==Minecraft Servers==
===X Life SMP===
May 23, 2020 — March 2, 2021
X Life was a modified SMP — created by Dangthatsalongname — where players start with one heart and the objective of the server is to survive with 10 lives. Losing a life adds one more heart to a player's health, and a player is eliminated from the server if they lose all of their remaining lives. 
===Empires SMP===
Season 1: June 12, 2021 — January 29, 2022
The Empires SMP is a mostly vanilla Minecraft server in version 1.17, where the objective is for players to establish their own empires to trade goods and resources with other empires, as well as wage wars. She founded The Crystal Cliffs empire which had a purple, magic crystal theme and was in the mountains. Her character was a wizard and headmaster of the crystal cliffs school of wizardry. Her character was a wizard.
Season 2: June 25, 2022 — May 11, 2023
Season 2 is very similar to the original season, but with new Empires and set in version 1.19. This time Gem founded a Sun-themed empire called "Dawn" in a Forested mountainside. She played a celestial being that can cross between worlds, those worlds being the Hermitcraft server and the Empires server. She acted as the self-proclaimed princess of her kingdom and was in charge of honeycomb exports. 
In Season 2, there was a crossover with Hermitcraft and Empires through a rift that was in both of the servers. 
===Afterlife SMP===
Mar 4, 2022 — Jun 9, 2022
The Afterlife SMP is a modified server that is a sequel to the X Life SMP, and still maintains the Hardcore aspect of each member only having 10 lives. However, in this SMP there are additional modifications including the Origins mod, which gives each player an "origin" (generally based on a Minecraft mob) that includes special abilities and either positive, neutral, or negative traits. For each of the player's 10 lives they will obtain a new random Origin, and have the option to re-roll 3 times total over the course of the server.

===Hermitcraft===
She initially joined Hermitcraft during Season 8 with PearlescentMoon.
====Season 8====
In season 8 she built a Cottage-core style base with multiple custom trees around a small pond. She built a parkour obstacle course in a ravine underneath the pond that would award winners with the new and difficult to obtain Drip Leaves, she also built a small plant shop as well as a shop where she sold custom trees that she would build for other Hermits. Her mega base was a woodland palace made of sandstone, moss, jungle planks and melons.
====Season 9====
Season 9 started with all of the Hermits staying near spawn on an unknown seed, and Gem built her starter base into a treehouse. She has collaborated with other hermits for larger or more complicated projects, including building and cleaning up a Skeleton spawner farm with ImpulseSV, and a Guardian farm with Stressmonster101. Her mega-base is an elven palace near a village, which she built directly above the dwarven city belonging to ImpulseSV and opposite PearlescentMoon.
==Events==
===MC Championship===
MC Championship is a Minecraft Tournament for YouTubers and streamers run by Noxcrew, in which 10 teams of four compete in a series of 8 minigames decided by the participants. A point multiplier makes each game worth more as each round passes, incentivizing teams to vote for games they might be bad at early on in the event. In the end, the two teams with the most points face off in a round of ‘Dodgebolt’ to decide the winner of the tournament. This makes it possible for a team to win despite potentially having fewer points than the runner-up.
Tay debuted in MCC17.
