The Nether Railway was a community project constructed by the server admins during the Current Server world. They were the primary means of transportation on the server, and were the second iteration of a nether navigation system on the TNTable server.

The railway consisted of three phases of development. The first phase, constructed by David, Matt, and Michael, built two tunnels - the Red Line and Blue Line - to connect spawn to the main bases of regular players at that time. An extension to the railway, the Fortress Extension, was added as part of phase 2 to complete safe passage to the nearest nether fortress, and to merge the Red and Blue lines into one semi-autonomous circle. A separate tunnel - the Yellow Line - was constructed in phase 3 to link Benjamin to spawn. Both Phase 2 and Phase 3 were handled by Matt.

Background

The tunnels varied in completion and design at times, but in most cases were constructed out of a stone brick structure, iron barred walls, and a glass-patterned ceiling. The blue line also included stone brick wall supports and blue banners draped upon them. Initially, the blue line concluded outside the Warped Forest biome at Michael's Old 2021 Base, but was extended outward to travel to his mountain base.

The Yellow Line, which connected Benjamin's base to Spawn, began construction in October 2022. It features yellow lightning bolts down the main staircase section, in reference to Benjamin's Pikachu skin.

Trivia

  • This is the second time a nether tunnel system has been created, the first being the Nether Tunnels.
  • Coincidentally, the portal to the Mesa is directly above the site of the Relog & Recover.
