BoatIce

Introduction
BoatIce is a transportation method that uses long tracks of ice that you ride boats on. The highest recorded speed on these tracks was 104mph, which was reached on 22 August 2021 during testing.

Development
Development of the track began on 21 August 2021, with a line from Pental Town to Lepan Walt. An old unwanted cobblestone building was used as the station at Pental Town, but no station was built at Lepan Walt at first. On 22 August, construction of the junctions began to occur, along with testing on how fast you could go on the track. On that day it was also learned that certain methods of elevator were not available to be used on Bedrock, and a separate system was put in place to allow Bedrock users to traverse the track.

On the 23rd, the track was continued to Jackson Road, but no station was built, and a rough outline of the track to Wren Square was also built. After the 23rd, construction slowed to a halt as interest in the server fell to 0, but was regained in mid-September when PoisonTedster, one of the main builders on the server, caught COVID-19. He was forced to self-isolate for 10 days, resulting in a lot of progress being made on the server. This included finishing the extention to Wren Square and Sheldrick Bridge, building of Jackson Road and Lepan Walt station, and finishing of the Pental Town-Jackson Road lanes.

Track
The track is long strips of ice with turns and diagonal movements. The turns of the track are difficult to manoeuvre, as turning at 100mph is difficult. Soul sand is installed at corners to slow people down so they can make corners correctly without crashing into walls. The Pental Town-Jackson Road route is particularly difficult as the track is diagonal, which means that crashing into the wall stops your boat. Even worse, Beckrock players have reported serious glitches and lag when hitting walls, including teleporting above the entire track, being stopped and moved back to a specific point, and random lag spikes.

Junctions
As track was inspired by the British Motorway system, it brought in the junctions of the track. There are many types of junction, the largest at Pental Town, so large that a bridge had to be constructed so the nearby road wouldn't collide with it. The massive junction begins moving into two lanes on the original track, one to exit the line and enter a station, and the other to continue on the track. When continuing, the player is taken to a area where they have to go into a elevator. One works on Java but not Bedrock, and the other works on Bedrock but not Java. After moving up, the players can either move back onto the track, head in the opposite direction, go to Jackson Road or go to Sheldrick Bridge. Later junctions were much smaller, and simply involved the tracks coming together, and you choose a direction.

Stations
The system skips a few stations that the Monorail doesn't, because if it went to all the stations, it would deem the Monorail useless. It generally focuses on large areas for the stations, such as Itgate. A total list of stations are:


 * Pental Town
 * Jackson Road
 * Wren Square
 * Itgate
 * Genpal Park
 * Riverside
 * Sheldrick Bridge
 * Lepan Walt
