Waychest is a mostly-vanilla survival Minecraft server that adds over a dozen custom items, blocks, and gameplay mechanics to Minecraft, all centered around exploration and building.

At its core, the server aims to create an experience built on one hypothetical: What would it be like if every Minecraft world was a part of one big world… where other people are out there, crafting their own journey, and our paths might cross?

Waychest is my answer to that hypothetical. Unlike any other Minecraft server, is a hybrid of a public multiplayer server and a private Realm. You will begin your Journey, solo or with friends, on what appears to be an empty server. But quickly, you will find that you are not alone.

The server adds various custom mechanics, blocks, and items to connect the world together, but it does not require any mods (though some are recommended). It runs on a modified version of Purpur. For technical players, more details are available on the Server Settings page.

Feature Highlights

Nearly all custom features are built, maintained, and tailored to this server by the owner. A few highlights are listed here; everything else is documented throughout this Wiki.

“Journey” System

Create multiple profiles on the server, each with its own spawn point, progress, unlockables, and group of friends playing with you.

Waychests

Find items that trigger a special adventure across the world, leading to a “Waychest” that another player placed. Then, build your own creations, place Waychests, and other players will be able to find them!

Discoverable Warps

Instantly warp between special blocks through a book-based user interface. To unlock a warp point, you have to find it first.

Region Protection

Protect your creations with a limited claims system integrated with Waychests. Secure valuables while still allowing explorers to see and traverse your builds.

Region Maps

Loot special maps that generate pre-explored with the surrounding region. Build a map wall without weaving through the world to fill it out!
