In case you like minecraft, I just discovered this today
https://www.nostarch.com/programwithminecraft
"Learn to Program with Minecraft"

It uses a socket client written in 3.5 to interface to a minecraft 1.8 
socket server written in java 7.  One can at least do simple things like 
move the player, identify and place blocks, and put text in the chat box.
