Coding in MC DiamondFire
Daniel has been discussing maths and physics with Ben but not for schoolwork, for Minecraft! He’s got really into coding in Minecraft and has developed a game within the game which involves, among other things, throwing special blocks called slime blocks and watching them bounce. For this he needed vectors. This is a great example […]

Not modern enough
Elizabeth was providing technical support for Roblox to a friend today. We asked Daniel what she was doing and he replied that we wouldn’t understand because “You’re not as modern as we are“. Daniel created a Minecraft Realm recently and invited several friends to it. One of his friends accidentally created a looping command block […]

Minecraft and pubic hair
I’ve never paid much attention to where my site’s traffic comes from until recently and now I’m intrigued by the amount of search engine traffic I get for an old Minecraft post I published in 2014. Google Webmaster tools shows me all the search terms people use to find my site. The top 30 search […]

Creating Minecraft mods: setting up the environment
Note: I’ve created a two YouTube videos showing how to do this – part 1 & part 2. Yesterday I posted a guide for installing Minecraft mods on a Mac. The logical next step to this is is creating your own mods. This is not quite as easy as installing them – you will need […]

The DanTDM Show!

But I can share a few photos and details without giving anything away like the enormous queue outside Town Hall just before it started. I love living in Britain. The British have […]

Proving theorems
It was school holidays last week while I was in Utah and Ben had to juggle looking after the kids with work. One day he took them into the department and took this photo of Elizabeth drawing on the blackboard. It’s so great. I love how she’s this tiny head at the bottom and she’s drawing […]

Creeper family
Elizabeth drew this picture of Creeper’s family (I especially love “bruver”. She still pronounces “th” like a “v”): I’ve eaten too much chocolate this past week. I’m never eating any chocolate ever again. I just have to finish my Easter Eggs first, though 🙂 Ben has a tradition of hiding Easter Eggs around the house […]

Installing Minecraft mods on a Mac
UPDATE: This post has been updated in How to install Minecraft mods on a Mac. My son is obsessed with Minecraft. He knows everything there is to know about the game, he has Minecraft toys, Minecraft books, he plays the game at school, and if we let him, he’d be at the computer all day […]

Auckland, Minecraft, and dolphins
I never thought I’d be so pleased to see Auckland but I was very happy when my plane landed here yesterday. I had a really great time in Hawaii but Elizabeth struggled while I was away and so I struggled as a result. Daniel was fine though. He thinks my new job is wonderful because […]
