Why is minecraft blocked @ schools we should be able to play it @ lunch or something

.

That's odd. There's no reason to block Minecraft on School Computers.

The computers on our school is way too weak to handle any kind of games. :/

They obviously don't want kids playing games during school. Thus why pretty much every flash game website ever is also blocked. Do you have websense? It's also possible that your school uses the generic websense rules that every school does which bans all gaming websites and they didn't specifically block Minecraft.

Because Minecraft is a game.
You shouldn't actually be able to play it during lunch because lunch is for eating.

This? This is what you are choosing to complain about?
Seriously?

Bypass it with a proxy, At your own risk.

What the above users have said about proxies and such. Also, the majority of school computers are extremely weak, and most likely will not be able to run any sort of games, let alone Minecraft.

My highschool used to block the ports for the fad game in our time, Tibia. I would recommend HTTP tunneling. Send all your ports through port 80.

but hey, MC is fun in single player too (something tibia never had) so just throw it on a flash drive or something?

Minecraft is blocked at schools because it is a game, and they don't want you playing games when your supposed to be learning.

If you really want to, though, download this and put it onto a flash drive. (Use at your own risk, don't blame me when you get caught)

This country education budget sucks so most schools don't have computers, if they have they are all blocked

Kids these days don't know how good they have it. Back when I was a kid we had to make do with playing Oregon Trail at school. And that **** was real too... people died.

...can't you just use a proxy to get on it anyway?

Usually proxies are blocked, also.

With that being said I can't wait for that thing that was talked about a while ago about getting a version of Minecraft to be used at shools. I'm skeptical that it's even being worked on considering they haven't given any updates on the subject.

Ah, something like EduMinecraft? I'm not really seeing the point how this can learn something to Students though.

I think it was about using the features of the game to make it useful for learning and fun. Don't wanna go back 50 pages on the announcements to find it, too lazy.

Its not blocked at my school...
Out computers are not very weak either. There nomral computers, but just hate humans.

what i mean is you cant go on any servers you should be able to host a server
