You'll see a GPLv3 license-agreement upon start, I wanted to be both clear and a cool kid so I added it. Upon accepting your total freedom of using Minecraftier it stores a settingsfile in /tmp so that you don't need to accept every time you run it. (only after each reboot, but that will be fixed soon)
More ideas when I get the time is to improve the ugly glyph-translator. It's something I threw together in JS rather quick. Also splitting up menus into several sub-windows might be something. Feel free to come up with ideas.
And enjoy Minecraftier!
