TIL about Eaglercraft, an illegal copy of Minecraft compiled to HTML5 using TeaVM and a custom opengl compatibility layer. That's pretty remarkable. It runs horribly and doesn't go beyond Minecraft 1.5, but it would definitely get the job done if you're trying to goof off when the teacher isn't watching.
Also, if one is not concerned about being cool enough to run the real Minecraft Java edition, Minetest is a similar game that has been ported to web browsers, and it runs a lot better than eaglercraft.
Mojang has also developed a clone of Minecraft Classic for HTML5, it supports invite-only multiplayer, but unfortunately for old players the lack of mass-multiplayer public servers has taken away most of the charm from Minecraft Classic, which is a surprisingly boring game without multiplayer (lava survival and classic capture the flag were some seriously fun custom game modes that we don't have anymore in the Minecraft ecosystem)
