Description

Blind Accessibility (Minecraft Access)

Minecraft Access is a Minecraft mod that specifically helps visually impaired players play Minecraft. It is an integration and replacement for a series of previous mods. This mod primarily borrows the help of a screen reader to describe (narrate) the game interface, and incorporates sound cues to provide orientation perception in this 3D world. Currently, this mod has enough features to help visually impaired players play the game normally.

This mod has available versions for:

• Game version 1.19.3, 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.1, 1.21.4.
• On the Fabric and NeoForge mod loaders
• On Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems

Whenever the code is updated, the corresponding latest snapshot version will be published in the Playability Discord server. After gathering enough changes and feedback for making sure there is no serious bug, a tagged version will be released on GitHub, Modrinth and CurseForge.
