- Getting Ready for Season 9
Hello and happy holidays everyone! The winter break is here, and that means that our biannual server reset is coming soon. Can you believe that we’re now on season 9, which is also our fourth anniversary! As always, that means many changes, updates, and improvements are coming to Highway 115, both on this website and our in-game integration plugin. We’ll post more about these exciting developments in the coming days.
It’s also been one year since this website launched! Regrettably, our previous hosting plan expired and therefore we’ve moved to a new host. Let me know on Discord (intellyspark) if there are any problems with our new website.
- New maps (yes, plural)!
Hello and I hope everyone is having a good weekend. It is almost two weeks since the server reset for Season 7 and lots of stuff has been built! So now seems like a great time to launch our season 7 Highway 115 map so people can find their way around. This season also features our community shopping district of Portabello, an island so large that you could get lost! Therefore, we’re also creating a brand new map for Portabello so you can find the businesses you’re looking for. Both maps are integrated into one directory, so you can browse/search through all locations at the same time. Check it out at Maps!
- Guides Updated
Welcome to the Highway 115 website anyone who was brought here by the link from the
/news
broadcast. This is the fully featured source of information for Highway 115 and we encourage you to check it out. As of tonight, all of the pre-existing guides have been updated for season 7. We’ve also added a new guide, in the form of Recommended Mods. There’ll be plenty more to come soon, but first, it’s off to integrate these guides into our Highway 115 plugin! - Welcome to Season 7 of Minecraft University!
Happy (belated) new year and new season everybody! Sorry about not updating this website in almost a year. Those of you who have arrived from Discord (which is all of you) probably know the reason. So far for season 7, I’ve been prioritizing the Highway 115 plugin. I still am, as there’s much work to be done. At this point, the site must be updated and upgraded to support more functionality for the plugin and in general. So you’ll see many edits and additions over the week as we launch into a new season for Highway 115!
- Nether Hub Design Contest
It’s been one week since the start of Season 6 and amazing progress has already been made on the server. We here at the Nether Consortium wish to begin the next step by launching the public Nether Hub Design Contest! We are asking for designers and builders to team up and submit proposals for the architecture of the most important building on the server. Please check out the Nether Hub Design Guidelines if you are interested in this once per season opportunity!
- Welcome to Season 6 of Minecraft University!
New update, new season! And there are also updates for the Highway 115 network! Big changes have occurred to both the Highway network layout and Highway tunnel designs. Please check them out before starting construction! Of course, there are more pages to update and create and they’ll be ready soon.
And of course, please help out and volunteer! Regrettably I will not be able to participate for a large portion of this season so external effort is necessary. As always, thank you very much for your work, and feel free to reach out to me (IntellySpark) at any time with questions or comments!
- Let’s Go Shopping
The Shops page is live! Go visit it to check out the almost 70+ products available over 7 different stores. Included is the location of each shop and the pricing information of what it sells so you can make an informed decision and find your way there!
- Highway 115 Destination Map Now Up!
The initial Highway 115 directory map is now available (Map), replacing the planned route network map (which can be found here). It only includes 8 points of interest, all within the 250 ring road bounded area, but it’s a great start! We already have all four major public towns present with more to come. Now it’s time to make the text/table based directory of locations. Remember, if you want your location featured, please Submit a Location!
- We Are Approaching Full Launch!
With the updating and addition of new guides, the Highway 115 Project website is getting built out. But more importantly, the location submission form has gone live! Now we can finally start updating the map with points of interest. But as you can guess, our full launch does not mean that the website is complete, far from it. Even after launching, there’s still more guides and resources to write and develop. But before that happens, we need to get a current map made and a volunteer call sent. Stay tuned for our full launch today or tomorrow!
- And We’re Live!
We are soft launching… now! Welcome to season 5 of Minecraft University and to the start of the Highway 115 Project website. We know that the site is pretty barebones right now and we’re working on getting it fully featured and informative. In the meantime, check out Map (may not work on mobile) to see the planned route network and read through Guides to get more information on the basic of Highway 115. The information already present should be enough to get the start of the Highway 115 project going on the server. We hope that you volunteer to help construct the most important project on the server and have fun on the 1.18.1 season of Minecraft University!
