  1. 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!

    On a scale of Carl Wheezer to the Llama Song, I give Winamp a good, solid Omair

    Yeah, and I died 72 times! It was a horrible experience.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Can you feel that?
    You better hold on.
    This one's about to get rocky.

     

    Nearly four years ago, we waved goodbye to SpongeCraft, our classic creative Minecraft server, after several years of operating as our flagship gaming hub.

    Now, after nearly a year in the works... SpongeCraft is returning with a vengeance, and in a form like never before.

    In this game of survival, players will take a nearly 500-foot leap of faith directly into the world of the Frontierlands, a diverse, rich land of unusual formations and proportions. After making their way out of the Landing, it will be up to players and their skills to survive, thrive, and improvise in this uncharted world of pillars, mountains, and plains.

    image.png.a43ca02a85a9d09dd1903274cbd0bf36.png

    Just as with classic SpongeCraft before it, Frontiers will be operating for the foreseeable future using the 1.12.2 1.14.4 version of Minecraft, with ViaVersion allowing it to be backwards-compatible with newer clients. Also keeping with tradition, this is an offline server, meaning that players without Minecraft accounts will be able to join in on the adventure as well!

    We will officially hold the grand opening to the Frontiers tomorrow, July 4th, at 8:00 PM Eastern time. We hope you will be there to begin a new journey into the unknown!

  8. It's time again, y'all - time for a new entry in the SBC Community Mixtape! Right as the cold has finally gone away, and we're heading into the summer months, it's time that we once again fire up the musical blender and make some great smoothies. While the humidity outside continues to go up and up, let's try cooling off with this mixtape's theme:

    SUMMER JAMS

    For summer, maybe you feel like heading out on a vacation. Maybe you feel an urge to take a desperate, heat wave-induced leap into your closest water source. Maybe you just feel like chilling outside with a good drink in hand. Whatever it is, we want to know what you love to listen to during these sizzling parts of the year - the warmer-sounding, the better!

    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, June 3rd. Now, please excuse me while I fail some more at keeping a pool clean.
