🔮 GemCraft – Elemental Gem Progression Plugin

GemCraft is a fully-featured plugin that introduces a powerful gem-based progression system to your Minecraft server. Players can craft, upgrade, and fuse elemental gems to gain unique abilities, craft rare items, and dominate survival or RPG-style worlds with a fresh layer of strategy and magic.

⚙️ Features

🧱 Base Gem Crafting
Craft elemental gems using a simple 3x3 recipe:
8 base materials (like dyes, crystals, or shards) surrounding a unique core item.

🔹 Example: Craft a basic Ruby by surrounding Redstone with Red Dye.
