conversations.value: Minecraft Modding with Forge: A Family-Friendly Guide to Building Fun Mods in Java
  The members of the Minecraft Forge Forums were very patient and extremely helpful in answering our questions. We highly encourage you to ask any of your Forge-related questions there.
  Last, but not least, we seek forgiveness from all those who have helped us over the past few months and whose names we have failed to mention.
  It is very common to play Minecraft with multiple mods, and there are many kinds of mods that can be made to make Minecraft a more interesting game. The ability to write these mods gives a player complete control over the game. There is no official way to create mods, but there are several third-party vendors that provide that ability; Minecraft Forge is one of these ways.

conversations.value: One fun example of a way you can use this mod is making a huge TNT bomb. An image of this is shown in Figure 6-3.
  In the process of learning these new commands, some Java concepts such as arrays and the `ArrayList` class were introduced. We also explained basic error handling using `try`-`catch`, escaping special characters (such as quotes) within a string, and the logical `&&` operator.
  Have you ever wanted to add a new block to the game? Most modders want to. Whether it's because the regular blocks are too mundane, or you have a great idea for a new block, making a new block is fun, and there are a lot of features that you can customize. This chapter will explain how to create a new block and will have an ender theme. However, you can make tons of other kinds of blocks, such as stairs or teleporters, and variations like those will be explained here.
  The first thing you will need is a new class that stores all of the block's information, like the hardness, resistance, and creative tab. Make a new class called `EnderBlock` in your package. The first thing you need to do is make the class extend from `Block`. This means `EnderBlock` becomes a child class, and `Block` is the parent class. `Block` is a Java class in Minecraft that enables any Java class to look and act like a block.
  Replace all of the generated code with the code from Example 7-1. This can be done by deleting all of the current code, and then copying and pasting this code into your file.

conversations.value: An amazing opportunity in the D4K evolution will be to leverage the Parleys.com platform (which is used by Devoxx to publish the rich media presentations). I'd love to introduce online courses on this platform in different languages so that children can continue their D4K enthusiasm and learn more about a certain topic at their own pace, wherever, whenever.
  It's very obvious that more and more people will receive an online certificate/diploma without ever physically entering the school premises. We can live wherever on this planet and get an online education, but the challenge will be to balance our needed social contacts, making real friends, and looking beyond the screen—not easy.
  The Texas horned lizard has a distinctive "crown" of horns on its head, the number and pattern of which varies between species. These horns are extensions of the animal's skull, and are made of true bone. The average length of these lizards is 2.7 inches, though females tend to be larger than males. Their scales are tan with dark splotches (which serve as camouflage), and there are rows of small spikes on their back and sides.
  While the horned lizard eats various insects, red harvester ants make up nearly 70% of its diet. Both the ant and the lizard prefer warmer temperatures, so are often active at the same time of day. However, the horned lizard population has recently declined, perhaps because their primary food source has become harder to find: the increased use of pesticides and spread of the aggressive fire ant species have wiped out many harvester ant colonies.
  While the Texas horned lizard does not have many natural predators, it has several defensive tactics. When threatened, it will puff its body up, making its scales protrude and becoming harder to swallow. It is a capable digger, and can quickly burrow underground to escape threats. It is also able to squirt a stream of blood from its eyes, up to 5 feet away. Not only does this confuse predators, but the blood contains a chemical that tastes particularly bad to canines (like wolves, coyotes, and domestic dogs).
