Minecraft is a good example of how, as a student of Java (or any programming language for that matter), you will benefit from having a personal project that's important to you. Don't just do CodeGym tasks. I'm going to guess that a lot of people here have that "game I always wanted to make" in the back of their heads somewhere. If you're this far in CG, you should be able to get started with that (just be aware that CG hasn't really taught anything about graphics yet, you'll have to look up how to work with JFrame and Swing). I have a project that goes back 20 years that I originally started writing in a different language, and since starting CG, I've been looking into reviving that project with Java. Done some fooling around already with setting up object hierarchies and generating some randomized results.
It's fun! And when it's fun, you're more likely to want to spend more time working on it.
