The Frontierlands was the world of the original "V1" iteration of SpongeCraft Frontiers, used from the server's July 2023 launch to its outage in January 2024. It was a diverse, uncharted world in which players were tasked with surviving and thriving by exploring and building their own homesteads. Its most notable feature (and unofficial symbol) was the Great Hoodoos, a group of large earthen pillars bounded on all sides by the edges of several different biomes.
During the planning of SpongeCraft Frontiers, it was decided that the server would not feature a superflat map in the same vein as SpongeCraft Classic, and would instead begin life as a typical Minecraft map. The Frontierlands were one of multiple potential maps generated for the server by HawkbitAlpha, and was selected as the final world due to the striking appearance and verticality of the Great Hoodoos. After the launch of the server, the world became known for containing other rarities, including the appearance of both a stronghold and an ocean monument around Inter Island, and a group of four NPC villages in relative proximity to each other, one of which was repurposed as Littleroot Village.
The server's version of the map is believed to be lost permanently due to the SCF V1 outage, but an early backup has been preserved. It was replaced in the V2 reboot of SCF with Outlandia.
