#Minecraft released an April Fools snapshot where putting a book in a nether portal turns it into a portal to a new dimension based on the book’s contents. Some have been designed, and otherwise they’re generated randomly.

According to the video the kid is watching, “message” gets you a world with a giant message, written in flames, saying “WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE”

Kid's homemade #Halloween costume: a #Minecraft spider jockey. His mom did the construction, I helped a bit with the painting, and he's still able to fit in the harness, so he's planning to take it out again this year. Building the thing was a lot of work, but he's getting a lot of use out it.

It works! If you upgrade a Minecraft world to Village and Pillage…

For the record: it works!

If you upgrade a #Minecraft world to the Village and Pillage update and find that the villages you’ve already explored have suffered complete economic collapse, leaving all your villagers unemployed, you *can* craft the new job site blocks, place them in the village, and watch the villagers rediscover how to do their jobs (and trade with you using the new trading mechanics).

Took the 8YO to Minefaire, a traveling Minecraft convention. Entered the costume contest with the Spider Jockey costume. He made it to the final round! But competition was strong, and he didn’t place. 😞 (Winners were an Iron Golem, Alex riding a wolf, and a Pandacorn, all of which were impressive.) He was really disappointed.

We are now planning to up the game for next year’s costume…

Realized I forgot to post here about WonderCon last week.

I was mostly support for the kid’s #Minecraft costume, but I did get a chance to check out art, buy from small vendors & photograph #cosplay with the new camera.

The kid only took 1 photo, but it made be rethink my technique.

Here’s the family as Professor Trelawney and a spider jockey. She ran into a LOT of other #HarryPotter cosplayers:

Kiddo’s been wanting to learn programming, with the ultimate goal of modding Minecraft. We’ve done some Ruby, but he’s impatient, so last night I we started Java with a simple program that repeats a println X times.

He wanted to pass it the integer limit.

After a few minutes, I suggested we watch a movie & check back later.

After dinner, he decided to stop it & we timed some shorter runs.

I think he has a better understanding of scale now!
