My brother has gotten games in the way of school (it starts tomorrow), and he plays Minecraft about 24/7, and I need a way to disable it, or at least only able to run it with a password. Is there a way to do this?

Like, encryption of sorts?
Yeah, kinda like that. Like, for example, it asks for an admin password whenever an Java app/applet is run.
It's my PC, mostly a shared PC with the family. I'm usually logged on because everyone's documents are stored there. I'm just wondering if I can control Java with my password.It is his PC or someone else's? If it's yours maybe enabling UAC in Windows 7? I've never really dealt with encryption....
Isn't that a little excessive?Format drive and install Gentoo or Arch. Make sure to do a install without a GUI. Your brother won't be able to play Minecraft as he won't know how to launch the game.

Windows has a Parental Controls feature that can block certain apps and other things.

You are asking people to use two distributions that need significant customization/set up before it is usable. With Gentoo, you even have to compile some of the programs on your own. Gentoo and Arch are not for Linux rookie.
Only a little.Isn't that a little excessive?
