Hmm, wow... So, is this really accessible to blind gamers? An audio review on how this works would be fantastic. I have no idea on how to get started, and I have no experience with mindcraft.

I think there are some rpg features with quests and stuff as well, but again I really don't know much about the game so a bit of explanation about Minecraft generally and this accessible server in particular might be very helpful.
heck, I actually deleted minecraft off this computer when I got it since as a heavily graphical game I didn't think it'd be something I particularly needed .
SLJ thank you very much for providing me the welcoming to this community.
Regarding the accessibly aspects. Relative to the industry standards of Minecraft servers our server is indeed more accessible compared to nearly all servers in the Minecraft gaming community.
Our accessibly features specific to the blind community includes features such as allowing the graphics to be easier to see (such as being bright in game at all time without impacting mob spawns for example), custom in game indicator of tools and armor durability, and bearing more audio input from the game.
So to put it shortly currently it accessible to those who may have difficulties seeing in game like myself. I for one can have much easier time looking at how much durability my gears have and being able to see the in game graphics far easier.
We do plan down the road however improving the accessibly of the game so that as many people as possible will be able to play this game to it's fullest.
However before we are able to do this we need to establish a foundation. So my friend Jake4252 recommended I seek out here for people who may have residual vision to start assembling such a foundation.
Does this help everyone understand where we are at and where we intend to take this?
Niklas wrote:hi, sounds interesting. Can I use the accessibility Features offline as well and can the single Player modes of minecraft be used as well? Or are you focusing on the multiplayer aspect on the Server only?
Of course! Simply follow all of the steps except the final step which explains how to join the server.
If your needing help with setting this up for your own enjoyment you just let me know!
If anyone need clarifications or need anything else just do let me know!
Thank you all for all of these feed backs and we are always looking for further feed backs and interested people!
