Hi all: I find myself in full agreement with Dennis on this issue. Minecraft is an FPS game, but the way it is designed it would take a massive rewrite to make it accessible and by doing so it would largely change the game for everyone involved. This is a case where someone would be better off taking away the relevant concepts and writing their own game rather than trying to make Minecraft itself accessible.
