Getting Ready for Minecraft Leagues at SNDBX

Getting Ready for Minecraft Leagues at SNDBX

DON' HIT SNOOZE ON THIS.

TOMORROW WILL BE A LOT MORE FUN IF THE ACCOUNTS ARE READY!


Hi! We are actively ruining your Friday night Happy Hour with some last minute instructions before your Minecraft League starts tomorrow. You'll thank us in the morning!

Since Minecraft requires a Microsoft (Xbox) account, this should hopefully be relatively simple.

See below for detailed instructions on how to play on your own account at SNDBX.

The most important thing to note is if you want to use a SNDBX account, you are welcome to skip this part.

For Minecraft, if you use your own account on our shared server you will need to have an active Game Pass Ultimate account with Microsoft, which is an additional cost. You may likely already be paying for this, so just double check before jumping through the following hoops...

PLEASE HAVE AN ACTIVE MICROSOFT (XBOX) ACCOUNT LOGIN AND PASSWORD WITH YOU TOMORROW AND READY TO INPUT INTO THE SNDBX XBOX'S.

WE WILL MAKE SURE THESE BECOME PASSWORD PROTECTED ONSITE IF THEY AREN'T ALREADY.

THIS IS IN BOLD AND CAPS BECAUSE NOBODY EVER LISTENS TO ME! Please have this ready for smooth Minecraftingness tomorrow :)
