Littleroot Village
Littleroot Village is a populated settlement in the Frontierlands, and the first officially-designated municipality in SpongeCraft Frontiers. Originally discovered by DarknessDG, and later incorporated by HawkbitAlpha, it is a former NPC village located in the world's savannah biome. Following a zombie swarm which killed all but one of the town's NPC villagers, several players moved into its abandoned buildings, quickly turning Littleroot Village into SCF's first primary population center. As of September 22nd, 2023, it is the home base of Hawkbit, DarknessDG, WhoBob, Meko1432, OWM. RDSP, Compressere, and dmandaman.
The village has been significantly changed from its original form, now consisting of a mix of player-made buildings and auto-generated cottages. While its original population is gone, following the removal of Meko's iron maker in September 2023, another group of free-roaming NPC villagers was released into Littleroot Village. It is connected by the Pioneer Central Railway to the villages of Centralia, New Horizonia, and Pescare Part, as well as the Great Hoodoos.
