Game mod pipes VirtualBox into virtual blockputers<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

A developer who goes by “Delta2Force” has created a Minecraft mod that runs virtual machines on virtual computers built inside Minecraft.<\/p>\n

The mod is called “MCVmComputers” and is yours for the downloading on GitHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The odd twist on virtualization relies on Oracle’s free VirtualBox<\/a> desktop hypervisor and the Fabric Minecraft modloader. You’ll also need an .ISO of the OS you intend to run dropped into [minecraft directory]\/vm_computers\/isos<\/code>.<\/p>\n

Then you’ll need to build a virtual computer inside Minecraft, a task apparently achievable by ordering parts from a passing Minecraft satellite.<\/p>\n

\n

Are you fixing that switch? Or setting it up as a Minecraft server?<\/h2>\n

READ MORE<\/a><\/div>\n

Virtual Minecraft computers have an On button, so a click on that and then on the virtual screen summons up a VM running whatever .ISO you’ve placed in the directory mentioned above .<\/p>\n

The virtual machine apparently runs well enough to play Minecraft, or to run Windows 95 or various Linuxes.<\/p>\n

Why bother with such frippery? The project’s README says: “I spent my whole quarantine working on this.”<\/p>\n

Time well spent, Delta2Force. Time well spent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
