MINECRAFT: REACT MODE
What time is it?
React Time!
Here's your host, ShiningHopeBeast!
Hey, everyone! Welcome back once again to another episode of Minecraft: React Mode! I'm Shining, your host, and it's time to get started!
Once again, we've received such wonderful suggestions from our viewers. Today we've chosen the idea from-
Miragold123!
Congratulations! And our react today will be featuring-
Real life animals!
And now for our guest stars. With a new record of THREE votes, first, we've got the fiery warrior- Petra!
Petra strides onto the stage confidently, beaming and waving to the crowd. She towers over Shining as the smaller girl claps for her.
Next up, also with three votes, here's the hilarious YouTuber- StampyCat!
In a way somewhat resembling how Radar first appeared, Stampy quickly walked onto the stage, waving enthusiastically at his fans.
And with a total of TWO votes, we welcome back the former ninja master- Ivor!
Ivor scampers onto the stage, waving both hands at the audience wildly. As he stops next to Stampy, he gives a polite nod.
"It's nice to see you again . . . SturdyCat, was it?"
Stampy bursts out into laughter. (If you don't know what Stampy's voice and/or laughter sounds like, go look it up like RIGHT NOW! Then come back and finish the episode.) "SturdyCat! Heh, heh, heh!" He doesn't answer Ivor's greeting as his chuckles die out. Ivor looks at him weirdly before shrugging and turning away.
Alright, time to hear some opening remarks from our guest stars!
Petra: "This will be . . . interesting . . . (especially with the three of us together)."
Ivor: "I am- what's the word for it- ah! intrigued to see how this episode goes."
Stampy: "Helllooo, this is Stampy, and welcome back to another episode of Minecraft: React Mode!"
Shining side-eyes him.
Um, that's my job.
"Oh, really?" he asks. "Well then, I'll try not to do it again."
Anyways, let's get on with the show!

Welcome back to this episode of Minecraft: React Mode!
Hey! Announcer guy! You're back from vacation! We've missed you! Now we don't have to use the pre-recorded opening, and I don't have to do your job for you!
Thanks, Shining! But now it's time to reveal to our guests what they will be reacting to this time!
Right! Because what time is it?
React Time!
The curtain behind Shining opens, revealing two screens side by side. Two pens are on the ground beneath each screen, a sign on each one. On the left in bright letters is the word:
MINECRAFT
And on the other pen, the words:
REAL LIFE
In the middle is a sign bearing two bold letters:
VS
So today you all will be reacting to real life animals! But we've got a special little game for you guys. You'll be playing the game:
Minecraft Versus Real Life!
The game's title also flashes on the screens, split in half by the natural gap between them.
Take it away, announcer guy.
My pleasure, Shining.
In this game, you'll need to match up different Minecraft animals with real-life animals before time runs out! Some of these will be pictures on the screen while others will be here physically in the pens (don't ask how we'll be able to take Minecraft animals and put them into the real world)! All the real-life animals will be on one side, and the Minecraft animals on the other side. Get an answer right, and you will gain an extra five seconds added to your remaining time! Get an answer wrong? Three strikes and youuuu're out. So are you up for the game- Minecraft Versus Real Life!?
Petra looks confident. "We've got this!" she affirms, pumping a fist in the air.
Ivor raises an eyebrow. "I don't believe this will be a difficult feat," he comments, crossing his arms.
Stampy grins. "Ooh, I hope there are cats!" Petra wrinkles her nose at the idea but doesn't say anything.
Shining takes the lead again.
Alright, let's get started then!
We have chosen 14 different pairs of animals for you to match. You have a starting total of three minutes to complete each match. Are you ready?
"Yeah!" Petra and Stampy cheer. Ivor nods quite seriously.
Okay! The game starts in:
3,
2,
1,
GO!
Each screen fills with seven different pictures. Each pen fills with seven different animals, their calls and noises filling the whole place. The game is beginning. The bottom corners of the two screens indicate the number of successful matches, which, at the moment, is zero. At the top of each screen, the timer is counting down the seconds.
03:00
02:59
02:58
Ivor quickly begins to scan all fourteen choices before acting further. Petra immediately begins pointing out matches she sees. She points to the right pen first.
"Oh! That must be a real-world chicken!" She then gestures to a picture of a chicken on the left screen. "And there's a typical Minecraft chicken."
Ding! The timer flashes green as five seconds are added to it. The zero changes to a one.
02:58
02:57
02:56
Stampy cheerily indicates a tamed Minecraft cat, perching on the fence of the left pen. "Oh look, there is a cat!"
"But where's a real-world cat?" Ivor questions, looking over to the right.
"Hey, you guys!" Petra shouts, pointing respectively to the two pens. "There is an obvious pair here- the Minecraft horse and real-life horse!"
