    Herro!

    So I changed some assets for me and my brothers to help us play, because we're all colorblind and a few of the default color choices were quite frustrating to play with. I made a little resource pack that includes a green (or yellow; can't tell) compass and 7 different cursors to choose from. Red (default), Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta, and Rainbow. Personally, I love the rainbow cursor, and it's visible across all surfaces. Very high contrast. The other cursors you can choose yourself; there's at least one for each type of colorblindness!

    Here's a picture.

    And here's the download.

    If anyone is colorblind/visually impaired in some manner and would like to suggest something to change, I'd be more than happy to include it. Ultimately the point of this is to A) make the game as visually accessible as possible, and :cool: look really pretty.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I'm colorblind and I think that change the contrast on the block should be great. Beginning with the ore should be good.

    Uh, hey there?

    Unfortunately, there are so many ores in the game, it's almost impossible to make a resource pack that makes them more easily visible for any one colorblindness. If you know what kind of colorblindness you have exactly, I can recommend quite a few things to help, though.

    In other news, I'm going to add an alternate health bar color, because for most forms of dichromacy, the red health bar blends in with the gray background very easily, so I'll be changing it to a light shade of blue and adding that to the pack.

    I'm not colorblind myself; But i'm glad your going above and beyond to help other players in need.

    - Keep Up the good work!

    I'm red / green colourblind, so thanks for this. Some of the darker rock colours make it hard to see ores.

    I wish I could change that easily, but unfortunately there's no good solution for ores against dirt/stone right now. If I change any color to fix one problem, it would just cause another somewhere else.
