Gemgrove is a cozy, community‑oriented survival SMP built around a simple hook: collect powerful gems and forge your destiny. The server blends relaxed exploration and building with light progression tied to gem collection and cosmetics. Expect friendly players, seasonal events announced on the community channels, and a focus on play‑and‑build rather than competitive ladders.
