Oleg<p>Minecraft Access: A World of Blocks, Blindness, and Brilliance 🌍💎 <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/MinecraftAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MinecraftAccess</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/InclusiveGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>InclusiveGaming</span></a></p><p>Seven years ago, I lost my sight—and with it, I thought I’d lost the chance to play Minecraft. Back in my sighted days, Minecraft was my escape hatch to infinite creativity. Build a castle? Sure. Survive the night? Done. Accidentally set your house on fire because you put lava in the wrong place? Look, we’ve all been there.</p><p>But when I lost my vision, Minecraft felt like a closed door. And while games might not be life’s top priority, let’s admit it—they’re a fantastic way to unwind. Losing that world stung.</p><p>That’s where Minecraft Access comes in. It’s a mod that makes the game accessible for blind players. Sounds amazing, right? When I first tried it four months ago, though, things didn’t go as planned. I wandered aimlessly, got hopelessly lost, and rage-quit before a creeper even had the chance to blow me up. But yesterday, armed with more patience (and probably less sanity), I decided to give it another go.</p><p>And you know what? This time, I crushed it. Well, not literally—I didn’t fall into lava, for once! I set up an underground base, complete with a wheat farm and an infinite water source. I mined iron, found diamonds (yes, diamonds! I’m rich!), and lit up my surroundings so mobs wouldn’t spawn. Because let’s be honest, nothing says “bad day” like being smacked by a zombie you can’t even see.</p><p>So how does this all work? Minecraft Access narrates the block in your crosshair, tells you its position, and makes inventory and crafting fully accessible. I navigate with ASDW keys, craft like a pro, and honestly, I feel like I’ve rediscovered a part of myself I thought was gone.</p><p>Of course, it’s not all smooth sailing. Navigating the terrain is like playing a guessing game where the prize is not falling into a ravine. And while I can build functional stuff, making it visually appealing? Let’s just say my creations won’t win any beauty contests. But hey, I can still mine, explore, and survive—and that feels like magic.</p><p>The real heroes here are the developers of Minecraft Access. Turning a game this visual into something a blind player can enjoy is a Herculean task. They’ve done something incredible, and they deserve all the praise (and maybe some pizza, because who doesn’t love pizza?).</p><p>If you’re curious or want to say thank you to these legends, check out their GitHub page or hop on their Discord. They’ve made Minecraft a world for everyone, and that’s worth celebrating.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/khanshoaib3/minecraft-access" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/khanshoaib3/minecra</span><span class="invisible">ft-access</span></a></p><p>Minecraft has always been about endless possibilities. Thanks to this mod, those possibilities now extend to players like me. Who knows? Maybe I’ll even build a castle someday... if I can figure out where the stairs go. 😅</p><p><a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/BlindGamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BlindGamer</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/GamingWithoutLimits" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GamingWithoutLimits</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Minecraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Minecraft</span></a></p>

Ed Worrell<p>Random thoughts this morning: “Ensuring games are accessible to blind players is crucial, but let’s not forget about casual gamers! They’re looking for an easy, seamless experience - not hours spent adjusting settings. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AccessibilityInGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AccessibilityInGaming</span></a> should mean simplicity and fun for everyone.

SUZ<p>I get to present games to a new audience... and in selecting games not only am I looking for ones that fit the thematic criteria - but I am also looking at who the designers/publishers are to ensure I'm promoting great <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/BoardGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoardGames</span></a> from great folks.</p><p>Prioritizing <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/InclusiveGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InclusiveGaming</span></a> can be as small of an action as being mindful when you have the opportunity to spread the hobby.
