Infrastructure group
Highway Workers Union (HWU)
Open Highway Workers Union (HWU) on the Atlas →
Nether infrastructure group founded in September 2020. HWU succeeded much of IIS's work and uses automated building tools to pave, extend, clear, and signpost the eight principal Nether highways. The union's June 2025 FAQ distinguishes its Nether highway work from the ice highways, which it does not build or maintain as an organization. OffsetPanda701 announced his retirement from leadership on June 27, 2026; a July 4 announcement confirmed continued maintenance and new infrastructure projects under the new Politburo.
