July 21 3:30PM ET Sandlot is now back online.
July 21 1:20PM ET Maintenance is still in progress; all servers are offline.
July 21 11:00AM ET Maintenance is in progress; all servers are offline.

We have been having random disconnects and problems with our internet connection on the server, so I have scheduled a technician to diagnose the problem. This requires the server to be taken offline. I do not know how long the server will be offline, as it depends on the result of the diagnosis. I will update this thread with more information when available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

What is Skyblock?

Skyblock is a special kind of survival world. Players start on a tiny island, floating in the sky atop one bedrock block at Y:145. Each island has one oak tree, 44 grass blocks, 44 dirt blocks, 2 sand, 1 red sand, 1 bedrock, and a chest with a few starting items. Using ingenuity and these items, players plant, farm and harvest to get items that complete challenges. Each challenge rewards more items, money, and XP. Players complete challenges and grow their islands to become beautiful, floating sky paradises.

Challenge details and tips to get started are located in sticky posts within the Skyblock forum. https://www.sandlotminecraft.com/forums/skyblock.13/

The time has come to say farewell to the current Skyblock map, with a grand reopening on May 29th at 12:00 pm noon EDT!

There will be a separate announcement thread with details on the new Skyblock, but here is what you need to know for now.

Is the map being reset?

Yes.

So, I'm going to lose my items and my island?

Yes.

What Minecraft version will the new Skyblock be using?

1.16.5.

Will I be able to download the current map to play in single player?

Yes. I would recommend putting all your inventory items into a chest on your island before the reset, since player inventories will be wiped in the map download.

Will there be a farewell party for the current Skyblock?

Yes! I will host a livestream to say goodbye on May 22nd at 4 pm EDT. You can watch here: https://www.sandlotminecraft.com/pages/live/

It will be closed when...
