Melon Road
The Melon Road, also called the Melon Highway, was a small path that ran along the -X axis for roughly 12,500 blocks. The highway was unique in that it was made entirely out of melon stalks planted on a 2x2 path of farmland, with dirt blocks on either side for melons to grow on. It is essentially a road that players can travel on going hungry. It started roughly at X: -47 Y: 72 Z: -2,628 and exits off the -Z Axis Highway.
Originally, it encircled spawn in a square loop about 2000 blocks from 0,0, and was constructed in late 2015 and early 2016 by the Melon Disciples, starting at a spot next to 2k2k. For a long time it served as the easiest way for players at spawn to obtain food and it saved many from starvation. However, almost immediately after the Rusher Invasion began (and TheCampingRusher using a part of the melon highway east of 0,0 to obtain food), the melon highway was dismantled by Veterans in order to cut off the Rushers' food supply. Today, parts of the original melon highway are periodically replanted and removed by players.