Ding! 2
02:43
02:42
02:41
Ivor ignores her. "Ah! There! That must be a real-life cat!" He indicates a fluffy Persian licking her paw as she rests on one of the fence posts.
"Awww," coos Stampy. "It's such an adorable cat!"
Petra shudders. "Who knew that real-world cats could give me the creeps even more than Minecraft cats?"
Ding! 3
02:41
02:40
02:39
"Parrots!" Stampy points to two pictures, one on the left and the other on the right. "I'm the parrot prince!"
Ding! 4
02:42
02:41
02:40
Then Ivor looks strangely at one of the unnamed animals in the Minecraft pen. "That llama looks familiar . . ." he began, scratching his chin in thought.
Petra follows his eyes. "No. Way." she mutters.
Stampy looks over as well. "Is that llama wearing . . . a scarf?" he questions, clearly puzzled.
"It's LLUNA!" both Ivor and Petra exclaim at once.
Lluna, on her part, simply lies down in the pen and grunts softly.
"Wait a minute, isn't that the llama that used to belong to Stella? I think I recognize her! I've seen her around Beacontown with Jessie!"
Whoops. Totally didn't mean to abduct Lluna. Well, I guess she kinda counts as a guest star, right?
No one pays attention to Shining, instead finally continuing with matching.
"A bat!" Petra points to the Minecraft screen.
"And there's the real-world one!" Ivor chimes in, pointing to the opposite screen.
Ding! 5
02:23
02:22
02:21
"That weird one must be a squid," says Petra, indicating a picture on the Minecraft screen.
"And there's a Minecraft squid!" shouts Stampy.
Ding! 6
02:29
02:28
02:27
"There's a Minecraft rabbit on the screen," observes Ivor. "Do you see one on the real-world side?"
StampyCat squints at the screen as Petra Combs through the pen with her eyes. It takes her a few seconds before spotting it. "Aha! There!"
"It looks so soft and fluffy!" Stampy exclaims. "And much less wild than the bunnies in our world, that's for certain!"
Ding! 7
02:24
02:23
02:22
You're half-way there! And with more than half the time remaining!
"What an interesting coloration of cow," Ivor muses, looking at the cow picture on the real-world screen. "It's pattern seems to be more black on white than white on brown . . ."
"No time for admiring, Ivor!" Petra jostles him. "Look, there's a picture of a Minecraft cow!"
Ding! 8
02:20
02:19
02:18
"Hmm, I've never seen an animal look like that before," comments Stampy. Petra follows his gaze to a fluffy little shih tzu, yipping as he raises onto his hind legs and scratches against the fence.
"What a racket that tiny thing is creating," scowls Ivor. He proceeds to cover his ears with his hands.
"I'm guessing its a kind of wolf, maybe a tamed wolf/dog?" Petra says carefully.
"And there's a Minecraft tamed wolf in the pen," Stamp points out.
Ding! 9
02:08
02:07
02:06
That's it! You've got it guys! Only five more to go!
"Oh, it's a Minecraft sheep!" Petra notes. The sheep answers with a loud baaa!
Ivor peers at the real-world pen. "I see something wooly, just like a sheep, but, it has a black body."
"I would go for it!" responds Petra.
Ding! 10
01:58
01:57
01:56
Ivor's face darkens. "That infernal braying from that donkey is driving me insane!" he yells, pointing an accusing finger at a Minecraft donkey in the pen.
Stampy points to the real-world pen. "It's coming from here as well!"
Petra frowns. "But there are two of the same thing in the real world pen! That's not right!"
"No, they're different! One is a donkey, and the other is a mule!" Ivor interjects.
"Then which one is which?"
"That one's the donkey and that one's the mule." He points respectively to the one he is referring to. "Wait! Maybe it's that one is the donkey and that one is the mule!"
"Well make up your mind already, Ivor! We're wasting time here!" Petra complains impatiently.
"I can't remember!" Ivor shouts in frustration.
"Then just guess!" Petra retorts.
"Why don't you do it, if you're so keen on it!?"
"Fine! That one's the real-world mule! And that's the Minecraft mule!" She points to the aforementioned animal.
Bwramp! A huge red X flashes across both screens before shrinking into a corner.
Strike One!
Shining looks way too cheerful as the guest stars begin quarreling.
"You fool! It's a Minecraft donkey, not a mule!" Ivor shouts.
"How was I supposed to know!?" Petra shoots back.
01:10
01:09
01:08
"I had already said before that it was a donkey!" Ivor clutches his robes, frustrated. "You should have listened to me!"
"If we waited to listen to you, we'd run out of time!" Petra yells.
One minute remaining!
Shining grins as her reminder snaps the two out of their argument. Stampy doesn't deal with the pressure well, though.
"PANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANIC!"
Ivor and Petra ignore the YouTuber as he flies across the stage shrieking, his arms flailing around above his head.
