Nether Hub (1.14)
The Nether Hub is the center point of the Nether, where the Four Major Ice Highways, shops, and directories are located.
Construction of the Nether Hub
Construction and ideas started very early on with snapshots 1.14 servers, set up initially by James76931 at the end of 2018.
Initial sketch concepts existed, trying to solve the issue the previous Nether hub had: It was hard to know where the centre was, hard to get to & from the main spawn, hard to find town locations, and wasn't big enough to sustain a directory of locations and paths once the server began to grow.
Built with central portals in mind to link to the 0,0 portal in the overworld, it was made mostly by Katuen, SierraStorms and ValeninT. With four colour-coded directions in the pole directions to help ease traffic and split the directories into smaller versions.
Later revisions were made by Sierra, adding hallways to each path, with more space for directories, and utilities, as well as the shopping mall areas, which now span between each path.
Nether Hub Main Ice Highways/Paths
There are 4 paths that lead off from the Nether hub, Red Zone, Blue Zone, Green Zone, and Purple Zone. All of these zones has a corresponding directory for every zone, displaying the many locations at each zone and with "path blocks" giving direction on where the portal to the location is.
Each zone has its own four block wide ice highway (or Iceway) leading up to a portal which will take anyone near the world border, as well as the many locations in between. Towns, Farms, and personal bases can be found branching off the iceways.
Iceways were expanded to the world border by YourlocalPiebro and Katuen, and is now community maintained.
Nether Hub Mall
The Nether hub has 4 main shopping malls, each taking one corner of the hub. There are many stalls that can be rented out for one diamond a week. These spaces can be built on and used as player shops. The Nether Hub Mall sells a variety of items, from enchanting books to wooden shovels, mostly anything can be found in the player shops there.
Unofficial Expansions
There are free to use, extra stalls in certain locations to help those who cannot find room in the main nether mall, current two expansions are the yellow shopping area in green zone, and the blue shopping area on blue zone, both has direct connection to the main mall.
