is it illegal to download sounds from a game and use them on scratch?

is it illegal to download minecraft sounds (creeper sounds, walking, hitting tree's...) from a game and use them on scratch or is it for "educational purposes"?

You can use it, but you'll have to credit Minecraft and it cannot be used for commercial purposes.

Educational purposes would fall under Fair Use, so yes.
