I suppose it takes some rather... creative reasoning.
For example, perhaps the sparkplug's metal components are refined for the casing, the porcelain bit could be the projectile's core, the wood could be fermented and refined into some kind of explosive charge, and the feather could be used as some kind of packing material.
As for the booze embedded in stone, well think about the pack's theme. Some sort of time related catastrophy occoured, where time flowed differently in different areas. Perhaps milenniums of dust and dirt that settled on these bottles formed sedimentary rock around them. As for how the bottles were unharmed in that process... well, that's good craftsmanship for you, i guess.
A lot of it is a bit of a stretch, but everything is more or less explainable... usually.
I had a cool idea where fungus grew around the bottles and hardened. Also I don't really like the cobblestone, its too triangily?
A couple thoughts on how the bottles got embedded in the stone. Either a time vortex threw some gentleman's wine cellar back to prehistoric times, where they landed in a lava flow and got encased in the rock as the lava cooled (just think, a bottle of fine wine aged 3 billion years), or perhaps it got encased in concrete by some inattentive construction workers pre-catastrophy (and said concrete block weathered, got buried, etc).
I see what you mean, but it's actually the opposite. The ender pearl is thicker in the center, and thinner at the edges. It's meant to be a lens, actually.
I redid redstone wire. It's just a better version of what it was. Less orange, more beaten up.
There were supposed to be random ctm valves and patches and gauges and such on the straight bits, but it seems like ctm doesn't work on this sort of thing, i suppose since it's a decal and not a block.
Anyway, i'm looking for a fix, but if i don't find one, i'll use the textures i made for redstone ore i suppose...
Also, i've been less active lately, i know. It's because my mouse is pretty much dead right now, and was working intermittently, but right now is pretty much non operational at all. I've had to work on textures in just short bursts when my mouse feels like cooperating. But... it's just getting worse, and it will be a while before i can buy a new one. I've just spent all my money taking my cat to the vet. He's going to be fine, but my wallet didn't make it.
So until i can get some money together for a new one, the texture pack is pretty much on hold

Oh. I suppose I can see that. Still looks like a condom as well, though.
I dunno, I think the fact that the Slendermen are (apparently) carrying around condoms with them everywhere just makes them even creepier.

Looks pretty boss.
My prayers go out to you and your wallet in your time of grief, although that probably isn't worth much since I'm an atheist.
We had to pay for our dog to have surgery on a smashed pelvis (hit and run learner driver) and vets bills are astronomical at the best of times. Hope she/he is recovering ok.
The new redstone pipework is excellent! Also the new ore! Just a suggestion, but if you had the ore pipes more inline with each other, then they'd come in pretty handy for those who might like to use 'em as props for murky labs and secret bases, etc. They'd look like an old exposed plumbing system buried in the wall.
Hope you get your new mouse soon, but I'm still getting to grips with the idea that you've made so much quality artwork just using a mouse!

Great work...as always.
My cat is fine now, they never figured out what was wrong with him even with every possible test, so they fed him some antibiotics assuming it was cystitis, and that seemed to make him stop bleeding from every oriface, so that worked out. Oddly enough, the exact same thing that happened to your dog happened to this same cat in his youth. I never did find who did it, lucky for them, but he arrived home one day with all the bones in the rear of his body crushed. Amazingly enough, a plaster cast was enough to put him back together, and to this day he only has a bit of a limp.
The mouse however, didn't make it. Poor critter has served me well for the past few years, but he's got an incurable kink in his tail and shall have to be put down :(. I've ordered a new one though, which was rather financially irresponsible on my part, but at least i can work on my pack again.
I definitely see what you mean about the pipes. Aligning them is an excellent idea, and it will be pretty easy since they're just transparent overlays.
Though... i always assumed you use a mouse yourself, do you not?

No, I have a mid-range Wacom tablet and pen, but I'm sure I don't use all of it's capabilities, I just use it as a straightforward pencil and paper arrangement and ignore all the touch sensitive buttons on the side. It's excellent for some things, but I'd agree that the mouse still has more precision, or feels it, when it comes to cutting and pasting. The pen and tablet can get fiddly as heck and the side button is easily pressed at just the wrong moment, when you're trying to do a precision cut.
Poor cat! Yeah our dog was still only a pup, border collie, so mad as a hatter. My son had taken her to the park with a friend to play football on the last day of school. He'd let her off the lead in the middle of the park, thinking she'd be safe, but his friend set off home to get another ball and the dog ranged further and further from my son and suddenly decided to bolt after his friend, crossing a road on the edge of the park.
Bang! A commercial driving instructor style of car hit her at 30 odd mph and knocked her flying. My son who was only 13 at the time ran over and the driver just took off, leaving my son stuck in the middle of the road cradling his dog. Fortunately a kind lady stopped in her car and brought them home. We were due to go on a fairly expensive holiday we'd planned all year the next day, but ended up in the vets, then 50 miles away at a specialist veterinary center where they pieced her smashed pelvis back together. She wouldn't have survived with just a cast, because it had deformed and smashed so badly it was effecting her internal organs and back end. Within two weeks she was scampering around like a grey hound rounding up the hens down the garden! Amazingly resilient creatures...the dog I mean, not the hens!
Cost us half a holiday and nearly £3,000 quid vets fees...we didn't have pet insurance either! Expensive year that!
Sorry to digress!
Yeah, if you exploit the sunken pipework idea you've got, then you could add even more variants. Should look excellent, judging by what you've got there.

Yeah, my cat when he was crushed managed to drag himself home, his entire back end looking like a deflated bag. Somehow putting him in a cast was enough to fix his shattered bones. Cats i suppose are just very well made animals. Good to hear it all ended well... or, i suppose... somewhat well, with your dog.
But yeah, as for the pipes, i probably could do a bit more with it... horizontal ctm might even be a good idea, i could make the elbow ones and the crossed one as the sides, eliminate the horizontal one, and redo the center ones not to go into the stone at the edges so it all connects.

Retired StaffIt's a yellow marble type thing... The inside of the ender eye.
If anything, you might be thinking of the vacuum tube diamond.
No, the vacuum tube looks like a vacuum tube. That's fine. I am, in fact, talking about the yellow thing. The enderpearl. Looks like one of these:

Retired StaffI'll get to that when i finish the ores.
I was thinking it would be something like bellows... or an accordian looking thing.

Retired StaffIt will look so much better if i can get random ctm varients working on it. I have about half a dozen of them.

Retired StaffSince i can't random ctm the pipe bits in the ground, i used all the variants i had as the ore.
And i redid the torch so the color is a bit more fitting.
