Uhhh, does being stuck in the middle of Breaking Bad season 2 right now count?

Server is updated again to Java 1.14.4!

SpongeCraft Frontiers has been updated to Minecraft Java 1.14! Not the biggest jump ever, but this allows us to bring in some new features while retaining enough optimization for players. I hope y'all will find this to be a welcome announcement!

Order up!

It was a horrible experience.

We're back, y'all! It's time for the 13th round of the SBC Community Mixtape, the running tradition in which we all grab our favorite ingredients to team up and cook some high-quality musical stew. This time, though, we're going to need to pack up more than our usual load, as our theme will need us to prepare to hit the road for... THE GREAT ADVENTURE Most songs that we can all name are <5 minute long pieces that tend to stay in one gear for their entire runtime. Well, that's not quite what we're looking for this time. This mixtape is all about the epics, songs that take lots of crazy turns throughout, and could even be considered multiple tracks glued into one. In other words, the kind of vast, seemingly-endless things that feel like embarking on the audible equivalent of a grand adventure story on every listen. While they can be of any length, I tend to find that, the longer they are, the better! As always, the rules: Length limits per person: due to the nature of this mixtape's theme, I'm upgrading the total submissions limit for this one to 45 minutes per person. (This site is great for calculating the times.) Try to post your submissions using a Spotify playlist. If this is not possible for you, at least make sure that all of your submissions are available on Spotify. Joke/troll entries can and most likely will be excluded. No repeat entries (can't submit the same thing as somebody else). Tentative deadline for submissions is Saturday, September 16th. I expect this mixtape might get a little bit out of hand, but until then, I'm off to hunt for some symphonies to check out.

You think you waited too long, Maniac? Look how long I sat on this!

Okay, so! Bluesky, Twitter clone, currently in closed beta. A few of us are on there already, escaping the five-alarm fire that is The Site Formerly Known As Twitter, and I thought it'd be a great idea for us to connect it all up here. We can also share those ever-so-precious invite codes here on SBC, as I plan on doing soon in the form of a randomized giveaway. For those of you already on Bsky, feel free to link to your accounts below! I'm right here.

Due to recurring appearances by some uninvited strangers, we've now switched SCF over to whitelist mode. This means that, if you're a new player joining the server, you'll need to let us server ops (me, sbl, OWM, jjs, or DG) know, and tell us your in-game name so that we can let you in.

The fact that I share a birthday with Spongebob in-universe must have been some kind of cosmic sign that I belonged in this community after all

Here we go again, y'all. After a month off, it's time for another round of the SBC Community Mixtape! It's our own equivalent of the classic potluck dinner, but instead of food, we all bring the noise. This time, though, we may want to bring some blankets along, as our theme is... TOTAL COVERAGE Have you ever heard a song that you were surprised to find out was a cover of an existing one? Or maybe you've found a cover, and then decided that you liked it more than the original? That's what we're looking for here: cover songs that you think either differentiate themselves very well from the original, or that you think are outright better than the original. I'm curious to see where y'all can take this one! Of course, the rules: Length limits per person: you have a total of 30 minutes worth of music to play with. (This site is great for calculating the times.) Try to post your submissions using a Spotify playlist. If this is not possible for you, at least make sure that all of your submissions are available on Spotify. Joke/troll entries can and most likely will be excluded. No repeat entries (can't submit the same thing as somebody else). Most of all: have fun with it! Tentative deadline for submissions is next Saturday, July 22nd. Until then, I'm off to try and relearn how to play Smoke on the Water on guitar.

At least we still have a bit more summer to go!

Boop.
