Highway project
What is the Highway Project?
Glad you asked! The Highway Project is an initiative to create a Nether Highway to reach the North-West corner of the world border. The Highway Project was initiated in February of 2022 by gcaisawesome and is still ongoing. All information included on this page is as of the date of posting (3/10/22) and progress will be periodically updated here to document the process. The Highway uses alternating Blue Ice to maximize travel speed while minimizing the sheer amount of Ice needed. Ultimately the Highway will feature high speed travel with a scenic mineshaft aesthetic for an enjoyable & hellishly long commute.

Progress Reports
Thursday March 10, 2022 (3/10/22)
As of this report, the project has been ongoing for well over a month. Over 4 shulkers worth of Blue Ice have already been laid for the core highway. Currently the outer shell is being built to catch up with the progress of the core highway before it is extended further. Exact progress will be measured in future reports.
