The '''Grand Spongecraftia Directory,''' often referred to as the "directory", "GSS", or "GSD" was built by MDPP due to a growing amount of countries forcing the creation of a new directory, replacing the 1st one built in [[Historic Spongecraftia]].

As a way to preserve the past, the portal for [[Historic Spongecraftia]] goes to the original spawn point instead of a different location. While moving the portal's destination to a different location in Historic Spongecraftia would be useful, most members agree that the original spawn point should be kept for preservation reasons.

The current Directory as it appears in SpongeCraft Frontiers, September 2024

The Grand Spongecraftia Directory, also known as simply the Directory, is the name given to the hub location and spawn point of Spongecraftia, the world of SpongeCraft Classic. Three such hubs have been built, with the third and current one first opening for use in July 2017.

The Directory is essential to navigating the world of Spongecraftia due to its large size. Its main feature is its many "portals", which teleport players to a given location in the world when the button on a given portal is pressed. It is also home to "Da Controls", a room featuring button controls for world conditions and player effects, as well as two "lounges" for both SBC staff and Loyal Customers; however, the latter two have been unofficially open to the public since the closure of SpongeCraft Classic, which resulted in their plugin-based locks being disabled.

On SpongeCraft Classic, the Directory was accessed by typing "directory" in the chat. This was changed with the map's return on SpongeCraft Frontiers, where the teleport was re-implemented as the command "/warp directory". The original two iterations of the Directory remain intact and preserved in Spongecraftia, but are no longer functional for teleporting, due to SpongeCraft Frontiers running on a later version of Minecraft; only the current Directory has had its portals maintained.
