'''Zothique Nether Hub''' is the central Nether transit hub of the [[Zothique]] world, located at approximately '''29, 71, 7''' in the Nether (Overworld equivalent: '''~232, ?, 56'''). It serves as the origin point for the '''Nether Express''' boat-rail network, connecting over thirty settlements across Zothique via eight named lines.

== Overview ==

The hub was established in 2015 and expanded significantly through 2017 under the '''Cangrejos Trust''', a player-run infrastructure organisation. It features an '''Elytra Crossing''' at the entrance (marked "Do Not Modify"), a boat-based express network called the '''Nether Express''', and a lower-level rail station called the '''SOCA Hub'''. A '''Ravenkraft Embassy''' at approximately Nether 40–44, 80, 63 (OW ~320–352, ?, 504) served as the diplomatic presence within the hub district.

The hub also contains a '''Villager Library''', a '''Mob Museum''', a '''Ravenkraft Zoo''' (under construction by FrauNiedbau at time of archive), and a '''Wither Arena''' operated by theoubre.

== Transit Lines ==

=== Nether Express (boat system) ===

The Nether Express uses a boat-based canal system. Passengers take a boat and leave a boat at each stop. The rule: ''Keep White on the Right'' to return to Spawn.
