The Sandlot - A Family-Friendly Minecraft Community

Creative has been updated to Minecraft 1.16.2! Crimson Fungus, Blackstone, Warped Nylium, oh my!

All players may now enable redstone on their plot! Use /redstone to activate it. Redstone will not function unless the plot owner or an added player is in the plot.

You can now place up to 25 entities in your plot!

You can now search for and use just about any player head you can imagine! Use /heads search <search term> to find the perfect head you need to complete your decorative builds, or browse them all with /heads!

These heads are not created by The Sandlot! If you see any heads that are inappropriate, report them directly to me IMMEDIATELY! Thank you!

You can now adjust armor stands in many different ways! You can rotate them, pose them, give them arms, hide them, hide just the base, name them with nametags, and more! Create a battle scene or create a decorative wall with swords and shields on...

Exciting news everyone! Skywars has been updated to 1.16.2, and to celebrate we are launching a new map, Autumn Farm, made by @Frqstieh and @Firepyth! Available now!

I have updated our Arenas server to Minecraft 1.15.2.

I have not made any other changes besides updating the version number. It is late and I need to go to bed, but I will be online tomorrow to help fix any bugs you guys find.

I am going to guess there will be lots of bugs, so rather than flooding the bug report forum, please post any bugs you find here in this thread. Thank you.

Normal Survival has been updated to 1.15.2! Please help by joining and making sure your homes, claims, chest protections, balances, ranks, etc. are all still working properly! If you see any bugs or issues, please post them in this thread or in a bug report. Thank you!

It's party time!

Please join our Community in celebrating the achievement of Sandlot's 2020 Graduates!

We want to honor the hard work and achievements of those Sandlot players who are graduating this year. We know that many schools have cancelled their graduation ceremonies, and other end-of-year celebrations. While a Sandlot celebration could not equal those special moments with family and friends, we want to recognize these milestone achievements within our Sandlot Community.

The celebration will take place in the Lobby at the times below. We hope to see you there, cheering on the graduates!

This is not a typical maintenance announcement. I will be migrating to a new server that has more disk space to accommodate our needs. I will have to take all servers offline for an extended period of time to perform the migration.

To prevent any data loss, I will need to take a full backup of all servers, worlds, maps, player data, etc. while the servers are offline and transfer the data to the new server. After the servers are taken offline, it could take several hours to copy the data and get everything setup on the new server. Once the copy is completed and its integrity verified, I can bring all servers back online.

If I run into major issues, I will keep you apprised by responding to this thread. I don't expect there to be any problems since I have done this before, but I wanted you all to be aware that this is no small feat.

Maintenance will begin on June 19th at approximately 8pm Arizona time.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

P.S. This has...

Hi everyone!

While the /suicide command does succinctly tell you what is happening when you use it, I don't like the command. I don't like having to tell players in HG to /suicide and I don't like seeing "player took their own life." in the chat.

There is a need for this command in certain situations, so I am not getting rid of it. However, I have changed it.

In HG, Skywars, and Arenas, the command is now /quit
In all other servers, the command is now /respawn

I know this does complicate things a little bit, but I think it's worth doing.

Please note: The /suicide command will actually still work the same as before, but the verbiage is different now when using it, and most importantly, I would like to encourage everyone to tell players to use the new /quit and /respawn commands now when it is warranted, and not mention the /suicide command even exists.

Thank you.

I'm not sure exactly what happened, but all servers are now offline. I will update here when I know more.

Hello everyone!

The last few weeks, @_Onion and some other helpers have been preparing a new activity in Easy Survival for this spring/summer... a scavenger hunt! For this scavenger hunt, 20 different block-themed 5x5 squares have been hidden around the Easy Survival map. If you can find them, you will be rewarded with some rare prizes! You'll be able to find a "SANDLOT" banner set (picture below), diamonds, emeralds, beehives, and more!



But, you won't be left to find these prizes with nothing! We will be provide you some hints, which are listed below.

Netherrack: Lives near desert spawn on a patch of ice.
Magma Block: Resides in the dark forest near swamp spawn.
Pumpkin: Is ice skating north of Icy Spawn.
End Block: Resides on a remote island off of the east road.
Soulsand: Is mining terracotta south of Mesa Spawn.
Sand: Lives on the outskirts of Spawn,
Quartz:...

Starting this Saturday, May 16 at 10:00 AM Pacific/1:00 PM Eastern, there will be a community led tournament in Hunger Games! To celebrate this tournament, all Hunger Games kits will be free to use for the whole weekend! In addition, the shop will be disabled for the duration of the tournament.

The tournament is being led by @MCOnion, so any questions should be directed to them. Here is how he has informed me that it will work.

Bracket Structure

For the first round, everyone will be able to play. Then, half of the players will move onto the next round. This will be determined by first the number of kills a player has, and then if there are more spots, whoever stayed in the longest. This discourages hiding the whole game while still rewards some players who are able to hide out for a long time. Near the end of the bracket, there may be more than half of the players who move on as games must have at least 4 players to start.

MCOnion will stay...
