       If we need a much shorter connection from an elevated ice road
       to lower levels, we can use soul sand.

       I think we should take a break with constructing the ice roads
       and go back to discussing the design. I'm not very happy about
       how they look right now, though Idk how completed they are.
       The Nether is good for efficient transport, so in The Nether we
       can have simple, direct routes with ice boats and fast turns.
       It's also a giant complex cave so the view isn't that ruined by
       the infrastructure near the top.
       In The Overworld I think transport needs to be different and
       respect the terrain more, if it's built above ground. I think it
       would be a terrible eyesore to make straight ice boat skybridges
       all across the world. Those who are mostly interested in
       straight and narrow ice boat routes that are cheap to build and
       easy to follow, my suggestion is that we build them as
       underground tunnels.
       My idea for elevated ice boat routes are that they would be a
       bit like the step from road to horse road, but one step further.
       They are wider, for example 8 blocks, so you can still turn a
       bit around on them without crashing. Maybe the sides have solid
       blocks next to the ice so you brake a bit instead of crashing
       directly (very annoying on any curved/diagonal ice roads). If
       there are terrain features like a hill, the ice roads might
       curve around the hill, or along a coastline, but could also
       tunnel through if that route is more efficient. In general they
       would be more direct than horse roads but still with some
       curves.
       I think e.g. the sandstone blocks on the sides of the ice roads
       I've inspected match them well, but the ice roads would be more
       covered, also blocks next to and probably below the ice, and
       with periodic pylons so they don't look like they are weirdly
       floating.
