Greetings, everyone! Happy 10th Anniversary to The Sandlot Minecraft Server! Thank you to everyone – all members new, old, and in between, Helpers, Senior Helpers, Elders, VIP contributors, Moderators, Administrators, retired staff, retired members, our Owner, and our Founder. Every member, no matter your rank, has contributed to this server’s foundation. You ARE The Sandlot. We sincerely thank you all.
Please enjoy a highlight reel looking back at the history of our server. This will be quite a long post, but hopefully it will give older players some nostalgia, and newer players a better picture of what the server used to look like, and how far we have come. Enjoy!

Can you believe it?! We are 10 years old! Double digits! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. When I joined this server in 2013, I had no idea how profound of an impact it would have in my life. I am so grateful to our community. You are all so welcoming, creative, determined, and fun! As far as I'm concerned, The Sandlot is my second family.
To celebrate such a monumental occasion, we are going to have many special and fun things to do over the next month! Please continue reading to find out what's coming up, and be sure to leave a reply answering my final questions to you all at the end!

Howdy Pardners!
The Sandlot is pleased to present our newest adventure map, the Wild West!
Your task is to serve as the new Marshal for the town of High Mesa. You will follow clues to capture four outlaws while adventuring to ranches, farms, mines, towns, and native dwellings. Along the way, you will help citizens resolve disputes and make peace with one another.
Be warned though, each outlaw is a mob boss with a sharp tongue and quick trigger!
William Vault aka "One-Eyed Bill" is a legendary bank robber.
Daniel Dispatch aka "Dapper Dan" is a notorious train bandit.
Jackson Hereford aka "Cactus Jack" is a sneaky cattle rustler.
Louis Wheeler aka "Loco Lou" is a wild stage coach thief.
When you spawn into the world, you'll appear in the Frontier Fort. Clicking a sign will give you two emeralds with which to purchase a book and a map. Then, you visit the Quartermaster to get your supplies, and use another sign to get your horse.
Once you are all outfitted, read the first book...

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...

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:
