[[File:OutlandiaPreview.jpg|thumb|350px|right|The preview map of Overlandia originally posted by [[OWM]]]]

'''Overlandia''' (known as '''Outlandia''' from 2024 to 2025) was the second and final ~~world~~ map of [[SpongeCraft Frontiers]]. Following the loss of [[The Frontierlands|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 [[SpongeCraft Operators|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.

'''Overlandia''' (known as '''Outlandia''' from 2024 to 2025) was the second and final core map of [[SpongeCraft Frontiers]]. Following the loss of [[The Frontierlands|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 [[SpongeCraft Operators|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.

~~The unofficial capital~~ of Overlandia ~~was~~ [[~~Twinleaf Town~~]]~~. Its first settlement,~~ [[~~Truffleville~~]], ~~remained abandoned on~~ the ~~beginning mushroom island until the conversion to~~ Forge ~~in 2026~~.

During the server's January 2026 overhaul, the conversion from Bukkit to Forge necessitated the removal of the Multiverse plugin, which allowed the server to simultaneously feature both Overlandia and [[SpongeCraft Classic]]'s world of [[Spongecraftia]]. It was decided by the server ops that Spongecraftia would once again become the server's core world, resulting in Overlandia's retirement and archival upon the launch of [[SpongeCraft Forge]].

==Trivia==

*The map was originally named [[Outlandia (Capital)| ~~Outlandia]], after~~ the capital city of the same name from [[Outland Spongecraftia]] in [[SpongeCraft Classic]]. Due to the ~~return~~ of [[Spongecraftia]] to the server, the world was renamed in January 2025 to avoid confusion between the two.
