The Sandlot - A Family-Friendly Minecraft Community

Yes, you heard me right! I have updated Semi-Vanilla Survival to actually, truly, really, really, Minecraft 1.8. I looked around, and it appears that nearly everything is just fine. One exception is that some shop chests that had banners or slime blocks in them no longer work. There might be other issues with 1.8 items too. Try to recreate the chest shop if you have an issue with that and hopefully it will just work.
Other notable changes are:
- Lockette has been removed.
- The plugin for trails has been updated to the same version as in the Lobby.
- The plugin that handles /home, /tpa, /bal, /spawn, etc. and keeps track of money and balances has been updated.
- The cooldown plugin has been updated to the latest version. If there are any exploits with cooldowns no longer working for your rank, you need to tell me ASAP.
- Several other "behind the scenes" plugins have been updated, which may or may not cause issues with...

In an attempt to simplify VIP pricing and make it more accessible, we will be changing the costs of renewing Sandlot VIP:
What is Changing?
If you currently have a subscription set up, you will need to cancel that subscription via PayPal, and renew by selecting the new package that costs $5.65. You can set this package up as a subscription, or you can purchase it month-by-month. We are...
What is Changing?
- There will be no more "family" packages (VIP for Two, etc.)
- The first month of VIP will remain at $15 per Minecraft account for one month (same as it is now for a single player)
- After the first month, VIP membership will only cost $5.65 per month to maintain or renew
- You do not have to keep VIP "current" to keep the $5.65 per month pricing. Once you have purchased the initial month for $15, you will be able to renew your VIP membership for $5.65 anytime you want.

Semi-Vanilla Survival will be unavailable for several hours. No other servers will be affected or taken offline. The maintenance will consist of updating the claims plugin to the newest version available for our server software, which supports UUIDs.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

All servers will be unavailable for a short time, and the rest of the maintenance window will require restarts and additional downtime in most servers (one at a time). The website will also be unavailable for a short time. I will be online at the time and informing you via in-game chat when I need to restart or take down a particular server. The maintenance will consist of security updates for the underlying OS, plugin updates, and website updates.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

UPDATE: I will be removing the Lockette plugin on Easy and Semi-Vanilla Survival this Thursday, April 21st, after the nightly restart.
UPDATE 2: I have updated the QuickShop plugin to the latest version which supports UUIDs. All your shops *should* have converted successfully, and all commands should be identical. Please post in the Bug Report forum if you have any issues.
I am (slowly) trying to prepare to update Easy and SVS to Minecraft 1.8. Before you ask, I cannot do a straight upgrade from 1.7 to 1.9 because there are too many problems that could arise, and too many other factors to consider. I want to make the transition as safe and seamless as I can for you.
There will not be any map resets for the 1.8 updates. We have not yet determined if there will be map resets for the eventual 1.9 update, but if there are, you will be given ample notice.

We're getting the mods back together on the Easy server for a party on Saturday April 2, at 3:00pm Pacific Time to chat and fool around. Many mods will be attending. No doubt some of them will be up to no good. We may hit a record number of mods online at once!...
Anyway all are encouraged to stop by, say hi and have some fun! Who knows what might happen. I expect you may see a few mods who have been missing for some time - this is your chance to say visit with them again, at least this once.

I spent 4 1/2 hours typing so I could do this:
->
I didn't have the energy to organize them tonight, but I will do that soon. Anyway, enjoy the new Smilies on the forums!
(Also let me know if any of them are labeled incorrectly so I can fix them.)

Maintenance will begin at approximately 8pm Arizona time, and will hopefully be less than an hour, depending on how the maintenance goes.

All servers will be unavailable for a short time, and the rest of the maintenance window will require restarts and additional downtime in Creative. I will be online at the time and informing you via in-game chat when I need to restart or take down a particular server. The maintenance will consist of security updates for the underlying OS, plugin updates, and fixing the damage in Bricksburg. There is also the possibility that claimed plots which are very far away from spawn will be deleted and unclaimed. I never intended anyone but moderators to be able to claim plots further than 5,000 blocks from spawn...

As many of you now know, Minecraft 1.9 has been released. Updating single player worlds from 1.8 to 1.9 is as easy as updating Minecraft itself, but servers are a completely different story. The Sandlot relies on dozens of plugins written by dozens of programmers and software developers all over the world, not to mention the server software itself which is written by a team of people.
The Sandlot cannot just flip a switch and be on 1.9. It will take a long time for the server software to get updated, and even longer for all the plugins we use to get updated. We are still waiting on some of our plugins to support 1.8, let alone 1.9! I expect it will be anywhere from 6 months to a year before The Sandlot can fully implement a 1.9 solution across all our servers and worlds.
All that being said, if you try to connect and play on The Sandlot and get the error "Outdated server", it means you are trying to connect...
