Overworld
The Overworld is the main world on the server. It is a default vanilla Minecraft world generated in version 1.20.4 in December 2023.
This page describes only the differences between a vanilla Minecraft server’s overworld and Waychest’s overworld.
Coordinates
Coordinates visible through the F3 menu and mods are obfuscated uniquely for each Journey. They are
shifted such that the Journey’s spawn point is located at what appears to be (x=0, z=0)
.
This means that sharing coordinates between Journeys (and locating the true center of the world) are impossible until both parties find a shared reference point.
World Edges
The Overworld is a square with sides of length
At the edge of the world, there is no border. Instead, there is a 1-block thick obsidian wall covering the entire vertical border, and then infinite void. You are welcome to venture beyond the borders, but you won’t find much. Don’t fall in.
Strongholds and End Portals
Strongholds generate normally in the Overworld and can be located with eyes of ender. However, all end portals in
strongholds lead to Not the End. Not the End contains information and items necessary to reach the real End:
the only way is by
Center of the World
At the true center of the world (the point that is equidistant from all of the world’s edges, and the true (x=0, z=0)
point), there is a room that includes a portal to the real End.
Since coordinates are obfuscated, the center is most easily located with a Compass found in Not the End.
