nosefish loves to explore by boat. After countless hours of sailing, he realized that he could make a large part of the map accessible from his Temple Of Supreme Fishiness by digging just a few short canals to connect major bodies of water. Players have since marked several interesting routes with buoys and plans to expand the network over time.
After finishing the Great Circle and Lothendal routes, as well as some branches, nosefish undertook an epic voyage to navigate their whole extent. Read his account of the journey here.
Notes:
Dear builders, when building roads or rails across water, make sure to leave spaces at least 3 blocks wide and 2 blocks high to allow boats to pass.
- In order to be able to successfully navigate these routes, your render distance should be set to at least 4. When making, make sure to place buoys every 64m or less.
- Blocking the boat routes or meddling with the buoys is grief. Should you find any kind of damage on your travels, please tell a mod or admin about it.

How to mark a Boat Route
Plan
- Thorough planning can save you a lot of work. Placing a few wool blocks seems like an easy task, but it's actually quite a difficult and slow process once you get to deep water.
- After choosing the start and end points, find a route that does not require many canals or even tunnels to be dug on the map.
- Connect to the existing network if possible.
- Avoid snow biomes if possible. Note that some frozen areas are no longer snow biomes because of Minecraft updates, and will not freeze again once you've cleared a canal through the ice. VoxelMap or JourneyMap (or any other minimap mods) can help a lot here.
- The more settlements or points of interest you can connect, the better.
- Choose a block and colour combination that is not in use. If it's just a short branch off the main route, use just one colour. Most branches are marked in white.
- Find a name for the route. Traditionally, they are named after well-known players who have some connection to them, but you can choose any name you like.
- Document your progress on this wiki page from the planning phase in order to avoid situations where two players use the same colour combination or build parallel routes.
Buoys
- A buoy consists of two blocks placed vertically of different blocks or colours with a torch on top, the lower block at water level. The most commonly used blocks are wool.
- If there is an obstacle on one or more sides so that it's dangerous to pass the buoy there, attach redstone torches to the impassable sides of the buoy.
- Buoys should be spaced so that the neighbouring ones can be seen with the render distance of 4 chunks. Do not place more or less than necessary to guide players.
- All buoys should be placed on the same side of the waterway. If you have to place one on the opposite side to mark an obstacle, invert the colour combination, e.g instead of orange-white on the left side place white-orange on the right side of the way.
- To place a buoy in deep water, there are four methods:
- Build a dirt tower from the seabed up to 1 block below the surface. Place the buoy on top and remove the tower with a diamond shovel starting at the top. A helm with respiration and/or aqua affinity enchantments helps greatly.
- Place a lily pad on the water and place one wool block under it, which will make the lily pad pop off. Place the second block and torch on top of the first wool block.
- Wear Frost Walker Boots and walk on ice, breaking ice where you want to place the buoy. Place the first wool where the broken ice was, and place the second block and torch on top of the first block. This method might be messy, however, so make sure not to clog up any boat routes with ice, but the ice should go away naturally.
- Simply use
/up 1to place a glass block. Please break it once you are done.
Canals/Tunnels
- Look at the map to see if there is a better way. Building a Canal or even a tunnel is much more work than placing buoys and will slow you down considerably.
- When digging canals or tunnels, try to alter the landscape as little as possible.
- Canals should be 5 to 6 blocks wide to allow two boats to pass each other. Very short canals may be narrower, but must be at least 3 blocks wide.
- Tunnels need the same width as canals, and a height of three blocks above water level to allow players to leave the boat without taking damage.
- Light up canals and tunnels with torches on both sides, at least every 5 blocks.
Dealing with Snow Biomes
- Go around if you can; it's incredibly tedious to break all the ice unless with the help of Efficiency pickaxes or /heatwave, and a lot of work to keep the water from freezing.
- Build a roof, leaving at least three blocks of air above water level. Use glass if possible to make it less intrusive.
- If there is open water on both sides of the canal, you can place two rows of blocks (snow is customary because it fits the environment) above the ice parallel to each other, from one end of the frozen area to the other, leaving a space 5 blocks wide between them. Remove the ice between and under the blocks. The water will not freeze again, because it can only freeze next to a solid block.
- Simply lighting it up will not work! High-intensity light does melt ice but does not keep it from forming as it used to in earlier Minecraft versions, so you'd have a canal with patches of ice forming and melting constantly - highly dangerous.
Equipment
When marking a boat route, you will need:
- A generous supply of blocks of your choice
- Many torches
- Redstone torches - amount depending on the route
- Dirt to noob tower to the water surface
- Lily Pads to facilitate placing buoys in deep water
- Logs - compact storage for wood to make workbenches, boats, signs, whatever you may need
- Shovel to clear underwater scaffolding and dig canals. Efficiency enchantment helps.
- Pickaxe for building tunnels, rarely for canals
- Shears to quickly remove misplaced wool blocks
- One bucket to fill your canals with water.
- Weapons and armour to deal with mobs. Try to get a helm with the respiration and/or aqua affinity enchantments. Remember that Knockback on swords is bad when fighting skeletons in the water!
Boat route data
Once you are complete with placing buoys, you can record the coordinates of your buoys with the help of the Macro / Keybind Mod. This will require /jumpto and technical skills, so it is best to leave it to players who know how to do this work. With this process, boat routes will be displayed on the server's Overviewer map.
History
- Beginning of August 2011: nosefish marks the route from HellFireForge to Samess Cove with white buoys.
- End of August 2011:
stromhurst approaches him with the request to connect Ocean City and the Temple Of Supreme Fishiness, which nosefish accepts. To match the colours of Ocean City, nosefish chooses green and white as the colours of the buoys. He later decides to try to extend the route all the way to Glenfiddich, which works out surprisingly well. HellFireForge and Samess Cove become branches. The idea of a larger network of routes forms. - 1 September 2011: Orange and white route completed. After staring at the map for an unhealthy amount of time, nosefish sets himself the task to make the green and white route into a full circle.
- 7 September 2011: Great Circle Route completed. Read and see what nosefish did next.
