Hello! I have RP and I developed this mod to help me out while playing Minecraft, I hope this mod helps someone!

Edit: If you want to see a video showcasing how the mod works you can see it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6uRZQ_srmw

Hey,

Just as a quick note, this is really cool so far. I'm trying to figure out how to do looking with the keyboard, if possible, but suspect that will need another mod. It's great to be able to get a sense of what's around me even if I'm currently struggling a bit due to unfamiliarity and blindness.

Thanks, and I can't wait to see what else we might be able to do.

I would love your suggestions on how to navigate the world. Right now I'm working on using NVDA instead of the default narrator because it is very slow 😠

If you can use other screen readers that would be useful, though I'd worry it would be less portable. I play on Mac and the mod has the advantage of working on any system Minecraft will run on, which I appreciate.

I'll play with things in the next few days and let you know if I can think of anything useful. I'm not very familiar with the game so this is a learning experience for me too :)

Thanks for trying it out! The NVDA feature will only work on Windows, Linux and Mac will use their default narrator.

This looks pretty cool. :) I'm totally blind but will be grabbing it in hopes it will help me out.

The goal is to make it accessible enough to play blind.

This is really cool. I don't think it's enough for totally blind players, but for people who've got enough vision to at least make out where they're at, this is a literal game changer. I think what a lot of people would appreciate are speech controls to fine tune how fast or slow the voice is.

I want to make it fully accessible on the future, but right now I wanted to play to try to find ways to make it more accessible.

I want the narrator to talk faster too! I can't seem to find the settings yet.
