Waychest
A Waychest is a player-owned block that reaches across the world to guide players on remote Journeys to visit, and provides loot and a warp point to everyone who finds it. Waychests also provide protection in the surrounding region so that the owner can show off their builds without worry that a visitor will harm them.
Waychests are the titular and central mechanic to the server. We highly encourage you to craft, place, and mark one “discoverable” no matter how skilled you are at building!
Discovery
The primary method of locating other players’ Waychests is through Waychest Flights. After obtaining the crafting ingredients for Waychest Wings, you can embark on a flight that will guide you to the nearest discoverable Waychest that someone placed.
Waychests come in two main varieties: 
yellow and
orange. Yellow Waychests mark builds created with
external tools and imported into the world with permission from the builder. Orange Waychests are player-owned,
and the surrounding builds were created in Survival mode on this server.
Each Waychest can be discovered once per Journey by interacting with it. Discovering a Waychest unlocks it as a permanent warp point. In addition, the Waychest drops loot upon discovery:
- 1 Rift Locator
- 1 Waychest Shard
- 3-4 randomized Vanilla treasures
- 300-500 XP
Obtaining
Craft 8 Mini Waychests into a full Waychest:
Usage
Interact with any placed Waychest to open the warp menu.
Placement
Waychests can be placed in the Overworld only.
At least 2 blocks must be free above a Waychest so that players can warp to it. Waychests cannot be placed adjacent to a normal chest.
Waychests must be placed 250 blocks apart from each other on both horizontal axes.
The first time you place a Waychest, you will be prompted to choose whether the Waychest is discoverable. A discoverable Waychest is included in the pool of potential Dream and Flight targets for players on other Journeys.
To break a Waychest you or someone on your Journey placed, sneak and break it. Waychests are always dropped as an item when they are broken. An unplaced Waychest is hidden from everyone’s warp menu until it is placed again.
Naming
Before you can use a Waychest, you have to give it a name. All players who discover the Waychest will see this name floating above the Waychest and in their warp menu.
You can always change your Waychest’s name later in the Waychest’s settings. The name will change for everyone who has discovered it.
Settings
Open the settings menu for a Waychest your Journey owns by clicking the blue pencil 
next to its name in
the warp menu.
Click the blue pencil within this settings menu to rename the Waychest. Hover over other settings in
this menu for an explanation of what the setting does.
Inventory
Sneak and right-click your own Waychest to open it. A Waychest’s inventory is only ever accessible to members of the Journey that placed it, even if protection is disabled for the Waychest.
Add Mini Waychests into your Waychest’s inventory to increase the radius of protection surrounding the Waychest.
Discovery Notifications
If you link your Discord account in the Waychest Discord, you will receive pings in a private channel whenever other Journeys discover your Waychests.
As soon as you place and name your first Waychest AND have a linked Discord account, the Discord bot will create a private text channel for your Journey. Then, the bot will send a message in that channel when someone discovers your Waychest. You can control how you want to be pinged (@here, @everyone, or no ping), or mute the channel to stop receiving notifications.
Discord notifications are sent every time your Waychest is discovered, regardless of whether you are logged on to the server. If you see the ping, log on and say hi!
Waychest Moderation
Discoverable Waychests are subject to review by the server administrator. If no members of the Journey which owns a Waychest log in to the server for 1 month, the Waychest may be set to “Not Discoverable” at the admin’s discretion. This means that other players will no longer dream about or fly to the Waychest.
Builds identified as “complete” are unlikely to be flagged. However, a Waychest that is placed at an incomplete build (or no build at all) may have its discoverability disabled. The intent is to prevent new Journeys from using consumable items to reach a build that was abandoned before it was completed.
Barring unusual circumstances, a moderated Waychest and the build accompanying it will not be removed from the world; only the Waychest’s discoverability will be disabled. If your Waychest is moderated, you will be notified when you return to the server. You are always welcome to resume building and re-enable discoverability on the Waychest.
