Nether Highways

Early days:
The highway system started to be developed after The Great Fall of the Nether Roof.

The 0 0 platform was quickly made and axis highways have been digging. LegendAngel was known for being a main highway builder at that time. He was also rewarding players that improve the highways.

The 28th of June 2020, highways were blown up from 0 to 1k in each direction. However, they have been quickly rebuilt with obsidian.

Main builders:
Many people contributed to highways and it’s hard to keep track of everyone. It’s even harder when many highways are hidden for personal purpose. Moreover, some people dig highways whereas others are repairing. So be aware that this wiki can’t represent all the work that has been done by all the players.

Longest highway known:
With no highway at the arrival in the server (due to the nether roof fall), Frozentime_m quickly moved away from an axis building a starting base close to spawn. When trying to go further away, he started to build a sideway (z1042 sideway) in order to not be disturbed by other players while doing it. After some time, the highway was too close from the main one, so Frozentime_m decided to continue the sideway in another z coordinate (z26062 sideway). This was the first highway to reach 26k (compared to public highways).

This highway is currently the longest known highway (and always has been since 26k) and is going to 125k blocks in the nether (1M block in the overworld).

First highway to reach world border:
This highway isn't at a particular axis. It start at 26769 119 26769 and goes to the east until 30m 26769.

This is a 1 by 2 tunnel but people are enouraged to use elytras and to dig on the ground to jump and fly.

History:
One of Oasis members projects was to build a highway to world border, but they never found the motivation and the people to start it. However, after finishing his spawn stuff, Frozentime_m decided to start his travel to the world border. Derven Omega already made it with elytras, so to do something new, Frozentime_m decided to start a highway. He asked Oasis members to join him in order to make the travel faster and to bring back activity in the group (due to Cloud betrail and tree war, lot of members started to become inactive). Amethyst, Fallen star and Google Serg reply to the call. Frozentime_m, as a leader in this project chose the direction (east) and the start of the highway, (right after the end of his previous highway). Some coordonate details have been chosen by Oasis members.

The digging part started the 12th january 2021. Amethyst help a lot digging at the start while others members were gathering supply. However after x=250k, Frozentime_m did all alone because he was more active and prepared way more ressources. Right before x=1m, server got a hardware upgrade. Due to his parallel project, Frozentime_m had to stop every months to update the Spawn map. So at 1/3 he did a break. However, when he used the highway to come back to his digging position, lot of chunks got reset (around 40%). Indeed, during the hardware upgrade, "useless chunks" have been deleted by Edok to reduce the size of the server map. So all had to be dug again. To this day, due to the underestimation of useless chunks, this highway between 300k-1m is compromised and some chunks in this area might have a reset again (basalt delta are definitively safe). A second break happened at 2/3. And finally the world border have been acheived the 14th April 2021.

Generaly speaking, the tunnel have been done by Frozentime_m and is considered to be his project and not Oasis project (due to the work ratio). But the support in the discord during each acheivement helped a lot to keep Frozentime_m motivated. The build of the highway was supposed to be secret but there have been some leaks.

For his 1 year birthday in this server, Frozentime_m decided to make this highway public.

Map of highways:
Concept tested by Frozentime_m. A mapart of highways was realized in order to keep track of improvement done by the community. A 12.5k map in order to keep a zoom for highways close to spawn and a 125k map for a full scale of known highways (world border not taken into account).
