Roads, not bases.

mingailas founded the clan on 19 October 2024 under the name Moon. It was renamed inside a week, by which point CapyKing10, CaT_345, Volizray and xm4nn_ were already in the Nether and highway work had become the whole point.

The Highway Extension Group had just gone quiet, leaving 6b6t's main axes half-finished. THM picked them up and kept digging, over 100,000 blocks a day at peak. In March 2025 THM and The Watchmen agreed the five-wide standard, and the rest of the server followed.

The clan has changed hands twice and kept working through both. mingailas stepped down in August 2025; xm4nn_ moved up from co-owner and held it until March 2026, then promoted Ryazor. Under all three the axes kept moving outward, and on 8 May 2026 the last of them reached the border.

How it got built.

19 Oct 2024

Founded as Moon

mingailas started the clan with CapyKing10, CaT_345, Volizray and xm4nn_. The rename to The Highway Men came days later, once it was obvious where the work was.

Late 2024

100K blocks a day

Crews concentrated on the Nether axes and cleared six figures of blocks daily. THM became the de facto successor to the Highway Extension Group.

Mar 2025

Five wide becomes the rule

THM and The Watchmen negotiated a single width for all main Nether highways. It was unpopular for about a month, then it was just how highways are built.

21 Mar 2025

The 12-hour dupe

Ooranges posted a video of a TNT duplication exploit the clan had been keeping private. It was patched roughly twelve hours later, one of the shortest-lived public dupes on the server.

4 Aug 2025

mingailas steps down

The founder left the clan and the community after serious allegations. xm4nn_, until then co-owner and one of the first members, took over.

27 Jan 2026

Kitbot changes hands

Ooranges retired after building and running Kitbot since February 2025, and handed the bot and all of its code to Leon_170709.

30 Jan 2026

The Meteor add-on ships

Leon_170709 released THM's own Meteor Client add-on. It splits the job in two, digging five-wide tunnels or paving finished ones with obsidian, so crews can divide the work and restock less often.

2 Mar 2026

Cardinals paved to the border

Every cardinal highway, north, south, east and west, was paved in obsidian all the way out to the Overworld world border.

21 Mar 2026

Ryazor takes over

xm4nn_ retired for personal reasons and promoted Ryazor from co-owner to owner before leaving.

8 May 2026

The last tunnel: 3.75M

South-east, the final remaining tunnel, was dug out to 3.75 million blocks. Every world border and every world corner in the Overworld can now be reached on a Nether highway.

Ongoing

Sabotage, and repair

The Highway Sabotage Collective walls off multi-thousand block stretches for weeks at a time. Repair crews clear them and the highways stay open.

Network 8 axes · main and diagonal

The grid, as it stands.

Eight axes out of spawn — four cardinal, four diagonal — all paved to the Overworld border.

One grid square is three million blocks. The 3.75M marks are where the Overworld border falls in Nether coordinates, which is where every main axis ends.

Standard Adopted March 2025

Five blocks wide.

Negotiated with The Watchmen, then enforced on every main axis. Solid obsidian, odd width, no exceptions.

Six reasons it stuck:

Cost
Five blocks per unit length is cheaper than six, so the axes reach the border sooner.
Repairable
Harder to wall off than four wide, faster to clear than six when someone does.
Navigation
Wide enough to fly an elytra without clipping a wall, and for two players to pass on foot.
Tooling
Meteor's highway tools handle up to six wide, so five leaves headroom for everyone.
Alignment
Odd widths have a true centre block, which makes joining two crews' work trivial.
Consistency
One width across thousands of blocks. No renegotiating every time a crew changes.
Tooling Both written by members

We wrote our own.

Nobody hands out kits for a 3.75 million block dig. Two tools carry the repetitive half of the work, and both came from inside the clan.

Kitbot

Discord bot

Hands out kits, teleports members to the working end of a highway on demand, and tracks how far each axis has got.

THM Meteor add-on

Meteor Client add-on

Digs five-wide tunnels, or paves finished ones with obsidian. Keeping the two jobs separate lets a crew split the work and restock far less often.

The Watchmen

Disbanded 5 Apr 2026

beast_machine brought The Watchmen to 6b6t in early 2025 after years on 2b2t. They were the first clan THM signed with, and the pair settled the five-wide standard between them. After that they out-built every group on the server except THM itself.

They ran giveaways at a scale nobody has matched since. The clan closed on 5 April 2026; the highways they extended are still in use.
