[LVS] Border Tunnel Materials List

[LVS] Border Tunnel Materials List

Postby ABParadigm » Sun Feb 11, 2018 9:36 am

Hello, all! In the February 10th, 2018 LVS council meeting, the topic of border tunnel expansion was raised by Aravero, due to the impending 1.13 ocean content updates. Zedwick has stated there will be some level of expansion, likely in OVERWORLD factors of 1,000, depending on what the content holds and how it is generated. This means the border tunnels will not actually go to the current world border, and hence need expansion. My task was to calculate the block composition and amounts for the tunnels.

I have since created a list of each border tunnels' materials, and counted how many of each block each "segment" will take up.

If you do not know already, the border tunnels are created in segments. These segments include a 1 block panel, followed by a 4 block long panel. This means that each segment is 5 blocks long. This cost will include things like rails, packed ice, powered rails, and levers, as well as odd blocks like melon blocks, terracotta, wood, and sandstone. There are of course four border tunnels, each one with a different color and unique design, typically made with a lot of stairs.

Please note that in some border tunnels there are variations of ceilings, with every other being a certain block. In the case of the northern border tunnel, a panel of 4 long by two wide dark prismarine alternates with the same size of nether brick.

These materials have not been calculated to the total length required! The final multiplication will occur when we have discovered how far the borders will expand!

Color Coding:
Standard in each segment
Alternating every other
Alternating every so often (note, these are mostly rail values, and segment values do not apply)

Materials list per 5 block segment as follows:



NORTHERN TUNNEL (green)

Oak Stairs 52
Oak Slabs 14
Green Terracotta 36
Melon Blocks 2
Nether Brick Stairs 8

Rails (10) (*9)
Packed Ice (22) (30)
Powered Rails (0) (*1)
Sea Lanterns 2
Levers (0) (*1)
Dark Prismarine (8) (0)

EASTERN TUNNEL (orange)

Acacia Logs 2
Nether Brick 10
Acacia Slabs 14
Acacia Stairs 52
Jack o Lanterns 2

Orange Terracotta (24) (32)
Packed Ice 10
Nether Brick Slabs (0) (8)
Nether Brick Stairs 8
Rails (10) (*9)
Powered Rails (0) (*1)
Levers (0) (*1)


SOUTHERN TUNNEL (yellow)

Sandstone Slabs 46
Sandstone Stairs 52
Nether Brick 10
Chiselled Sandstone 2
Smooth Sandstone 8
Nether Brick Stairs 8
Redstone Lamps 2
Packed Ice 10

Rails (10) (*9)
Powered Rails (0) (*1)
Levers (2) (*3)



WESTERN TUNNEL (blue)

Stone 32
Stone Brick 10
Stone Brick Stairs 52
Chiselled Stone Brick 2
Stone Slabs 14
Sea Lanterns 2
Blue Terracotta 8

Rails (10) (*9)
Packed Ice 10
Powered Rails (0) (*1)
Levers (0) (*1)


Note: Powered Rails occur every 6 or 7 segments at 32 block intervals. The values consisting of railway materials typically will have a star (*) inside one of the parenthesis, but starred materials are not limited to railways.

Note: The numbers in parenthesis are the alternating amounts. In the case of every other, there may be a number with 0, which means the only occurrence of that block is in one segment for every two. This is why some numbers read as 0, yet are still included.
