{{LocationInfobox|name=|image=Spawn highways.png|location_type=Infrastructure|location=|map=|coords=|population=|status=|established_date=|founder=|abandoned_date=|abandoned_cause= }}A '''Highway''' is player built infrastructure designed to facilitate long-distance travel. Highways can be as simple stone roads, though many highways are designed to maximise speed. Highways built from blue ice allow players in a boat to travel up to 72 blocks per second.

== Spawn Region ==
The majority of active highways are located within the [[Spawn Region]]. These highways serve to help players travel great distances at speed, and benefit new players in particular who may not have access to other forms of transport, such as elytra.

=== Northern Elevated Ice Highway ===
[[File:Northern ice highway.png|thumb|The Northern Elevated Ice Highway in May 2026.]]
The Northern Elevated Highway starts at X:0, Z: -2,000 and runs North up to X:0, Z:-13,000. A junction at Z: -12,000 allows travellers to continue west to reach [[Emuser012's Pit Stop]]. The Northern Ice Highway was created by [[Emuser012]] in July 2025, who collected over 300,000 blocks of packed ice to build the highway.

Several players have reported spawning on top of the Northern Elevated Ice Highway.

=== Northern Obsidian Highway ===
The Northern Obsidian Highway runs from [[Spawn Town]] at X: 0, Z:0 to X: 0, Z: -10,000. The highway was built by [[Thowan]], [[MissLea_]], [[KushBlazing]], [[ShyAlly]] and [[TheCosmicalKing]] in March 2026. An unfinished 1-block wide path of Obsidian continues north from Z: -10,000 beneath the full length of the Northern Elevated Ice Highway.

=== Northeastern Ice Highway ===
The Northeastern Ice Highway runs from Spawn Town to roughly X: 1,000, Z: -1,000 and was built by [[1x1stoney]] in July 2026, replacing a cobblestone highway that had been built by [[VampireSquid]]. The highway passes below the ruins of [[Dreamland Foundation|Dreamland Castle]] and terminates at a damaged [[Spawn Tower]] that once contained food and other resources for new players.

=== Eastern Elevated Ice Highway ===

The Eastern Elevated Ice Highway is one of the oldest highways on the server, being built by [[r2aye]] and [[vines420]] in April 2025. The highway runs 7,000 blocks east- ending at [[Bridgetown]], with the highway being from which the town takes its name. In the server's early history, the Eastern Elevated Ice Highway was one of the most important pieces of infrastructure- allowing new players to quickly travel out of the Spawn Region.

The Eastern Elevated Ice Highway originally ran from Bridgetown to Spawn, though a short section of the highway was removed at some point in either December 2025 or January 2026. The highway now begins at X: 500, Z: 0.

=== Eastern Obsidian Highway ===
The Eastern Obsidian Highway runs below the elevated ice highway from Spawn Town to Bridgetown. It was built by Thowan, MissLea_ and KushBlazing in January 2026.

=== Southeastern Ice Highway ===
The Southeastern Ice Highway was built by 1x1stoney in August 2025 and connects Spawn Town to [[Neto3005's Town]].

=== Southern Ice Highway and Elevated Ice Highway ===
A short highway runs South from Spawn to Z: 1,000. The elevated section of the highway was built by [[natonite]] in July 2025, with the surface ice highway being built shortly after by [[1x1stoney]].

=== Southwestern Bridge ===
The Southwestern Bridge is a short stone highway that runs over a frozen ocean near Spawn Town. It was built by VampireSquid in June 2025.

=== Western Ice Highway ===
The Western Ice Highway runs 2,000 blocks west from Spawn Town. The first section was built by r2aye in April 2025, with [[ArtemyTheVorakh]] and [[SquirrelMC]] both extending the highway at separate points later in 2025. Much of the highway uses existing ice from the frozen ocean it runs across.

=== Northwestern Ice Highway ===
The Northwestern Ice Highway connects Spawn Town with a Spawn Tower at X: -1,000, Z: -1,000. The highway was built by [[1x1stoney]] in July 2025.

=== The Melonway ===
The Melonway is an elevated 1-block wide path of melons built by ShyAlly in March 2026. Construction of the Melonway required over 20,000 melon blocks. While all highways risk deteriorating with time, the Melonway faces the unique challenge of being eaten by players. As such, large sections of the Melonway are either missing or have been replaced with other blocks, such as cobblestone and wood.

The Melonway runs north to south at X coordinates -500, -1,000, -1,500 and -2,000.

== Nether ==
Ice highways are located on the Nether roof running in all cardinal directions. The original North, South and West highways were built with Packed Ice by ArtemyTheVorakh in late June 2025, before being upgraded to Blue Ice and extended by Emuser012 in August 2025. The western ice highway was built by [[Pedro_molins]] and later extened by Emuser012.

The western highway is the furthest reaching, with [[Wild_Havoc]] extending the highway to 12,000 blocks west in October 2025.

=== Shyway ===
[[File:Shyway Sign wall Aug25.png|thumb|A visitor board at the start of the Shyway.]]
The Shyway is an ice highway that runs from the main End island to X: 100,000, Z: 0. The Shyway was built by ShyAlly in August 2025 using an automatic ice laying machine. In total, construction of the highway took roughly 15 hours and required the machine being rebuilt 3 times.

The Shyway has enabled new players to travel further in to The End to find elytra.
