OpenWilds is a Minecraft server that is all about exploring and going on adventures for a long time. It is not just another boring survival world. The whole server is built around discovering new places and slowly getting stronger as you play.
Every player gets access to a special exploration world. In that world you can explore in peace without worrying about griefing but you still stay connected to the main server. While you explore you can find different biomes structures and secret areas.
When you discover new things you earn rewards points and unlocks. There are custom quests dungeons and events. New content gets added every week. Some things are temporary and some secrets are hidden so you have reasons to keep coming back and keep looking around.
There are daily rewards weekly challenges and leaderboards so you can see how you compare to other players. The server runs on Java Edition 1.21.x. If you like finding secrets and want a survival world that actually feels meaningful this server fits really well.
They just opened to the public and are looking for more explorers to join and help fill the world.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWaychest SMP – Alone Together PvE World

Waychest is a survival server that feels like a big shared world but also a private realm. When you join you start your own Journey with a random spawn like it is your own server. You can do this alone or with friends.
The cool part is that every Journey is still in the same huge survival world. As you explore you start to find special chests and builds from other players. Stuff in the world slowly shows you that you are not actually alone.
The server runs Java 1.21.11 and keeps the game close to vanilla. Most of the extra features are custom made just for this place. There are special Waychests that connect Journeys and reward people who go out and find them. Later you can craft your own Waychests to guide future players to your base.
There is also a flying minigame that uses elytra where you try to fly through rings in the world and it leads you to someone else’s Waychest. There are discovery based warp points too but you have to find them out in the wild before you can use them.
From what I can see this server is all about PvE exploration and building in a calm survival world. You get that quiet solo feeling at the start but the world slowly proves that other players are out there with you.
