We want to honor the hard work and achievements of those Sandlot players who are graduating this year. We are planning a celebration on Saturday, 15 June 2024, for all interested graduates.
Participant Criteria:
1. You are graduating this year (homeschool, public school, private school...) from your intermediate or senior level education program, or from post-secondary education. (Post-secondary education includes college graduations for anyone earning an Associate, Bachelor, Master, or Doctoral degree, or anyone earning a Trade School Certification.)
In the spoiler are my best estimates of equivalencies for USA, Canada, UK, and Australia education programs. If you are graduating from your country's intermediate or senior education program, and want to participate, please let us know.

HARD TEAMS WILL RETURN THIS JULY!
Since everyone seemed to have fun with this last year and again during the holidays, we're bringing Hard Teams back this July!
If you want to play on the Hard Server Teams event in July, please post a reply to this message with your minecraft name. You may also include the names of your family or friends who want to be on the same team together. You can also post on behalf of other players in game who do not use the forums (as long as they requested it).
As you may know, things in Hard change all the time and Hard Teams is no exception. This month we will be trying something new, and the theme will be ADVENTURE! We encourage all of you to try what I believe is THE most fun thing in Minecraft: grab some friends and get out there and have adventures! Explore the mountains, the oceans (the monuments!), the jungles (yay jungles!) find animals and shipwrecks and caverns - and actually fight...

Hello everyone! This new and improved February lobby will be full of fantastic fun! You will have a chance to win a mending elytra, shulker boxes, and 15 moderator heads in the February lobby scavenger hunt!
There are 15 moderator challenges that are scattered around the lobby, with a cool game or adventure for each one!
At the end of each challenge/adventure, click the sign saying that you found a moderator's head. You will get a token, which you can use to trade with villagers for any of the 15 moderator heads listed below, a shulker box, and a mending elytra!
The villager is located in the sunken shops next to the Hunger Games portal.
Depending on how the scavenger hunt is going, clues will be provided.
Always remember to push buttons, swim, and walk all around the lobby to find the entrances to each head quest.
You will now be able to get and store items in shulker boxes in the lobby!
Trade two tokens with the villager to get a shulker box.

Sandlot will be undergoing some important maintenance today, January 12.
Edit: And we're back! Sandlot is now online.
We will start our four hour maintenance window at 10pm US Eastern time (EST), and will be back online with the normal restart at 2am.
Our IP address is changing.
Please restart your Minecraft game any time after the maintenance starts before trying to reconnect.
There is nothing else you need to do.
Bedrock Edition users who use our "Method 1 - Using custom network settings" to connect:
During maintenance, all you need to do is restart minecraft.
You will need to change the IP address for your DNS server by January 26.
We will update instructions in the next day or two.
The new IP address is 15.204.44.34.
The old IP address 66.70.181.137 (will stop working on Jan 26).

By popular request we are bringing back Hard Teams for the Holidays, new and improved! Come join everyone in a special Holiday themed world that isn't quite as Hard as usual and join with others on your team to build big things, do Achievements (AACH) to get points for your team and just have fun with everyone. Yes you can even have fun with people NOT on your team! Note: Team Leaders must decide if they want to share any big Auto-farms that are made by their teams. Please post clear signs saying whether farms are Public or Team Only - either are OK!
At a minimum we should have an automated team scoring system, more improvements are TBD. We will NOT have separate team chat channels because we decided it's just way more fun for an event when everyone is chatting together.
You can expect snow and ice and christmas trees and holiday structures (giant candy canes etc) and who knows what else.
There will be four teams you can choose from,...

Parkour will be under maintenance in order to implement all the new changes. There will be another announcement soon about the relaunch. The server is being reset and relaunched, but we will keep the same spawn and nearly all the same courses.
Will the leaderboards be reset?
Yes, the leaderboards will be reset. The record times are still documented on forums, however.
Will my levels and progress be reset?
Yes. However, you can get more levels by playing courses with your friends!
What new changes are there?
Color coded course signs.
This has been a feature for a little while now, but course signs in the Easy, Norm, Hard, and Cray lobbies are now visible and are color coded based on their difficulty. Green are the easy courses, yellow are normal/intermediate, and red are harder courses. This is helpful for seeing the difficulty of a course within the Easy, Norm, Hard, and Cray difficulties.
Optional tutorial/training course.

Hi, all!
After quite a few months, it's time for the grand opening of Bedwars on The Sandlot! What better way to do this than by adding four new Bedwars maps?!
First up, we have StarWars, built by @WanderingLlama! When you're playing this map, you'll be transported straight into the world of Star Wars. Relax in the comfort of your very own TIE Fighter, but be wary of the Death Star when you're out gathering emeralds! Either way, you're guaranteed to have an out of this world experience when playing this map.
Next, we have OuttaWater, built by @RainbowRat2004! You won't believe what you're 'seaing' when you 'sea' this map. As soon as you step your fins on the sand of this map, you'll be transported under the sea and be playing Bedwars right next to a giant sea turtle! Swim your way to victory alongside seahorses in this awesome aquatic map.

Hard Teams Event opening Saturday July 1 @Noon eastern time!
Hard will be closed Wednesday night in preparation for the opening of Hard Teams Event ON July 1 at noon eastern time. Hard will reset with a mostly Vanilla world (we reserve the right to include surprises), and four teams will compete to see which one can win the event!
Anyone can join, new players to Hard are welcome as this is the perfect time to join forces with experienced teammates and play on the Hard server. Player scores will be totalled for each team to determine the final placements at the end of July. More players = more scores for that team so recruiting could matter a lot here!
Please choose a Team by replying to this message. You may choose any team you want!
