Minecraft Textures for Colorblind and Dyslexics Available
Minecraft just became a lot more accessible for people suffering from color blindness. All thanks to an independent developer who is responsible for a special texture pack for colorblind users.
- Minecraft has just received a texture pack for colorblind people;
- The creator of the project is user StitchYYT;
- He intends to further improve his work and introduce new features not only for people suffering from color blindness.
Minecraft is a worldwide phenomenon that has not been accessible to some people, however. Players suffering from color blindness haven't been able to fully enjoy Mojang's sandbox. This situation has changed, however, thanks to the creator known as StitchYYT - he designed a special texture pack for colorblinds.
Creating the set called Faithless took him 8 months. During this period StitchYYT contacted colorblind people on Discord. With their support, he designed subsequent elements of the game so that they were easy to distinguish for colorblind users. This required the use of a new color palette, unique shapes for individual ores, and changes to the appearance of equipment.
The release of the pack met with a very positive response from the community. Reddit users praise the initiative, as well as the implementation of the project. Many people admitted that Faithless has become a reason to return to Minecraft for them.
In addition, the pack introduces a special font to the game, which makes it easier to read for people with dyslexia, as well as new textures of the Endu stone, which do not cause a negative reaction among players suffering from trypophobia. However, StitchYYT revealed that this is not the end of his work. In the near future, he intends to complete the pack with object textures that were added to the game in version 1.17.
In response to one of the comments on Reddit, the creator also revealed that he does not intend to stop at the version designed for Minecraft's java version. His plans already include trying to bring the Faithless pack to the Minecraft Marketplace, which would enable users of the Bedrock version of the game to benefit from the facilitation.
