Maintenance will begin at approximately 7pm Arizona time. I will try and keep downtime to a minimum. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Maintenance has been completed. I have installed some new software that will (hopefully) increase the server performance. Please let me know if you see any improvements with reduced lag in servers like Semi-Vanilla Survival and Skyblock. I have updated many core plugins to their latest versions, so please report any bugs you find in the Report a Bug forum. I have added support for connecting to The Sandlot with 1.13.1 clients. I am still recommending you use Minecraft 1.12.2 to connect to The Sandlot, but I am adding this feature because some of our players don't know how to use profiles and switch versions. If you choose to use Minecraft 1.13.1, you will notice some quirks, such as doors only opening on the top half or bottom half, glitching while swimming, and placing stone when you try to use new blocks that were added in 1.13.1. These are not bugs that I intend to fix, so use this version on The Sandlot at your own risk. The Sandlot is not using 1.13.1 on any servers yet (no new blocks or items), this update is only allowing you to connect with a 1.13.1 client. Other notable updates: The Parkour server has updated to the latest version of the Parkour plugin. The Hardcore server has updated to the latest version of the advanced achievements plugin. Thank you everyone for your continued support and involvement with The Sandlot.
Wow wow w0w c0w!!! Absolutely amazing improvements in both servers from my point of view! I did have a visitor in skyblock who said that while they did feel fast... they still went down to 3 fps on my island. But I don't feel anything! I noticed in both servers (Skyblock and SVS)- the minecarts really race without any hesitation. Pistons move super quick- I need to visit someone with a flying machine to give you more feedback about ghost blocking- but it seems like over 50% better! Thank you @c0wg0d !!!
@supertom2013 says he still gets ghost blocks but it happens far less frequently... he also says his 14 village iron farm is now working! Hopper speed has felt like it has doubled ( I do not have solid numbers on this) but flower farms and way efficient mob farms are no longer backing up with floating items (caused by full hoppers). Thanks again @c0wg0d !!
