The problem is there isn't much of an advantage when the boat is over water, which travels at normal speed.

I haven't tested it but I imagine if you have the ice roads one level below sea, the water will just flow onto the ice an you can easily transfer between ice and sea, so you could easily make parts where boats can cross the roads and transfer.

I think it should be slightly higher than water level, so boats and mobs can pass underneath it.

The wider the better, I was imagining you could start with something like 4 blocks but expand it to ~10 if you have enough ice and time.

Part of the idea was to have them not just for transportation (Nether/elytra is already very fast) but also with the possibility to turn them into racing segments, and for decoration, so my idea was they would have some curvatures though less than regular cobble roads. But that could vary from place to place.

transferring is not a big deal using simple soulsand elevators (see the original ice boat track at 2020 new years, northeast of Leikigo). In fact change of elevation isn't too big of a deal. Change of direction is more of a problem, I recommend making tracks as straight as possible.

I'm interested in this though. Sounds like fun.

Should it be at least four blocks wide?

Are people interested in building ice boat roads in the overworld?
They could be used for travel and turned into boat racing segments occationally.

If so, how should they be standardized?
Elevated, e.g. y = 80, would take a lot of construction materials and more time to build but less time for mining, and might look nice if designed properly, but could also be eyesores
Near water level e.g. one block below water, would make cuts into the terrain in a lot of places but could be covered, and could allow easily transferring from the ice road to sea.
Tunnels e.g. y = 40, would take a lot of time digging out the tunnels but spare us from looking at them

Right now I'm thinking it could be interesting to have ice roads near the water level

Discuss
