About
Kiosk is a modpack that makes escaping Minecraft difficult. It does so by removing UI elements and keyboard shortcuts (like pressing <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>F4</kbd> or holding <kbd>F3</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd> for ten seconds). This modpack also hides onboarding (the "Welcome to Minecraft!" screen), warnings (e.g. the "Third-Party Online Play" warning), tutorial hints, and Minecraft Realms notifications. By default, Music, the Narrator, and its keyboard shortcut are turned off.

Notes
Keyboard shortcuts not specific to Minecraft (e.g. <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>F4</kbd>) are blocked by a compiled AutoHotkey executable that runs while the Minecraft instance is open. The intended method to escape Minecraft is by pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>\</kbd>. If a different method to escape Minecraft is found, please create an issue. Below is the `.ahk` that was compiled by AutoHotkey: ```ahk #NoTrayIcon #SingleInstance Force Persistent *LWin::Return *RWin::Return *!F4::Return *!Space::Return *!Tab::Return *^Esc::Return *^+Esc::Return *^!Tab::Return *!Esc::Return *AppsKey::Return *PrintScreen::Return *CtrlBreak::Return *Pause::Return *Help::Return *Sleep::Return *Browser_Back::Return *Browser_Forward::Return *Browser_Refresh::Return *Browser_Stop::Return *Browser_Search::Return *Browser_Favorites::Return *Browser_Home::Return *Volume_Mute::Return *Volume_Down::Return *Volume_Up::Return *Media_Next::Return *Media_Prev::Return *Media_Stop::Return *Media_Play_Pause::Return *Launch_Mail::Return *Launch_Media::Return *Launch_App1::Return *Launch_App2::Return *XButton1::Return *XButton2::Return *WheelLeft::Return *WheelRight::Return ^+::!F4 ```
