Minecraft Forums

Yes... it kind of is. That is why it is called MS-DOS prompt in older versions of Windows... and it also uses most of the same commands... and it runs MS-DOS programs. (Full screen also worked before Windows Vista.)

You know like how Linux is based off of Unix?

No, you are wrong. The command prompt is based off the MS-DOS console, not MS-DOS itself. Windows is sort of based off MS-DOS.

The launcher isn't malware

People bring all sorts of stuff on flash drives. Schoolchildren with games on their drives are reasonably likely to pick up a virus at some point when pirating stuff; and there are people who pirate.

Oh and I need to objection you there. In the minecraft forums rules it state "all forums must be about minecraft" and everyone who has been on the minecraft forums knows that furies have nothing to do with minecraft.

Seeing as we are in the off topic section that rule is invalid. And due to this subsection, Culture, Media & Arts, this is the perfect place to have a thread about the furry fandom.

If you really want you can report the OP for talking about furry instead of Minecraft but you'll find that no action will be taken as this thread falls cleanly within the rules.

(creeped out)

Why creeped out? Furries aren't that bad.

Grey wolf. Definitely grey wolf. Canis Lupus.

Yeah it is a word wall and dragon from Skyrim. Its not of my own creation but it was too cool not to copy.

Well copying is good for practising.

Okay this is very, very nice work.
I particularly like the wall and dragon. Skyrim inspired?

If i decide to do that and it says i can't install instead of run i can run linux off of my flash drive

Most schools usually have a clause for both the installing and running of foreign software.

Quote from babbaj

I can read but i don't have a terms and conditions thing to read, can't find it on the website

They probably have it in the school, if in doubt ask the office. Check next time you go by the school.

I'm the good guy. Of course.

That looks like it might be a scythe. I think she her job is Death.

I install chrome and adblock on every computer i use if it doesn't have it already, never had any problems

Let me guide you to a certain part there:

never had any problems

You haven't had any problems so far. Problems can still happen. let me direct you now to something I mentioned earlier:

... you need to realise that the great majority of children ... will naturally assume things will not happen to them if they have gotten away with it before. ... Many of the people on this thread assume that they won't be caught in a legal issue or expelled simply because they have seen others doing it without trouble and they have managed without trouble.

At my current school that is what happens. People do whatever they like, mostly without consequences, on the PCs. Every so often though someone is caught by a teacher that actually bothers enforcing rules and they have their computer access stripped from them.

I ask you to please read your computer usage terms and conditions and obey them. If they don't have anything against installing foreign material then by all means continue but I highly doubt that. The large majority of schools do have an agreement in which you are not allowed to install programs of any kind; even browsers.

Good.

Quote from SteveCraftwood

Dinnerbone said on Reddit that after 1.9 it will probably go to 1.10, and 2.0 will be reserved for a really major update (Plugin API? Complete animation rewrite? RPG gamemode?)

Could you please source that? The official word is that there won't be a 2.0; even for Plugin API, animation rewrite, or RPG gamemode.

Quote from fm87

........... I cannot believe what I am reading in this thread.

Are you kids serious? Do you have any idea how completely stupid what you are doing is?

I would assume they don't have any idea.

Personally I always get permission if I want to do something with something other than the school provided software and I follow the school's computer usage contract to the letter; this way I can't get into legal trouble plus the teachers actually trust me.

fm87 you need to realise that the great majority of children, me included, will naturally assume things will not happen to them if they have gotten away with it before. Although I would like to say that I don't suffer from that flaw it would be a lie for me to say so. Many of the people on this thread assume that they won't be caught in a legal issue or expelled simply because they have seen others doing it without trouble and they have managed without trouble.

For anyone else reading: if a teacher tells you to do something or stop doing something you obey them unless there is a moral issue with it, in which case you should report to the school's principal or police depending on the nature of the issue.
