Guide
How to contribute to the Nether Transport Network
From Dogcraft Wiki
This guide on how to use the Nether Transport Network will show you how you can connect your base to the nether highways of the Survival 4 worlds of the Dogcraft Server (Husky and Beagle).
Overview
On both Husky and Beagle, in all 4 directions, lines reach out to a total of 30,000 overworld blocks, with hubs placed at 15,000 and 30,000 overworld blocks. These are connected in 2 "rings" to complete the network.
NTN Tunnel Design
The 1.16 NTN includes a fresh design from previous instalments. Stone bricks are out, and nether blocks are in! You can see the design in the image shown below.
Stops
In 1.16, any containers including chests, trapchests, shulkerboxes, barrels or enderchests will cause piglins to become hostile. For this reason, no containers will be placed throughout the NTN. To combat this, boat dispensers will be used at stops. As shown in the example below of a Main Station stop, a button is pressed to dispense a boat to the player.
Official SRN Stops
Official SRN Stops will be recognised by their cactus stop, and colors as shown in the image.
- North - Light Blue
- South - Yellow
- East - Green
- West - Red
City Stops
City stops are recognised cities on the Dogcraft Server. These will include a cactus stop, and a purple color scheme. These must be approved by an NTN Officer before being constructed.
Attraction Stops
Attraction stops are recognised attractions on the Dogcraft Server. These will include a cactus stop, and a white color scheme. These must be approved by an NTN Officer before being constructed. Examples of these could include unofficial malls, and the Stone Exchange.
Player Stops
Player stops can be built by anyone. These can be used to connect your base to the NTN.
- Doors must be no larger than 3x3 without prior permission from an NTN Officer.
- Players must not remove the Red Nether Brick Slab.
- Boat dispensers and collectors should be added to encourage players to keep boats off the track.
- Any chests, trapped chests, shulkerboxes, enderchests or barrels must not be near the track and could be removed.
- Tunnel designs must also be spawn proof near the track.
Some examples of door designs can be shown below.
If we determine your side-door isn't meeting the requirements, we will contact you and help you improve it. Notification of new side-doors is encouraged, as are any questions you would like to ask. Please contact an NTN Officer via Discord or in-game. If the section of a tunnel you wish to build in is claimed, please contact the claim owner.