"Fine. I'll listen to you," Petra concedes. "But please try to hurry."
Ivor nods before staring at the two animals with undivided attention, thinking hard.
00:45
00:44
00:43
"That is a Minecraft donkey," Ivor states calmly. "And that is a real-world donkey." His finger is steady and sure as he points.
Ding! 11
00:46
00:45
00:44
"Yes!" Petra exclaims. "So that one's a mule, and that picture is a Minecraft mule!"
Ding! 12
00:47
00:46
00:45
Two more to go!
'"What haven't we done yet?" asks Petra, scouring the options.
Stampy skids to a stop next to her, his panic attack finally at an end. "We haven't matched pigs yet," he says, somehow quite calmly, while pointing to a real-life picture of a pig.
They all look to the Minecraft side to see a pig near the front of the pen, snuffling softly. After they hold a small moment of silence, Stampy finishes the pair. "And that's a Minecraft pig."
Ding! 13
00:40
00:39
00:38
All you need is one more!
"But what's the final match?" Petra asks, furrowing her eyebrows as she looks at the screen. "I can't think of what pairing we haven't done yet."
Thirty seconds!
Stampy goes back into his panic mode.
"PANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANIC!"
"Think, Petra, think!" she berates herself.
Ivor retraces their steps out loud. "First we did chickens, then the horses, then the cats. Afterwards we paired the parrots, then Lluna, then squid-"
"Wait a second," Petra interrupts him. "Did we do Lluna?
Fifteen seconds!
"PANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANICPANIC!"
Ivor's eyes widen. "We didn't!"
Petra scrambles to find the real-world llama. "Ah! There! On the screen!" She points to the picture of a llama. "And that goes with Lluna!"
As if knowing her importance, at this Lluna rises to her feet with a bleat, raising her head high.
Ding! 14
The clock stops.
00:05
Congratulations, you guys! You won our little game of Minecraft Versus Real Life!
So how to you all feel? What did you think about the differences between Minecraft animals and real life animals?
Petra shrugs. "I can definitely see he resemblance between most of them. Except for maybe the cats and the dogs."
Ivor squints. "It was quite a stressful game," he says. "But it was also quite fascinating to compare and contrast on a surface level."
Stampy slides to a stop on the other side of Shining. "Yes, it was quite very stressful, but also quite fun!" He grins.
Alright everyone, I think that's about all the time we have for today's episode! Time to say goodbye to our guest stars!
Petra crosses her arms and gives a cool half-grin as Ivor chuckles and waves. As the curtain closes Stampy calls out:
"Byyyyeee!"
Shining giggles before continuing.
Okay, business time.
Once again, to joseph (Guest):
To answer your question, I am citing Romans 1:21-27: "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."
So basically, mankind is not born to be homosexual or transgender- it is "against nature"- but because humans refused to see the truth of God in His creation and thought themselves wiser than God. Mankind tried to make God into a mortal image- trying to make the Creator a created and an inferior being. Because of our foolishness, God allowed us to be susceptible to the wickedness of our hearts and participate in unnatural activities. (This leads to punishment as stated in verse 27, i.e. STD's.) Also, the belief that one is homosexual or transgender can come from their thinking- anyone can convince themselves of it if they fantasize or obsess over it- but we are not naturally born that way.
About being sinners, everyone is a sinner both by birth and by choice. We inherited our sin nature from Adam and Eve, the first humans on Earth, who disobeyed God's commands and cursed mankind for eternity. Adam and Eve were not sinners by nature when they were created, but by choice- if any of us were in their position, we would still sin by choice as they did. That sin nature they passed down lives in everyone. Everyone on Earth chooses to disobey God's laws- no one is perfect, everyone sins. This is why mankind denied God's truth in creation, and thus we come back to the distortion of LGBT. Yet God still loves us, which is why He sent His Son to die for us. And having been redeemed by His sacrifice, I show the same love He showed for me to those around me. Even sinners are made in the image of God, and their souls are precious and should not be lost.
Now don't get me wrong-I am no theologist. I don't know too much. But I know enough to defend my faith and justify and correct my actions using the Bible. I did look at an article for inspiration, so you could check the link to it on my profile.
If you would like to continue discussing these questions, I would be glad to answer as best as I can. However, it is taking up a lot of time from the episodes, so I will be keeping things a bit shorter from now on. If you had an account and could PM me, then I would love to go more into depth with you.
AAAANYWAYS, for everyone, I would like to thank you all so much for joining us on another episode of Minecraft: React Mode! Thanks for all of the support that you guys have been giving to the show. Don't forget to send in suggestions and vote on the poll to keep this show running, and to keep it fun for all you viewers!
Oh, and, as always, we do not own Minecraft: Story Mode, Minecraft, or Telltale Games.
Thanks once again, have a great week, and we'll see you next time!
ITNOJ- SHB 😉
