Hello everyone!

Some of you may have noticed recently that a few players have logged in to The Sandlot with a dot at the beginning of their name. These are Sandlot staff members testing out whether or not The Sandlot can support Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.



I realize this is exciting and you probably have a bajillion questions and are thinking about a ton of new possibilities, but please do not get your hopes up yet. This is merely a test, and we are not saying that we will be supporting Minecraft: Bedrock Edition for certain yet. There are still many unknowns. Below I will try to propose and answer any questions you may have. Please read it thoroughly and if you still have more questions, the moderator team will try our best to answer them.

Please note below that JE means Java Edition and BE means Bedrock Edition.

Why do some players have a dot "." in front of their name?

Since BE and JE usernames...

Most of our servers have now been updated to Minecraft 1.17.1. Please use this version to connect to and play on The Sandlot.

You can see this handy thread for which servers are on which versions here:

Mojang is requiring everyone to migrate their current Mojang account, the one associated with Minecraft: Java Edition, to a Microsoft account. It is a "slow rollout," meaning they are doing it in batches. You should have seen a message in your Minecraft launcher over the last several weeks about this migration. When it is your turn to migrate, you will get a new message in your launcher, stating you are eligible for migration. It will look like this:



To avoid problems, before clicking on anything, I would recommend that you make absolutely sure you familiarize yourself with Microsoft's accounts. By this, I mean that:

• You might already have a Microsoft account through your work or school
• You might already have a Microsoft account if you play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition
• You might already have a Microsoft account if you play Minecraft: Dungeons
• You might already have a Microsoft account if you have an Xbox
• You...

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/

You can find the challenge requirements and rewards here: https://www.sandlotminecraft.com/pages/skyblock-challenges
