Nether Highways

The four main nether highways are the most frequently used roads by 9b6t players. They start at nether spawn and extend in all four cardinal directions and are named after the axis of the Minecraft coordinate system they follow. Around January 16th, 2020, the Nether Highways have been extended with obsidian roads until 5k with the help of bots, rather than just going until around 200 blocks from 0 0. Venturello is working on extending the -Z Highway from 1x2 to 2x3 for easier use of elytras and donkeys until around 80k Overworld. Initially, the highways were built at Y=113. auburnhud2 was so frustrated by this, that he started to build new highways at Y=120, like they should be.

The Obsidian Highway was built by an unknown player (Baritone Bot). The 4x3 highway was extended from 800 blocks to 125 thousand blocks by members of Team Lead The Way. The 1x2 highway was extended from 125k to 1 million by Forallotheruses.

Stormfront Highway Construction
On June 20, 2020 construction began of the far superior y=120 highways by Stormfront, led by auburnhud2. The highways are 5 wide until 5k Nether, and then 3 wide afterwards. Stormfront also began work on the diagonal highways.

Diagonal Highways
Travel along the diagonal highways can be up to 41.4% faster than traveling on the regular highways. This is due to simple geometry. Arguably, travel along the diagonal highways can be even more efficient than 41.4%, because this assumes that you are flying at a constant speed the entire time, and only take uninterrupted straight-line paths.
