GNMC
gothic noir MineCraft
work is S L O W here at Ordo Octopia HQ simply because the team are hedonistic sexy people addicted to online grids ie; SecondLife and MineCraft.
After much debate about unavailability of gothic noir texture packs for MineCraft, the cat-69-tails was duly cracked and members set in action filling the hole.
We are currently developing the GN texturepack for MineCraft, as it costs a lot less to construct a reptilian cuboid environment than it does to run a sim on SL. Please don't mention OpenSim for mac, we are simple self-respecting folk who will need harder drugs than caffeine to cope with that amount of learning curve yet.

Our background agenda is to rapidly construct a 3D immersive experience using existing and available online grids, to figure out a few details about our own projects eg; tRust.
The MineCraft engine is perfect for that franchise since it involves high-tech digital-polymer environment dungeon crawls and intermittent deep jungle canyons.
We are learning as we go; the development of scorpion-squid hybrid monsters to inhabit GNMC as mobs will eventually follow as will a haunting ambient soundscape remixed from the oficial tRust soundtrack.
Here is some great stuff we found
while researching GNMC:
Film NoirCraft texturepack by RedXuchilbara download
(not work 1.7.5 mac)
Bladecraft texturepack by MrShortee download
(yes works 1.7.5 mac)
HalfCraft texturepack by JeroAnimo download
(not work 1.7.5 mac)
enough watching video's,
get to work!!!
what NOVASKIN is: http://www.minecraftlover.com/novaskin-web-based-skin-editor-and-texture-pack-editor-for-minecraft-1-4.html
get it from: http://minecraft.novaskin.me
this does it all:
not sure yet if it is compatible with 1.7.5,
it IS compatible with 1.6
it does both mac and pc
although it claims to have greater than 16x16 resolution capability, apparently it doesn't work, not for me anyway

R&D boss list
how to get higher res imagery on blocks
how to create new monster shapes & behaviour
how to upload .gif textures to MineCraft for animated blocks
how to add holographic projections emanating from blocks once activated
how to add youtube videos as panels
learn the new mods; copy/paste sections
how to make non-standard 3d objects such as those seen on youtube videos
ideas to suggest to MC developers:
blocks which have a function eg; project holo, display youtube, activate gif, once activated by redstone/switch/button
blocks that rotate, manually and also activated by: sun, water, redstone, wind. This combined with capacitor blocks (colour changes in layers as with stacking snow to create a full block, and is depleted over a duration of time - the same script can be used as for the number of hits it takes to break a block and add visual damage detail) act like limited duration redstone but can be charged up by elements or physical winding of them.

THIS is the link for MAC compatible 'convert 3D .obj to Minecraft'
Which is excellent since our company folders are full of 3D content.
March2014:
MC Realms has just opened
which makes it possible for uk8 pounds a month
to run a whole sim for a limited number of players (10).
