Arctic Mills
Arctic Mills, formerly known as the Village of Winter Mall, was a mall and plaza in Arctic Spongecraftia built in 2017 by ZaidCatDog. During its relatively short operation, it was considered to be the flagship of Zaid's various businesses in SpongeCraft Classic, being his primary project until his ban from SBC in December 2018. Upon Zaid's ban, Arctic Mills remained standing open as SC operators planned to demolish the complex to make room for other development. It was officially closed on December 19th, 2018 after being unintentionally damaged by HawkbitAlpha, before being fully removed three days later in a controlled demolition carried out by sbl, OWM, and Hawkbit. The track-side Arctic Mills plaza sign, the only remaining piece to be untouched by the demolition, was left standing. The land on which Arctic Mills once stood was expected to be the site of future development, though no plans were ever brought forward before the closure of SpongeCraft in 2019.
The plot of land formerly occupied by Arctic Mills was left as an empty, partially snowed-over grid adjacent to Arctic Spongecraftia's Ice Lake. Prior to its demolition, a complete copy of the mall and its surroundings was also placed on the map far outside of Spongecraftia limits; in the map's public release, a portal in a corner of the Grand Spongecraftia Directory named "Arctic Mills Museum" will teleport players to the copied complex. However, shortly after Spongecraftia was returned to use on SpongeCraft Frontiers in August 2024, WorldEdit was used on the copy to restore Arctic Mills to its original site in Arctic Spongecraftia, where it remains on the server today.
Revival (2024 - Present)
When Zaid returned to SBC in August 2024, he decided to "bring arctic mills up to code", and started a project to remodel it inside and out, of which said project is still on-going.
