Playing Minecraft BLIND?! (Checking out Minecraft’s accessibility settings)

You guys have any questions that you want me to answer comment them down below and I will make you a eventually so anyways so this video is going to be kind of different than my normal videos I think it’s an important video let me

Just get into it so as we know there are people who play Minecraft or any other game that have visual impairments I think it’s pretty neat that minecraft makes accessibility settings that can help people with visual impairments a little fun fact for you guys that you

May not know I myself have a visual impairment I am not fully blind but I am considered legally blind so I can still see just not I really I’m not sure how to explain it basically a lot of people try to describe it online on websites people with 20/20 vision have HD vision

And people with what I have have not HD vision and it’s really hard to explain I’m not really sure how to explain it to people when they ask because I’ve had in my whole life um so I have albinism and that can affect your eyes and it can

Also affect your skin so a lot of you may not know this either but I am also albino so I have really blonde hair really really pale skin my eyebrows and my eyelashes are white but so basically a mine affected my eyes too so my vision

Is considered legally blind I do not see detail I guess you could say that’s the only way I can explain it myself um so I can’t tell like eye colors or like what things say far away or what’s on things that are far away um that type of thing

Also with Sun and like light if the light is bright enough and someone is in front of it I will not see them at all I’ll just see their silhouette or their shadow so that’s a little fun fact about me you guys may not have known so for me personally

I did not know about these accessibility settings until like two weeks ago and it’s pretty funny because I’ve been playing minecraft for a very long time and what I use is a magnifying glass I’ve had it for a really long time it’s a certain it’s like a dome shape it’s my

Favorite so I have not changed my settings to these Minecrafts accessibility settings because I’m just so used to my magnifying glass but I found them and I thought they were actually pretty neat and a lot of people may not know about them so I’m here to

Show you guys them so it’s gonna be a short video I’m sorry but if you like this type of video and you want to know more of what I do in Minecraft to help me let me know and I will make another video I might make another video anyways

Because some people may not want to ask but I’m gonna stop talking now and I’m gonna show you what’s happening online craft okay so as you can see I typed a few things in chat just so we have it they’re ready to use so we’re gonna go to our options and accessibility

Settings which is like RIT literally right there and I did not know this I don’t know if it’s new or what so you can turn on a narrator so this will narrate everything so also if you don’t want to click the option right away you

Want to know what it says first you can right click it so I’m gonna click that and we’re gonna go back to the game okay so it’ll tell you basically what you’re doing I can say hi in chat say hi um it lets you know when you open your edit box

It lets you lets you know when you open your inventory Earley bear says I have a fabulous day so there you go it talks to you I think that’s pretty neat especially for someone who has a worse visual impairment than I do I have to use my

Magnifying glass to read the chat but some people may not have a magnifying glass to help them so this is a really great option that minecraft has for them and you can turn it on to where only nerds chat narrate system blocks that kind of thing this one is

The background occup a city up I always say occupy CT the background I’ll Pat opacity you can turn all the way to 100 and if you see here it makes the background completely black and me personally I like this better I just don’t keep it like this because again

I’m not used to it I use my magnifying glass if I didn’t have my magnifying glass I probably wouldn’t use this because it makes it easier to see I personally like to have black backgrounds with white lettering I don’t like to have black lettering with a white background I know some people like

It vice versa but this way is actually better for me so I feel like it might help a bunch of people to also let me get back here let me change it back I don’t know why mine’s at 42 it’s just something random I found this just

Closes your chat turns it off or whatever you have subtitles which this is for if I broke a block black placed it tells me footsteps that kind of thing black placed you know it does all that okay so I think the narrator is probably best just for chat and it will read to

You what people are saying so if you don’t want to read the chatter if it’s hard for you to read the chat then that’s a good option for you and the background having it dark like that is pretty neat I like that a lot you could have the text background everywhere and

Then you go back here and you also have auto jump I don’t like that might be good for someone with a visual impairment because sometimes I know I when I am running and you have all these high grasses here it’s kind of hard to tell when the next jump is so like look

At I kind of just flops you up there all by yourself so that’s also pretty neat I still have my narrator on as you can see good steps just sing footsteps sell that fun stuff so there’s that and then let me turn that off I’m just so not used to

It so I don’t use it a lot you can also go into your chat settings right here and you can change a bunch of this stuff that just says the chat shown you have links on this is the opacity of the chat I just showed you guys that the scale so

I have my scale all the way up at a hundred percent and sometimes I wish it could go bigger but I don’t think it does but if you had your skill here that’s how tiny your chat is and whoever has their chat that small I give you

Props because I can’t even imagine like that so mine’s always at 100 so the chat background this is also pretty neat um so you can have it compact where the backgrounds only on every single thing that’s typed I personally do not like that I feel like it makes it a little

Harder to read so I keep mine on default and default as you can see is where it’s like this I like that better some people may not but that’s that again you have your narrator you can keep colors on or off I keep mine on though some people colors might

Bother their eyes so they can turn them off if they want so that’s a good option the text background opacity again I just showed you guys that where you can make it all the way black or how I have it is where you can kind of see through it you

Can change the width of it and that kind of fun stuff let me see here for video settings I like to keep my brightness all the way up that just helps me you know in dark darker caves I feel like in dark caves if I don’t have torches my I

Have to squint and it hurts my eyes and I feel like that’s not just for people with visual impairments it’s for everyone but brightness does help me a lot and my brightness on my computer is pretty much all the way up it’s pretty much all I have there to show but yeah

That’s it’s a short video like I said there’s not many options accessibility options but the ones that they do have I do think they are very helpful again if I did not have my man fine glass I probably would use some of these but I don’t have to at this moment

In time but some people again don’t have a magnifying glass or they don’t have contacts or glasses that can help them see the screen or that kind of thing so I think that’s very helpful but yeah you guys that’s pretty much all I have for you also another thing that I

Like to use that you can download is Optifine and I’m sure a lot of you know my Optifine is you have that zoom option I find that very very helpful in some cases but if you guys enjoyed this video let me know and I’ll make another one I

Will probably make another one of tips and tricks that I use in game to help me so like things that I can’t see in that type of thing what I do to help myself so if you guys enjoy it leave a like and subscribe if you are not subscribed

Already and I will see you guys next time bye
