What would it be like if every Minecraft world was a part of one big world?
What if other people are out there on their own journey, and our paths might cross?
Waychest is a custom-built Minecraft experience that extends vanilla survival mode with an emphasis on exploration and building. It is a hybrid of a public multiplayer server and a private Realm: a world where you (and friends) start your Journey on what appears to be a server all to yourself.
But as you explore, you will discover that you are not alone: custom items and blocks will guide you across the world to find what the people who came before you left behind. If you’re lucky, you might even run into your cohabitants in person.
Feature Highlights: (Nearly every non-vanilla mechanic was designed and built specifically for this server)
- ๐ “Journey” System: You and anyone you choose are placed into your own “server”, called a Journey, with a random spawn point in one shared survival world. You can even create multiple Journeys – each Journey has its own spawn point, progression through the game, and set of partners sharing the Journey.
- ๐ Waychests: Special chests that act as beacons, reaching across the world to guide Journeys to find each other, and rewarding everyone who seeks them out. Craft and place your own Waychests and guide the next Journey to your builds!
- ๐ “Waychest Flight” Minigame: Find ingredients to craft an Elytra that starts an in-world flying minigame. The minigame challenges you to pass through a series of rings, ultimately leading to a Waychest built by a stranger.
- ๐จ Discovery-based Warps: Fast travel between certain blocks – but you have to find a warp point to unlock it first.
- ๐ Integrated Region Protection: Waychests that you place create an expandable area of protection for certain blocks and containers.
- โ๏ธ “Radiance”: Skip the night without skipping the night. Since the world is shared, sleeping instead gives a “Radiance” effect that prevents nearby surface mob spawns for the rest of the night.
- ๐บ๏ธ Region Maps: Loot maps that generate pre-explored with the surrounding region. Build a map wall without the tedium!
- ๐ Custom Advancements: Every custom mechanic has an associated advancement. Learn how to progress even if you don’t like reading a Wiki.
- ๐ Trial Chambers: The world was generated in 1.20, but Trial Chambers and other 1.21 content have been added to existing chunks!
- ๐ธ No Monetization: There are no premium perks, donator tiers, or money accepted in any form.
