Overview[edit]
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[edit]
