#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.

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.

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!
