 hours building at the base in its less than 2 week lifespan, and was promoted into the leadership of the Guardsmen following the grief of Adamantium. He subsequently moved the Shortbus Caliphate's members into the group at the invitation of the Guardsmen's leadership, having decided to move away from the edginess of the SBC's ostensible theme. He remained in the Guardsmen's leadership until October 2021, having participated in nearly all subsequent Guardsmen bases. Following drama with Orsond that originally stemmed from the Imperator’s Base 2 grief and creation of Copenheimer, Joey exited the group with half a dozen others.
10th Incursion
Upon hearing that Mrbeast had joined 2b2t, Joey_Coconut moved quickly to form the Tenth Incursion. As a result of a general sense of panic, the group grew incredibly quickly. Following Mrbeast's exit from 2b2t shortly thereafter, Joey_Coconut formulated an entirely new plan with several members and revitalized the incursion with a new plan of placing enchanting tables in mass at nether spawn to make crystal PvP difficult. It was later found to also lag the server, which caused server staff to have to intervene several times over its several weeks.
Whitehaven & Five Isles
In January 2021, Krobar01 invited Joey to Whitehaven after seeing his builds at Adamantium, which were similarly to those at Whitehaven. Being the only member besides Krobar01 to be consistently active there, Joey became a co-leader of the base and concentrated on recruiting new members to the group. Through him, Banana_on_2b2t, _gigo, DocSmurf, and Lunch_Katsu were invited to the base. Joey focused on his castle for the majority of the base's existence, although he also built a town, and also a bridge infamous among the base members. Following the grief of Whitehaven, Krobar01 invited Joey_Coconut to Five Isles. Joey built there from September 2021 to December 2022, and built a wide variety of organic builds, although most were large mushrooms.<ref>Five Isles reddit post</ref> He also built a tree, an underwater skull, and alien spaceships dueling some of Krobar’s airships. He also continued to recruit new members for the bases. After the base was compromised, Joey and Krobar self-griefed the base on December 16, 2022.
Rat House
Following the twin griefs of Whitehaven and Block Game Jerusalem, Rathause and Joey_Coconut began running a project at Rathause's year-old spawnbase, the Rat House. Under their direction, and with assistance from Todarac and villicool112, the base grew to be the largest base ever on 2b2t at the time, in terms of member count (104), and one of the largest spawnbases on the server - at a distance of 30k from (0,0).
Spawnmasons
Joey_Coconut became a guest in the Spawnmasons Discord in July 2020, and then a member in October 2020. He built briefly at Chunk Haven and regularly attended meetings before taking a more active role in the group at Sky Masons. While there, he built his large nether island, lamp island, Agaricalysium, and helped in various other projects throughout the base, such as co-designing the bridges from the center island, and helping to design and build center island.<ref>Araricalysium reddit post</ref> He also spearheaded a project that saw nearly all base members have statues built of them, but as stylized ghasts. Following the base’s grief, Joey started the Spawn Migration, which originally served as a Spawnmason base (which saw the start of their so-called Fifth Degree), and later became moreso a community spawnbase which resulted in many otherwise unrelated builders being brought together similarly to Rat House. While there, he built his Walking_Library, Double King, and Yurtwagon.<ref>Double King reddit post</ref> Through the Spawnmasons, Joey also built at Corner Base. He later helped to set up the group's so-called Masonic Grants program.
Astral Brotherhood
Following the disbandment of most large groups on the server, Joey_Coconut and LordGalvatronMC co-founded the Astral Brotherhood on August 22, 2021. as As a result of continued conflicts between Orsond and Joey_Coconut, in addition to BSB griefs, and Log4j, the first few months of the group’s existence were filled with griefs, revenge griefs, and insiders. Despite this, Nautilus and Poppy Town were built. Following the losses of those two bases, Joey spearheaded a concerted recruitment effort in April 2021 that culminated in the construction of Obsidian Isle, New Lugdunum, and Helheim 2, among many other bases in that period. At Obsidian Isle, Joey built the Pride Fort.<ref>Obsidian isle reddit post</ref><ref>Pride Fort reddit post</ref> Joey_Coconut single-handedly designed most of Lidenbrock in the week after New Lugdunum’s grief, although Lidenbrock was also griefed in turn a month later after Steampunkjax leaked the base. After removing Steampunkjax from the group, Joey co-founded Dubrovnik. He continues to lead the group to present day, having built at nearly all of the group's bases since.
Involvement in the External Community
On 27 July, 2018, Joey_Coconut became an Administrator on a competing wiki headed by jared2013. After it went inactive, Joey_Coconut was brought onto the 2b2t wiki by Dark_Annihilator as an administrator, before going inactive. In April 2020, Joey_Coconut returned and planned with _Henry_, jared2013, and several others to remove the then-current administration and overhaul the wiki. After the community weighed in Proposed Changes to 2b2t Wiki Staff, the overhaul process began, and is still in progress. Joey_Coconut was later promoted to Bureaucrat on the wiki and currently holds that rank.
Following the deletion of a wiki article about Zltb (the owner of the 2b2t_uncensored subreddit) in December 2020, Joey_Coconut's staff position on r/2b22t uncensored was revoked. Joey_Coconut co-founded 2b2t_uncut subreddit with Orsond and nuked the uncensored subreddit three times in early January 2020 along with Orsond, jared2013, Chexhead, and Soiledcold. Joey_Coconut was later removed from the r/2b2t_uncut staff team after him and Orsond fell out with each other. The uncut subreddit was eventually given to Zltb.
Joey_Coconut also founded the Discord Archive in 2020 after the Media Archive was nuked by The_Grand_Lotus, and co-created the 2b2t Postjune Community with jared2013 and Sage_Mathias, and previously helped to run 2b2t Online as an Admin.
