Changing how updates work..

In the past, server updates and changes have been posted on a nearly daily basis through our Discord server. This changes today however, as we are changing to a website post, encompassing any & all changes introduced to the server within the past few weeks.
A notification will be broadcasted in the Discord server whenever a new changelog/update has been posted, however expect only one or two posts per month.

We’ve gone whitelisted..

A permanent whitelist has been implemented on the Grotto SMP server.  This decision has been made to allow more dedication towards back-end and content-oriented server updates, as compared to previous efforts on player-base expansion and advertisement campaigns.  From this point forward, anyone who wishes to access the server must first join our Discord server.
