A lot of the pictures of Eclipse have "Minecraft" as the name of the big project folder, but it should be "MDKExample" because a new version of the forge zip file came out. The images will need to be retaken with the new version.

In 1.9.4, some variables have become private,and to access the same info you must use accessor functions. Specifically, "event.minecart" must be replaced by "event.getMinecart()", and "event.source" must be replaced by "event.getSource()".

first paragraph -- text should note that all versions after 1.8.? keep the "src" kit in a file ending in "mdk.zip"

Most versions of MinecraftForge after 1.8 have no "src" kit. This kit has been replaced by the "mdk.zip" file.

In Forge 1.9.4, the code for text has changed significantly. The existing code fails to compile, and references now non-existent libraries. Here is the change: FROM event.getPlayer().addChatMessage(new ChatComponentText(EnumChatFormatting.GOLD + "You broke a block!")); TO TextComponentString str = new TextComponentString("You broke a block!"); str.getStyle().setColor(TextFormatting.GOLD); event.getPlayer().addChatMessage(str);

bottom, just before last paragraph

After clicking in two physical places with wooden axe, I issue /fillblocks 46 command and receive "You do not have permission to use this command". This happens in Single World creative mode with cheats on (whether opened to LAN or not). I've searched the book and can't find what I'm missing.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The command should work in creative mode, regardless of whether cheats are on or off. I just verified it, and in creative mode I could use it, but in all other modes it didn't work. Also, in my experience, it is impossible to get a "You do not have permission to use this command" message, because if you aren't in creative mode you won't be able to select the blocks in the first place. My only advice would be to check that you are in creative mode, because it should work there.
