Waychest is a Minecraft world that feels like lots of little worlds linked together. When you join you start your own Journey with your friends. It looks like you are alone on your own server but actually everyone is in the same huge survival world.
The server is PvE and semi vanilla. It uses the normal Java 1.21.11 client but has custom stuff built just for this place. The focus is on exploring and building and slowly finding out that other people have been here before you.
As you travel you find special chests called Waychests. They give rewards and also point you toward other Journeys and builds people left behind. Later you can make your own Waychests so new players can discover your base too.
There is a flying minigame where you craft an Elytra and then fly through rings in the world. If you do it right it leads you to a Waychest from another player. There are also warps you can use for fast travel but you have to discover each warp point first before you can use it.
Overall it feels like a mix of a public server and a private realm. You get space to play with just your group but you can still bump into other players or their stuff while exploring the same big world.
