Waychest is a PvE semi vanilla SMP where it feels like you are starting alone but you are actually in one big shared survival world.
You begin in your own Journey with a random spawn point and you can bring friends. Each Journey has its own spawn and its own progress so it feels like a private Realm but it still connects to everyone else out there.
As you explore you start finding special Waychests and other custom stuff that points you toward places people have been. You can even craft and place your own Waychests later so future Journeys can discover your builds.
There is also a Waychest Flight minigame where you craft an Elytra then fly through rings and it leads you to a Waychest made by a stranger. Fast travel exists too but you have to discover a warp spot first to unlock it.
It runs on Java 1.21.11 and you can join with a vanilla client.
