Psalm 42
To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.
Zeal of David to Serve God
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, where is thy God?
When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted withing me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
Then considerest thou a passage from the esteemned Saint John:
These words spake Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy son, that thy son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true god, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
When I was but a babe in Minecraft and didst not know the difference between a creeper and a tree, I was felled many times by said creeper when dost he splode.
And yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the spider, wast surprised, I, when dost he rose from the sides and smote me, and smote me til I fell many cubes to the cruel ground.
And remebrest thou thine skeleton, who, from range smote at me through the open window of mine house with the quick arrows.
I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me: and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Just as the temple that thou dwellest in, thine myriad of chests and storage devices, and the minecart thou didst ride through the darkness of the deep until several furlongs of cubes surpassed, into the frothy deep and arisen upon the banks of a distant beach; the wooden monstrosity thou didst construct that thou livest and be safe from those with harm on thy minds: thou didst keep them under thy wing of protection. And we are one.
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they my may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
And to all the voyagers of the ship that is Minecraft be honor, and glory, and power, and glory as they givest unto the highest God the truth of Minecraft and the love. For we are Minecrafters forever, and we lovee thee, O Father!!
I've always considered Minecraft as a spiritual journey. The creative experience and the survival experience in a world completely alone and set apart for a single individual, namely me, having the ability: I create, love, and build.
I make the case and build upon the case that Minecraft is indeed an important investment in the life of a believer in Jesus Christ. Namely, mine; mine is the life involved heavily in The City Construction Challenge of my life, that were not possible had I never had training in the blessed ways of Minecraft.
Nevertheless, I want to build up the community and those who believe in the religion of Minecraft, and who see the need to share their faith with the people of a pious and generally unaccepting church populace. My goal here is the conversion of the church to the ways of Minecraft, which may seem entirely awkward, but entirely necessary.
Notwithstanding, I wish to share with my brothers and sisters of the faith in Minecraft:
A passage from Hebrews 6, preaching to the absolutely holy of this generation of Minecrafters:
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgement. And this will we do, if God permit. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringing forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could sware by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men verily sware by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
And as for you Minecrafters, and us, let us go boldly into the church and declare the true and righteous ways of Minecraft, as will I: and I have done and was meeted with difficulty. But you who are the faithful of Minecraft and the followers of Jesus: there is hope that Minecraft will become acceptable to those in the church, and indeed it is also acceptable unto me. But also remember that if one of your brothers considers Minecraft sinful, don't make him fall, or cause him to fall because he believes not in the ways of Minecraft. For in the same way there is one greater who accepts your profession of Minecraft: Jesus who is called Christ.
plus I've been thinking if this challenge could be incorporated to the city construction challenge because I happen to be on the castle-building stage, even if my spawn point already has a large town on it with towers and a big cobblestone wall?
For the redstone block: What about a sort of control cube with spinny buttons and gears and lights, a lot like the texture for the jukebox with its greenish color? Then you could have a central processing station, or a really cool accessory for say, the helm of an airship.
I'd like to ask for an alternate colored cloth extra texture pack, having all of the primary colors. And then you could color the textures you already have for cloth to the corresponing vanilla textures.
Edit: Oh hey I found that you already have that one!
Okay so I absolutely love the pack! But as soon as I get it downloaded the new snapshot comes in and I'm back to default. Please update as soon as possible!
Tried the mod again today with 1.4.5 and it is really laggy now, I don't know for sure what causes the lag because it wasn't there when I first loaded the mod.
As of currently, no, there is no Texture Packs compatibility for this mod as of the moment. Though you can ask Texture Pack Creators or Fans of the texture pack and this mod to create texture support for the two.
Sphax PureBDCraft supports the mob eggs and changes the texture and color for each one.
I haven't been able to have the mod work with the new 1.4.6 pre-release and it goes to black screen. There's also a huge lag spike now that wasn't there before, but I think that may just be Forge acting up. I tried loading and reloading. I even down graded my texture pack to the 32x version down from 64x. But the problem presented itself today, as it was working fine yesterday.
