Wonders
Since 0.7.0 every world from 1 to 10 hides one wonder: a single great place, rarer than any structure (at most one in every 88 by 88 chunks) and meant to be seen from afar. They are listed with their world on the Structures page.
At the heart of every wonder stands a Reliquary, sealed, and beside it a vault chest holding the world's Cross Key. A cross key never opens its own world's reliquary: the key of World n opens the reliquary of World (n + 3) mod 10 + 1. Each wonder therefore sends you back to another world, and all ten reliquaries need all ten keys.
A reliquary cannot be broken. Used with the wrong key, or empty-handed, it stays shut and says which world's key it waits for. Used with the right key, it takes the key, gives its world's relic and remembers you: every player opens it once.
Using a relic adds one heart of health for good, and its world's gift (below). A relic already taken in stays in the hand. All ten together add 4 armour.
A reliquary opened by one member of a group gives its relic to every member standing within 24 blocks, straight into their inventory: one key found together serves the whole group.
The people of every world know where its wonder stands. One greeting in two, while its relic is still to be found, they say in which direction it lies and how far (not far at all, a good walk, a long way). The Journal keeps what they said: the world's card shows it on the cross key and the relic, and the Journal's map marks the wonder once you have been there.

A giant hollow tree, its crown hung with spore blooms, its roots fanning out over the ground. The reliquary lies in the hollow at its foot.
A crater of ember stone round a lava moat, four obsidian bridges to the dais, a molten core hanging in chains above it and basalt spires all around.
A vaulted hall under a stepped roof, gold keys on every wall, and a thousand keys hanging on chains from the vault inside.
A calm disc of cloudstone in a ring of twelve floating pillars crowned with lightning rods, a spiral of storm glass rising from the eye.
A great candle of white wax, drips running down it, its one flame still burning, in a ring of eight open arches on a floor of moss.
A spire hanging point down from a floating rock, its tip just above the dais, mirrored stairs spiralling round it.
A great bell of weathered copper on the sea floor, rimmed with gold, its clapper hanging over the reliquary, coral growing on it.
A tall clock tower with four faces, all their hands stopped at the same hour, a stepped roof with a bell, and the sand of time drifting round its foot.
A giant asleep on its back, half sunk in the ground and grown over with moss: closed eyes of pulse vein, its hands open on the ground, its feet to the sky. The way in is between two ribs, to its heart.
The Artisan's own desk at doll scale: four legs, a ladder of drawers, unfinished dolls in a row and a pot of brushes on top. The reliquary stands on the desk.
The vault chest also holds the world's vault loot, and rare chests are hidden round the dais.
