Minecraft Access Configuration

This page contains all the configuration that controls the features on-off and behavior.

The configuration can be modified in two ways: via the config menu or directly editing the configuration file. The Config Menu can be opened via opening the Narrator Menu (press F4) then click Open Config Menu button. The configuration file (named as config.json) can be found in the {minecraft directory}/config/minecraft_access/ directory. You can use notepad or any text editor to edit the file. You can also use online json editor like Json Editor Online, Json Formatter or Code Beautify Json Online Editor.

If you want to reset the config back to default values, simply delete the configuration file while the game is not running, or click Reset Config button in the Config Menu.

The Targets config can only be configured in config.json file. Values are written in Minecraft resource location format, the so-called "snake_case" (consists of lowercase letters with underscores). For example, the White Bed is written in "white_bed". There are lots of exceptions, the "Smooth Quartz Block" is written in "smooth_quartz", the "Block of Diamond" is written in "diamond_block", so please check the correct values in this wiki link (expand to show the list by clicking "Blocks[show]" then "Item form's ID[show]").

Inventory Controls

Configuration	Default Value	Description
Enabled	true	Whether to enable this feature
Auto Open Recipe Book	true	Automatically opens the recipe
book on opening the inventory (in creative/survival inventory screen and crafting screen)
Row and Column Format in Crafting Input Slots	"%dx%d"	The speaking format of row and column prefix, two "%d" are representing the position of row and column
Speak Focused Slot Changes	true	Speak if the content of focused slot changes, close it if you hear the mod is continuously repeating changes of item name, some mods like hypixel will cause that.
Delay (in milliseconds)	250	Cooldown between two feature executions

Most recipes require their ingredients to be arranged in a specific way on the crafting grid (a.k.a. our crafting input group). That's how Row and Column Format in Crafting Input Slots config can help you, you'll hear something like "1x2 Empty Slot" which represent you're locating at row one and column two slot inside the crafting input group, and it contains nothing.
