Zhki-a Ice Network
The Zhki-a Ice Network (ZIN) is a network of ice highways on the nether roof.
Etymology
Zhki-a [ʒkîʔa] is the Iskel word for ice.
Design
The ZIN is modeled after the Great Ice Bridges of Season 1, but updated for more efficient resource use and bidirectionality. The updated design uses one block of blue ice per two blocks of travel and has a 3-block width to allow boats to travel in opposite directions along the opposite edges. Atop each blue ice block will be a carpet that marks the color of the line and prevents mob spawning.
Lines must travel in purely X or Z directions, never diagonally, and only making a maximum of one turn between stops if necessary. Stops are required to be constructed through offsetting the line to the left or right by its full width. Intersections must also follow this structure but for each of the four directions that they meet. Intersections with more than four directions may offset the fifth and greater directions by more than one full line width.
Multiple lines cannot be on the same Y-level. Each new line created must leave 2 blocks of room between its lowest block and the previous line's highest block.
Lines
Zhki-a Line
The only line currently in planning, which connects all of Suqi's public territories. No other players are permitted to make direct connections to the Zhki-a line, but can create other lines of their own. The Zhki-a Line is placed directly on the nether roof, and extends upward 2 blocks.
