Server Settings
This page describes details about the server software and how it is configured. Its primary audience is technical players who want to determine whether a certain mechanic or build will work on the server.
If a relevant setting is omitted, assume it uses the default for Purpur. If any details you need are missing, contact an admin to confirm its configuration, or to request that a setting be changed. (Not all settings will be disclosed for security and gameplay protection purposes)
Scheduled Restart
The server restarts automatically at 6AM Pacific Time every day.

Custom Changes to Vanilla Mechanics
The following changes to Vanilla Minecraft may break things you want to build or do. Be careful if you rely on anything adjacent to a mechanic listed here.
Purpur/Paper Exploit Fixes
Paper changes a few technical mechanics which are deemed exploits. This occasionally breaks contraptions and is a source of dissent within the technical Minecraft community. A few patched exploits include:
- TNT/carpet/rail duplication
- Sand/gravel duplication
- Bedrock/End Portal breaking
The server is configured with default Paper settings for these exploits. Therefore, the listed exploits are all
patched on Waychest. TNT duplication and permanent block breaking are left disabled for coexistence purposes; these
exploits enable activities which are contrary to the long-term life of a shared Minecraft world. An alternative to sand
and gravel duplication exists at
For more information about Paper’s decision, see the Paper documentation. Disabling these exploits is not recommended or supported by the Paper team. Considering this along with the potential for damage to the world, they will not be re-enabled.
Maps
Map items have the following changes:
- They are not aligned to coordinates the same way they are in Vanilla. Since your coordinates are obfuscated, you will need to do some math to determine how the grid lines up with coordinates.
- Map IDs are randomized on creation.
Weather
Rain occurs roughly half as frequently as it does in Vanilla. This means that thunderstorms also occur about half as frequently.
