'''SpongeCraft''' was a feature on SBC, released on January 30, 2015. Designed by MDPP, it was the all exclusive SBC release of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft Minecraft]. It used to run on Minecraft 1.5 (more specifically 1.5.2) From July 2017 to its closure, the SpongeCraft client ran on Minecraft 1.12.2. SpongeCraft ran on the [[Spot]] server.
 
On August 25, 2019, it was announced that SpongeCraft would be discontinued in September 2019, due to various unsolvable issues and lack of activity. The map itself was backed-up before its closure and [https://www.thesbcommunity.com/forums/index.php?/topic/17785-spongecraft-map-downloads/ released] as an archive. The final tournaments were held on September 13 and 14, 2019. SpongeCraft finally shut down for good on September 19, 2019.
 
Talks of a possible V2 revival of SpongeCraft began in November 2022, and were later officially confirmed alongside the launch of [[Seahorse 15]] in April 2023. Set to be launched by [[HawkbitAlpha]] later into 2023, SpongeCraft V2 will continue to run on the 1.12.2 version of Minecraft, but will be a survival server as opposed to the original creative game.
 
==Features==
* Supported Windows XP and later, Mac OS X 10.5+, and 32/64-bit Linux.
* Home of [[Teams|Team]] events and tournaments.
* General SpongeCraft events: PVP battles, hide and seek, arena, and last one standing.
* When an event isn't going on, the world of Spongecraftia is open for anyone to build in.
* Custom Minecraft skins were available for [[Loyal Customers]] and staff. Originally skins could be purchased in the SpongeCraft Store for 5,000 doubloons, but due to [[iFish]] skins no longer working, the item was just removed altogether. A custom Minecraft skin would allow you to change your appearance in-game to anything you'd like.
* Custom in-game name changes are also available in SBC store. Name changes allow you to add text before and after your name, such as "The Great and Powerful [[sbl]]."
* You could earn [[Doubloons]] from mining in the Doubloon Mine.
