The Sandlot - A Family-Friendly Minecraft Community

You're not going to want to miss out on the freshly reset, new and improved Parkour server on The Sandlot! Can you believe that the original Parkour server was released at the beginning of 2014, 7 years ago? We think you're gonna like what we've done with the place!





Something New:

• You will earn in-game money and levels from completing courses instead of items.
• Depending on what level "tier" you are, you will receive a corresponding rank. Bragging rights!
  
• As you level up, you will begin to unlock higher difficulties, like Easy, Norm, Hard, and Cray. Hover over your name to see your level and rank!
• A Parkour Shop has been added for you to buy blocks and materials with the money earned from courses.
• "Challenge Courses" have been added in every difficulty. They include...

Congratulations guys! Thank you for making The Sandlot the best Minecraft community on the planet! Everyone give them a warm welcome (and also some cake)!

LegoBoyo has worked diligently for almost 2 years on a new Hunger Games map, and it is our pleasure to release it tomorrow! To celebrate, everyone will be given access to use all HG kits for free, and LegoBoyo's map will be the only map in rotation for the day, so that everyone can get familiar with it and enjoy all the hard work he put into it!

There are tons of secrets and cool things to find, so make sure you explore everywhere!

I and other mods will be playing several games of HG starting at noon Pacific/1:00 pm Arizona/3:00 pm Eastern tomorrow, December 19th! I hope you can join us!

Thanks again @LegoBoyo for building an awesome map!

Most of our servers have now been updated to Minecraft 1.16.4. 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:

Hard Survival has been reset for December, and it has been made easier this month so that more people can enjoy the adventure there together! Make a snowman, have a snowball fight, open presents, and explore! Happy Holidays everyone!

Also, please give a special thanks to @trubuhl for this month's reset, as he did the troll's share of work on it! Thank you @trubuhl!

Hello everyone,

The Sandlot now supports Minecraft 1.16.4 clients. Under the hood, all 1.16 servers are still running 1.16.3, but that shouldn't be a big deal, because no new server-side/gameplay features were added in this latest version.

The main new feature added to Minecraft 1.16.4 is a new Social Interactions Screen. We need to talk about this, and what it means for the moderator team, our helpers, and the community as a whole.

The new Social Interactions Screen can be opened, by default, by pressing the P key. This new screen will show a list of all players currently on The Sandlot, though only in the server you are currently in.

Note: On The Sandot, this list will show 80+ players, many having a ~BTLP prefix. These are "fake" players that are required to format our tab list in the way it is.

The main purpose of the new Social Interactions Screen is to mute or block players. While I could see this being useful on a large Minecraft server, I do not...

I am considering making some drastic changes to the Adventure server, and I would like to get your feedback on my ideas. I'm posting in the Announcements area for better visibility. I will outline each idea below with my reasoning behind the proposed change.

1. Remove VIPs ability to fly.

Rather than having infinite flight, I think it would be nice if flight was only granted as a special reward for a difficult task, and only given for a short time. Another idea would be to add a new magic wand or some other magic item that gives the power of flight (or perhaps levitation, since that is a vanilla Minecraft feature now).

2. Turn off invincibility and add food.

This will increase the difficulty, but I think it will make exploration more rewarding, and will give players a bigger incentive to level up their wands to gain more damage. It will also necessitate potions, and using things like golden apples and totems of undying. Keep Inventory would be kept ON so that dying isn't...

The Adventure server has been updated with the return of the Samhain adventure!

Follow the Jack o'Lanterns from the spawn area to reach the Samhain adventure. Explore and battle mobs as you make your way to the castle, where you will fight Lord Voldemort himself! Defeating him will grant you a ticket for a free cheracc costume!

You can find candy and Samhain Tokens along the way, which you can use to purchase Halloween fireworks from the villager near spawn, and to gear up along the way.

Enjoy, and please give a huge thanks to @LifeLearner and @waseric for working hard the last several weeks to revive this adventure for your enjoyment! Thanks guys!

Have fun!

The time has come to grab your golden boots, a diamond pickaxe, and a full stack of food, and set forth on a new nether adventure! Watch out for dangerous hoglins and be careful when looting chests near piglins! Find ancient debris, smelt it, and combine with gold to upgrade your tools and armor to the new top tier standard, Netherite!

Please read all the following information carefully so that we can all enjoy this new experience in the best way possible!

Nether Spawn

There is a new nether spawn area that you will be teleported to from the portal in the mall. From there, you will find a path and a staircase. The path will take you to the brand new wither fighting arena! The staircase will lead you up to the area where we will build nether tunnels, which can be used for quick travel. This is where everyone's murals will be built. I will need volunteers to help clear out the tunnels!

Please, please, please DO NOT blow up or destroy...
