The '''Great Hoodoos''' | The '''Great Hoodoos''' were a group of enormous earthen pillars and floating islands which collectively formed the most prominent topological feature in [[The Frontierlands|the Frontierlands]], and served as the unofficial symbol of the original [[SpongeCraft Frontiers]]. As the default spawn point is situated within the Hoodoo House atop the rocks, the formations were the first point of literal dives into the server for all players. | ||
Despite the loss of the Frontierlands map with the January 2024 outage of SCF, and its subsequent replacement with [[Outlandia]], the Great Hoodoos still remain in the server's branding, with one formation appearing in the background of the icon that appears in the game's server list. | |||

Derived from the design of the Royals boat-house that [[HawkbitAlpha]] had created in [[SpongeCraft Classic]], it featured a dining room/kitchen on its ground floor along with a glass-enclosed wrap-around deck. The front side of the deck, as well as its glass enclosure, was connected to a wooden bridge built across a gap between three pillars, from which players would perform their initial jump into the Frontierlands. | ||

The Landing Commons sported a pair of large public chests, an Ender Chest, a set of furnaces, and a group of beds in an underground nook known as the Swedish Room. From here, players could properly enter the world by exiting through the Commons' gates. The [[Pioneer Central Railway]] connected the front gate of the Landing to [[Littleroot Village]] and [[Centralia]]. | ||
