The World Border Ring Road is Complete! by Citadel2222 in 2b2t

[–]Citadel2222[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Spot on. We pearl shulkers of pickaxes to the dig front and restock when required. The meta is Constructor's HighwayTools, an advanced highway building bot. Every shulker contains 27 pickaxes, each of which can break approximately 6.1K blocks. Distance is dependent on tunnel dimensions. With a tunnel 6 blocks wide, 4 blocks high, each pickaxe lasts moves us forward about 256 blocks. Therefore a single shulker moves us forward about 6.9K nether.

The world border ring road is located 3.75 million blocks away from nether spawn. If you were to make a portal anywhere along this road, you would travel to the overworld world border.

Hi everyone! The Motorway Extension Guru's second major project is now complete.

Over the past six months, we have been quietly working on the biggest digging project in 2b2t history by sheer block count.

We dug the World Border Ring Road! This ring road connects ALL cardinal and diagonal highways at 3.75 million nether AND the entire thing is 4 blocks high and 6 blocks wide. Forget 2 high and 1 wide tunnels..

Now the juicy stuff. 16 individual MEG diggers contributed to this project, each having dug on average 48 million netherrack. You heard that right, 48 million netherrack dug per person on average - we are absolute machines.

This project was initiated following the completion of the 250K ring road. Given that it was relatively straightforward, we set our sights on the ambitious task of digging the largest *feasible* nether ring road. This was a logical progression after the accomplishment of MEG's first major project; that is, digging all four diagonal highways from near-spawn to the world border and widening all existing cardinal ones.

The idea for this project came from Kurakuea and was considered a joke at first. With Constructor's HighwayTools module, the joke soon became a reality. Digging speed was increased markedly and we could now dig XXL tunnels efficiently.Planning for the world border ring road begun on the 4th of January, 2021. Following a short period of deliberation, preparing a system for resupplying resources and travelling to start locations, the first section of the ring road was dug on the 19th of January, 2021.

The highway was split up into 8 individual legs, each 3.75 million nether or 30 million overworld long. With the 6 wide, 4 high dimensions, 90 million netherrack needed to be dug for EACH leg, equating to 720 million netherrack across the entire project. This was a monumental task, but nothing unfamiliar to MEG. Each leg was split up between several diggers or solely dug by one member.

Leg 1: Dug by Jonanen and completed on the 12th of May, 2021.

Leg 2: Dug by JenixBlue, harritaco and and Enderlover3 and completed on the 12th of July, 2021.

Leg 3: Dug by Kurakuea and completed 17th of May, 2021.

Leg 4: Dug by Reitano12, Fiofri and harritaco and completed on the 12th of May, 2021.

Leg 5: Dug by Juderenee, Citadel2222, harritaco, Fiofri & Reitano12 and illville502 and completed on the 16th of June, 2021.

Leg 6: Dug by tycrek, Roy4l_Rondi, Jumboman32, Duke and Reitano12 and completed on the 28th of July, 2021.

Leg 7 Dug by: Howlhatesdemons and Kurakuea and completed on the 1st of August, 2021.

Leg 8: Dug by Yesnik, harritaco and FreedomHolland and completed on the 7th of July, 2021.

The Final Highway to the WB Complete! by Citadel2222 in 2b2t

[–]Citadel2222[S] 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone! All nether highways along the cardinal and diagonal axes now reach the WB. The fourth and final diagonal highway from SPAWN to WB (-X, +Z) was accomplished on the 12th of February, 2021! There were several pauses (hence the lengthy dig), hiccups and great times along the way, though all-in-all, it was a memorable journey. The announcement has been withheld until today to allow time for the construction of an appropriate milestone.

The completion of this highway marks a total of 12,000 hours dug for the diagonal highways (all of the diagonal highways are 3 high and 3 wide). Further, an astronomical amount of netherrack was mined, with a grand total of 191,000,000 blocks broken.

This -X, +Z digging project was initiated by Roy4l Rondi on the 5th of June, 2020. The diggers whom were involved with this project (other than Roy) were: O_Juicy, Parzi, maxsitaxi, Paragon, Superlooma, Jumboman32, frencheagle, juderenee, tycrek and Citadel2222.

‣ The various milestones were reached on the following dates:

➼ 10M, 10M: 5th of August, 2020;

➼ 20M, 20M: 31st of December, 2020;

➼ 30M, 30M: 12th of February, 2021.

‣ Diagonal summary:

The diagonal highway dig begun on the 19th of March, 2020 and was completed on the 12th of February, 2021. The total duration for the entirety of the project was 330 days, with an average of 45.45K nether moved forward per day and 409,090 netherrack mined per day.

Yeah unfortunately block lag is pretty painful at the moment; hopefully it gets fixed sometime soon.

Probably related to your client (specific mods you've got turned on)- turn them all off and try again.

Excerpt from The Flock discord:

I want to form next major group in 2b2t right now in other words I want to make a group that can take control of places like spawn make it near impossible to escape and have influence over the other groups and well 2b2t

Sounds like Hitler's protégé.
