What happened to me in minecraft?

I was playing minecraft pc and i decided to go in a cave when my game started looking different the cave was surrounded with black blocks and i saw pictures of items in minecraft like a diamond pick and wooden shovel. And on one of the blocks i saw herobrines face. Now i freaked out and destroyed the world input the same seed and thought it was a bug but it happened again only that all of the blocks had herobrines face so i decided to stop using the seed this happened around update 1.4.7 i did end up using it in 1.5 and it was gone but i still wonder what happened. Know there are no videos about it and i don't expect you to believe me but it really did happen and it would make my day if you guys tell me if it was a glitch or a bug. And before people say did you have a mod installed no i did not. Hope someone tells what it was and thanks

Minecraft - Why won't my airship fly?

I have the yogbox mod pack and i have built an airship with a 3x4 clear glass floor, 2 fence posts in each corner (so 8 fence posts) and 11 balloons plus the ship marker. I can sit in it by right clicking and i can slide forwards and backwards using awsd but i can't go up or down with space, shift, x, or y. Iv tried loading fuel (coal) by right clicking on it with the coal and pressing e whist sat in it but all it does is bring my inventory up and i still can't fly.

How to download mods on Minecraft?

I know from watching so many other videos that you obviously need the.bin file. But when i go to minecraft on my finder (its a mac). I can't seem to find the.bin file in minecraft. But i can see resource packs, saves, logs, and mods. I have tried repeatedly to put the mod i want (the lucky block mod) in that mod folder but it won't work. I have also downloaded forge but it still did not work.
