This thread is here to coordinate and keep track of the Nether Highway Expansion !
Here’s the map of the project:

(It’s huge, I can’t post the picture directly here)
Here’s how to read it:
Full lines are the official highways.
Dashed(doted?) lines are the special exits that become official branches of the highways.
Big squares are official highway termini.
Small squares are special exit termini that become official stops.
Big circles are new highway stops.
Small circles are new highway stops on extensions of special exits becoming official branches.
HAS ALREADY BEEN BUILT :
[color=#FF8000]The Orange Highway is already built.[/color]
No more work is needed on the Orange Highway !
[color=#FF0000]The Red Highway’s secondary branch is built.[/color]
The Main Branch is not built yet !
[color=#0000FF]The Blue Highway has its main line built.[/color]
The secondary line is not built yet !
HAS YET TO BE BUILT :
All coordinates are overworld coordinates.

Then Southeast to a Strait Jungle/Normal Taiga Coordinates: x : 9965 / z : 6110
How to build the highways:
The Highways MUST have:
A floor made of ice. We have a giant Ice Farm in the east of Spawn, thanks to SimonOrJ !
A ceiling made of stone slabs.
Walls made of stone bricks and continuous netherbrick fences.
(Exceptions: The Guardian Farm has its own style. Please resume the normal style after its stop.)
The Highways must keep their same “y” level at all times.
They must be wide, it’s best to make them too wide than not wide enough.
They must curve smoothly, not turn at sharp angles.
The portals for Official Exits must be placed at y=98, ideally below the highway.
Stairs should lead from the side of the highway to the portal.
A sign should indicate what exit it is and which way the highway continues (“Everything else ===>”).
Banners on either side of the main line should indicate where the main highway continues, after each exit.
If the stop is at a player base, the sign must indicate the player’s name, or the name he has chosen for the area.
If the stop is unnamed, the builder may choose a name freely, provided its not dumb or offensive.
Resources for the highways can be given to you by mods, or by DClem, who is de facto in charge, it seems.
Resources are stored and can be donated at the “ShitShack”, the Highway builders Headquarters, located on the Red Highway.
If there is not enough resources to continue building, getting those resources becomes a priority !
If you built, planned, scouted, donated resources or really did anything to help, your name will be added to the “Highway Expansion Builder Memorial Wall” at the Shitshack, provided you told DClem about what you did !
If you want to help, please, inform the mods, or DClem, about it !
