===SpongeCraft Classic (2015-2019)===

[[File:Spongecraft.png|thumb|right|200px]]

'''SpongeCraft''' (later known as '''SpongeCraft Classic''', to differentiate it from its successors) launched on January 30th, 2015 using Minecraft 1.5.2, and received regular updates over the next two years, with its last major change being a July 2017 update to version 1.12.2. It ran on the [[Spot]] server, and featured the world of [[~~SpongeCraftia~~]].

SpongeCraft was the creation of MDPP, who launched it as a self-hosted operation using a Raspberry Pi, which placed unique restrictions on building in SpongeCraft's first weeks: a square formation of cakes, dubbed the "cake line", outlined a small perimeter within [[Historic Spongecraftia]], in which players were able to build without overtaxing the server hardware. After this restriction was lifted, players began to rapidly spread construction projects outward from the now densely-packed [[Historic Spongecraftia City]], which evolved into the system of dedicated "nations" such as [[Unknown Spongecraftia]] and [[Arctic Spongecraftia]].
