Nether Highways

The four main Nether highways are the most frequently used roads by 9b6t players. They start at Nether 0 0 and extend in all four cardinal directions. They are named after the Minecraft coordinate system axis that they follow. The highways started being extended by Baritone bots in January 2020. Stormfront later took on maintenance of Y=120 highways and diagonal highways in June 2020. Stormfront stopped working on the highways and officially endorsed the Greater Good Gang (GGG) on July 23rd, 2020.

Maintenance
Around January 16th, 2020, the Nether Highways had been extended with obsidian roads until 5k with the help of Baritone bots. Venturello was working on extending the -Z Highway from 1x2 to 2x3 for easier use of elytras and donkeys until around 10k Nether/80k Overworld. Initially, the highways were built at Y=113. auburnhud2 was so furious when he saw this, that he started to build new highways at Y=120, like they should be.

The Great Nether Revival
On July 22nd, 2020, an influx of new players were on the server. auburnhud2 wanted to recruit some of them as highway slaves, and gave them pickaxes and echests. While the slaves were clearing out the Nether hub, other players such as Hokindo9000, CyberTF2, and dan_999 also joined in on the efforts. Afterwards, auburnhud2 created a Discord server called the "Greater Good Gang" to coordinate Nether highway building, repair, and other public works projects. GGG is currently the primary maintainer of all Nether Highways.

Ring Roads
Ring roads are square obsidian highways built around 00 at various significant coordinates. Currently the only ring roads are at 150 and 500, but GGG plans to build 1000, 2000, 2500, 5000, and 10000. Ring roads simplify travel between highways.
