'''SpongeCraft Frontiers''' ('''SCF''') is a Minecraft server operated by SBC, launched on July 4, 2023.
'''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 server's future creation was confirmed during the April 2023 rollout of [[Seahorse 15]], and it was later officially unveiled on July 3rd, 2023, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMTqxO1B1JA opening to players] the next day. In its initial iteration, SCF was based in [[The Frontierlands|the Frontierlands]], and saw players develop a network of several villages across the map.


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, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMTqxO1B1JA opening to players] the next day. It is a departure from the original SpongeCraft concept, being a survival server with a heavy emphasis on world exploration.
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 map. The newly-regenerated SCF relaunched in February 2024, coinciding with [[Februquarry]].


Players of SpongeCraft Frontiers begin with a nearly 500-foot drop, dubbed the Leap of Faith, into '''[[The Frontierlands|the Frontierlands]]''', a diverse world centered around [[Great Hoodoos|a cluster of distinctive earthen pillars]]. After exiting the Landing, players can proceed to explore the world and create their own ever-expanding homesteads. Its current center of activity is [[Littleroot Village]].
While originally launched as a vanilla survival server, since the reboot, SCF has been officially reformatted as a fully gamemode-optional server, with players being allowed to switch freely between creative and survival modes. In addition to its primary world of [[Overlandia]], SCF also features [[Spongecraftia]], the superflat world of SpongeCraft Classic, as a secondary realm, through the use of the Multiverse plugin.
