Not to be confused with the original server, SpongeCraft Classic.

SpongeCraft Frontiers (SCF) is a Minecraft server operated by SBC, originally launched on July 4, 2023, and rebooted on February 16, 2024.

Several years after the closure of SpongeCraft Classic in September 2019, then-newly-appointed Cashier HawkbitAlpha floated the idea of bringing a Minecraft experience back to SBC in November 2022. The project was confirmed to be in the works during the April 2023 rollout of Seahorse 15, and later officially unveiled on July 3rd, 2023, opening to players the next day. In its initial iteration, SCF was based in the Frontierlands, and saw players develop a network of several villages across the map.

In January 2024, SCF went offline due to Hawk no longer being able to afford paying for the server. Upon attempting to relaunch the server in February, it was discovered that the host had deleted the server and all of its files due to a month passing in the time since, rendering all previous progress on SCF permanently lost. This led to the decision to initiate a full "V2" reboot of SCF, featuring a new, more diverse map known as Outlandia. The newly-regenerated SCF relaunched in February 2024, coinciding with Februquarry.

While originally launched as a vanilla survival server, since the reboot, SCF has been officially reformatted as a hybrid survival and creative server, with players being allowed to switch between the two game modes. It also features Spongecraftia, the superflat world of SpongeCraft Classic, as a secondary map, through the use of the Multiverse plugin.
