History of the Nether Highways | Purity Vanilla: Minecraft 1.18 Anarchy (No Hacks!)

Highways utilized by players to easily travel far distances are perhaps the most vital build in minecraft anarchy servers typically made of the strongest obtainable block obsidian these massive roads tend to stretch thousands of blocks or impurity vanilla’s case all the way to the end of the world but how

Do massive projects like this get accomplished in today’s video we’ll explore the various protagonists and antagonists in the story of purity vanilla’s nether highways because each one block traveled in the nether is eight blocks traveled in the overworld building highways in the nether allows for players to travel significantly faster than they would

Using the overworld highways due to this many original players built personal tunnels in the nether to get their bases the need for such tunnels however diminished on june 28th of 2019 when players star baron and tip top bop created a group called the pathfinder coalition better known as paco

With the goal of creating not just tunnels but highways for all players to use they dug out 3×3 tunnels heading each of the cardinal directions although the group did not tunnel very far relatively speaking only making it about 5 000 blocks in each direction paco also began

Work on a square shaped ring road connecting all four highways at 2.5 000 blocks out allowing players to travel between highways without venturing to the dangerous netherspawn about two months after its founding however paco would soon dissolve due to inactivity and the threat of hostile players with its members spreading out

To various other factions across purity it would take another three months for a new group to spring up and continue work on the highways in november of 2019 the player popcat formed a faction called the nether highway construction team or nhct which aimed to expand all the

Highways to 60 000 blocks out as well as make a ring road at 30 000 blocks out unfortunately the group fizzled out of existence before completing its goal but it did manage to stretch some of the highways to about thirty thousand it’s not exactly a surprise that both of the

Original nether highway building groups wore out before completing the project after all purity vanilla’s nether goes about 62.5 000 blocks out the equivalent of 500 000 blocks currently the world border in the overworld making highways out that far is a monumental task of course in anarchy that doesn’t mean it won’t happen

On march 3rd of 2020 star baron the founder of the now dissolved paco faction began a revival with the creation of paco 2. paco 2 aimed to take the nether highways further than ever the group dug out all the way to the world border finally bringing the highways as far as they

Could go however trouble lurked just around the corner star baron eventually became inactive and the highways were ravaged with griefers such as griefview.exe katamorta and eulogy soon because most of the highways were made with stone brick and cobblestone or just carved straight out from the netherrack tens of thousands of blocks along the

Highways were able to be quickly destroyed by using withers and tnt the highways were falling apart at the seams with the project on its last legs and some of the members giving up hope entirely it was time for new leadership that’s when it oh stepped in to fill star baron’s shoes

O.o organized paco to lower the highways in order to allow for easy elytra flight making travel much easier the group also began to line the roads with obsidian but the supply of this block was very limited making progress painstaking as progress began to slow again a well-known faction called the grey

Decided to lend a hand led by the player jamul the grey created a new faction called the spawn infrastructure project or sip jamul began inviting people to the sip and one of these players known as dika dikka turned out to be the key to finally completing the nether highways

Deca had built a massive afk obsidian farm by himself using obsidian sip could make the highways impenetrable to tnt and withers sip assembled four teams each with its own captain and divided by time zones to line the roads with obsidian this sip project which came to be one of

Many was known as obsidian roads or or or’s first stage was to cover all highways in obsidian up to ten thousand blocks out stage one began on january 16th of 2021 and within 12 hours the goal was accomplished oh the still active leader of pako 2

Presented the grey with this map art for their help with the highways before stage 2 could begin mining master a member of pako 2 and sip discovered a group of gunpowder farms owned by griefu.exe a prominent highway griefer mining master griefed the farms hoping to prevent any further highway griefs

Refu.exe none too happy about the grief threatened to obliterate the highways with withers and blamed all of sip for the grief due to sip’s rule against griefing and because sip thought that mining master had grieved in the name of the grey mining master was removed from sip on

January 31st the eastern highway was completely covered with obsidian the other highways quickly followed suit with the southern highway being finished on february 9th the western highway on february 14th and the northern highway on february 22nd each time a new highway was completed the group’s desire to keep going

Dwindled and eventually a few of the members were spending 22 combined hours over the weekend on building in addition some of the old highways had to be blasted away to make room for the obsidian but at long last all highways were protected from being easily grieved The final part of the cardinal highways was finished with stage six of sip’s plan in order to help players move around even faster jamul purchased large quantities of packed ice which could be used to line the highways so that boats could move along them at extremely high speeds

Sushon a member of the faction in vitica gave sip coordinates to station zebra an afk ice farm previously used by paco sip began placing ice on march 10th and all highways were lined with ice by march 24th unfortunately it didn’t take long for griefers such as arctic to get rid

Of the ice but the vast majority of the obsidian lined highways exist to this day finally the cardinal highways were completed all that remained were the diagonal highways in april of 2021 the player hancho dug a tunnel all the way until the southeastern world border hancho took a screenshot of his progress which

Prompted jamul to give him supplies to use exploding beds and cover the path with obsidian pancho and the player reggie reckless worked together on the highway with some help from sip until may the highway currently sits unfinished at around 25 000 blocks construction on the northwestern diagonal highway began on august 5th

Jamul helped to gather materials with the players burning wolf raghav mc and malty later on mining master was reintroduced to sip due to his continued hard work on the highways and road monuments mining master would go on to continue helping with the highways with sap at around 20

000 blocks out sip discovered that a player named jkv-002 had already dung out a tunnel and he too joined the group working together sip was able to complete this diagonal as of now the other two diagonals are not yet complete or flight ready it goes to show that a highway builder’s

Job is never done especially when there’s so many players willing to grief them for now it’s up to groups like the spawn infrastructure project to finish and maintain what they have started but here on purity vanilla you never know what could happen next [Applause] [Applause] You
