-X Diggers was a group founded by Metrez and Bramblery back in November 2017. Their goal was to gather players to help dig the -X Axis Nether Highway all the way to the Overworld World Border.

History

Foundation

After traveling to the end of the -X Axis Nether Highway and discovering that it ended at 800k with few changes recently, Metrez decided to start the -X diggers and made a (since-deleted) Reddit post about the project on November 6th, 2017. A public Discord was set up, which proved to be a mess. Bramblery offered to help Metrez as leader, and they created a private discord for players who traveled out to -850k checkpoint, which was the initial dig site. Once players reached this location, they would be invited to join the -X Diggers, and the private Discord.

The original reddit post by u/Metrez, although it was later deleted.

First Leg

The dig officially began on November 13th, a day earlier than previously scheduled due to some players arriving early and becoming restless. Monuments were meant to be built every 100k nether, and every 1 million overworld; a rule which was followed for the vast majority of checkpoints. By November 15th, the highway had reached 10 million overworld, and by the 25th, it had hit the halfway point. While much of the building was being left to just a few players, the project progressed steadily.

Drama

Over the course of the dig, a then-unknown player had been stealing materials and leaving traps designed to kill pigs which some of the group members used to travel the highway behind those actively digging in order to catch up and take part in highway extension. tr3b0r85 began recording himself digging, and although he was anyways killed back to his previous spawnpoint farther back on the hightway, he caught Leolight, and went to the other members with that information. Members of -X Diggers including IHackedWalmart, DeadlyDarkDragon, BLOCK567, among others, ambushed Leolight and forced him into a crystal trap at the 20 million monument. Eventually, due to the inability to keep an eye on it 24/7, Leolight escaped. He attempted to blackmail his way back in to the group, and when that was unsuccessful, he griefed every monument and rest stop on the highway that he could find from the 20 million milestone all the way back to spawn. MikeXXIV discovered this as he traveled out to join the -X Diggers. Leolight threatened to continue to grief all future builds along the highway as the diggers worked, which soured morale in the group and forced them to create a new plan of action. The crux of this plan was a general decision to pause digging at the 20 million mark and to repair all previous highway monuments.

Final Stretch

Upon repairing the highway monuments, digging continued for several more weeks until the diggers arrived at -3.74 million Nether. Metrez decided that all the diggers had to stop at -3.74 million and complete the final 10,000 blocks as a team. Not everyone could be online at the same time due to timezones, so Metrez made a straw poll for players to select the best time available to them, and it was determined that the final dig would be held on December 22nd, 2017. The -X Digger Team arrived at the -X world border later that day; they had managed to dig from -850k to -3.75 million nether in under two months. When the digging was complete, they constructed a Christmas themed world border checkpoint since they arrived two days before Christmas Eve. Metrez built a huge Christmas Tree with decorations and presents for each one of the diggers as a celebration of their efforts.

Metrez posted a post on r/2b2t with a lot of pictures taken during the dig.

-After hearing that no one has dug the -X highway in a while, Metrez decided to take action. Metrez posted a reddit post about his project 6th of November 2017. A day later he had recived messages from a lot of people who were interested in the project and were willing to help. Metrez and Bramblery created a public discord for people who were interested in helping could join. After succesfully setting up the public discord they also made a Private Discord were people who traveled out to -850k Nether could join. People who traveled out to -850k Nether were invited to the private discord and became apart of the -X Diggers Team. Although the highway was heavily filled with traps, bad infrastructure and so on, Metrez managed to get a few people to help maintain the highway until the then-current digsite, -850k. After succesfully performing this project he decided that he wanted to dig all the way to the world border. Metrez set a date of when the dig was going to start. He told people that the dig was going to start the 13th of November 2017 and people who wanted to come dig with him had to arrive at the checkpoit before the 13th. Some players who arrived at the checkpoint days before the official start of the dig became tired of waiting and started digging. At the 13th they had managed to dig a few 100k in the nether and the people at the checkpoint had to travel to the end to finally start digging themselves. The team decided they were going to make checkpoits every 100k blocks nether for people to write their names and see their progression.

+== History==
-At around 19 million blocks overworld, a known member of the -X team named tr3b0r85 got killed while AFK. tr3b0r85 decided to make a visit to his stash to get all the resources he needed, then maded someone load his pearl back to 19 million. At this point the highway was extended to 20 million blocks and tr3b0r85 traveled to 20 million and went AFK again. Before he went AFK he started recording a video of himself in thirdperson. Then, about 1 hour into the video, a member of the -X team popped up on the footage and killed the Then, tr3b0r85.  He got caught and said that he did it for the lol's and that he was planning to grief more monuments + that he had set traps everywhere already.

-The -X Team then decided to have a small pause at 20 million to fix all the monuments. After succesfully doing so, the digging continued. After digging for a few more weeks the diggers arrived at -3,74 million in Nether. Metrez decided that all the diggers had to stop at -374000 and do the final 10,000 blocks as a team. Because obviously not everyone could be online at the same time due to timezones, Metrez made a strawpoll and the final dig was decided to be held at December 22, 2017. The -X Digger Team arrived at the -X world border 22th of November 2017 and managed to dig from -850k all the way to 3,75 million nether in under two months. When the team arrived they decided that they were going to make a Christmas themed world border checkpoint since they arrived two days before Christmas Eve.
