Minecraft Access: A World of Blocks, Blindness, and Brilliance 🌍💎 #MinecraftAccess #InclusiveGaming
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?).
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.

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. 😅
Yinglish (preview) for regular Minecraft 1.20.X+, so far I am at 400/787 words modified, but there's a little more to it this time than simple search and replace tactics. I need to manually scrub though this and change some phrases to fit a little better.

Today's new #Minecraft snapshot 24w35a is a pretty small one - it brings a lot of bug fixes, but also a neat new quality of life feature: Bee Nests and Beehives now show the amount of bees and their honey level in the inventory!
You can find the full list of changes as always on the #MinecraftWiki: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_24w35a

A long awaited day has finally arrived, Minecraft Wiki has moved from Fandom to https://minecraft.wiki.
We were able to bring a lot of improvements with this move including less ads, a new skin, faster load time and more.
Please visit https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecraft_Wiki:Moving_from_Fandom for details why we've made this decision.
Soon we will also share how YOU can help entire Minecraft community reach forked wiki.
Thank you to everyone who have helped making this a reality. ❤️
We are pleased to announce that our lengthy discussions regarding forking (moving) the wiki to a new host have concluded.
#Minecraft Wiki will be hosted by Weird Gloop, the same company hosting RuneScape wikis (https://runescape.wiki/) as decided by the community at https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Minecraft_Wiki:Moving_from_Fandom.
The process of moving will take some time, there is a lot of work to do, so we ask for your patience. We hope to bring you a wiki that Minecraft community can be proud of!
I am going to open #commissions for #Minecraft skins, but I first need to build a bit of a portfolio. So, I am opening 5 slots for only a loonie (CA$1), under the agreement that I am allowed to use your completed skin as an example in my portfolio in perpetuity.
You must provide: Some sort of reference image. It doesn't have to be a complete refsheet, nor do I need all angles (although the more the better). I can extrapolate, but I am not a character designer and will not design a character for you.
Here are the two skins that I can share as examples, which I have made for myself and family. Both of these skins (and some older ones) can also be viewed from any and all angles on my NameMC profile.
Note: I will never upload your skin to my Minecraft account (and therefore your skin will never appear on my NameMC profile).
