How to join
Start at the eastern gate.
Stonegrove is a small Java Edition survival server. Access is invite-only; there is no public application queue and no paid entry.
Before you join
You need Java Edition and an invitation from a current member. The invitation includes the current server address and port; we do not publish a public address. Bedrock Edition is not supported.
Four steps
- Ask a member
Post an introduction on the community board or ask a player you already know. Invitations are personal and should not be forwarded.
- Install Java Edition
Use the current Stonegrove release listed on the status page. No mods are required. Performance and accessibility mods are allowed; cheats and automation are not.
- Add the server
Use the address and port from your invitation. If the whitelist has not updated yet, wait a few minutes and reconnect before contacting a steward.
- Meet the world
Read the spawn signs, choose a district, claim a small area, and introduce yourself on the board. Ask before building beside an existing project.
Your first day
- Keep your first base small and close to a public path.
- Use the shared storage labels and do not take from private chests.
- Check the world log for current projects and maintenance windows.
- Ask in English or Russian; both are normal here.
Common problems
A version mismatch, a stale whitelist, or a connection timeout is usually temporary. Restart the client, confirm the release on the status page, and try again. If it still fails, send your username, the time, and the error text through the contact page.
