The preview map of Overlandia originally posted by OWM

Overlandia (known as Outlandia from 2024 to 2025) was the second and final core map of SpongeCraft Frontiers. Following the loss of the Frontierlands with the server's January 2024 outage, it was decided that, with the server's reboot in February, a completely new map would be introduced. Since the server had been upgraded to 1.14.4 after launch, the SCF op team made the decision to use a seed that OWM had posted to the SBC Discord in October 2020, which he had jokingly claimed at the time that a new SpongeCraft server would use. It was a highly varied map which started players near a mushroom island, itself in proximity to a number of wildly different biomes. Its capital was Twinleaf Town, with Truffleville and Dunetooine being other player developments.

After the reintroduction of Spongecraftia to the server in August 2024, Overlandia saw little further development, as players began spending much of their in-game time in the classic world. When the server's January 2026 conversion from Bukkit to Forge necessitated the removal of the Multiverse plugin, it was decided by the server ops that Spongecraftia would once again become the server's core world, resulting in the less popular Overlandia's retirement and archival upon the launch of SpongeCraft Forge.
