You Can Now Boot a Windows 95 PC Inside Minecraft and Play Doom on it:
A new VM Computers mod has been created for Minecraft that allows players to order computer parts from a satellite orbiting around a Minecraft world and build a computer that actually boots Windows 95 and a variety of other operating systems.
[...] Within Minecraft you simply place a PC case block and then use it to create virtual hard drives to install operating systems from ISO files.
Naturally, the Minecraft community has been experimenting with the VM Computers mod, and someone has managed to get Doom running within Minecraft as a result.

I know most Minecraft players are idiots, but this is next level idiocy. Why the fuck would you pay for virtual obsolete computer parts?

Even better, they happily pay Microsoft a license fee for that virtual Windows 95. Millennials truly are the stupidest form of matter in the universe.

But will the VM run Minecraft?

Not if Windows 95 is involved!

Because it's fun and it has sort of become somewhat of a gag, it's sort of like the way back thing of "does it run linux", but there was also "does it run Doom". It's one of those things, sort of like Tetris, that just shows up on all platforms. Even platform that has no reasonable reason to run it in the first place -- or should be able to due to hardware reasons but some fanatic made it their work to optimize and squeeze everything out of it to make it run. In this case tho if it can't even run at a reasonable framerate then it's a bit of a failure really.

Well I thought the whole point of Minecraft was to build shit, not buy it pre-built.
Call me back when they have Doom running on a proper redstone computer in Minecraft.
Oh, and Doom don't need no stinking Windows 95 shite, DOS ran it far better anyway, a dumb boot loader that got out of the way and let the game hit the (386 / VGA) hardware to the max.

i agree. this is just "shadow puppets", 2D cut-outs on sticks moved by hands under the stage. "ogre-layers".
i suppose this just makes minecraft a "gui" to start a program that "layers" a window on screen?
i got excited and thought someone actually built a 386 CPU in minecraft ^_^

Can the Minecraft emulate a Beowulf cluster of these?
