About Groups

A group is a persistent community of players on GatherToCraft. Groups are where the actual playing happens: they have members with roles, a game server, scheduled sessions, and listings that recruit new players.

How you join a group

There are two ways in:

Apply to a listing: if the group accepts your application, you become a member.
Receive an invitation: a group owner or admin invites you by email; you accept, and you’re in.

There’s no open “join” button on a group. Groups choose their members. That’s what the application system is for.

What’s on a group page

Game server

The group’s server address, edition (Java or Bedrock), live online/offline status, player count, version, and MOTD. Members and pending invitees can see it.

Members

Everyone in the group with their role (Owner, Admin, or Member) and verified status.

Applications

Owner/admin only: every application to the group, ready to be accepted or denied.

Scheduled sessions

A timeline of planned game sessions, including recurring ones (daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly).

Listings

The group’s recent recruitment listings, with a link to see all of them.
