Global Narration Toggle Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) is a lightweight accessibility-focused mod developed by Serilum, designed to improve the experience for visually impaired players. Built for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt, the mod ensures that Minecraft’s built-in narrator a feature that reads in-game chat and system messages aloud is easy to activate right at game start-up. Rather than navigating menus after launch, users can configure narration globally, streamlining the process for those who rely on this function for gameplay.

Global Narration Toggle Mod

Features:

  • Early Narrator Access on Launch
    Upon starting Minecraft, the mod presents an onboarding screen with the option to toggle the narrator on or off. This happens before entering the world or menus, making it accessible from the first second.
  • Global Configuration Sync
    The mod reads and writes settings from the global .minecraft directory. If narration is toggled in one instance, it will be reflected across all future instances.
  • Non-Intrusive for Other Players
    Players who do not use the narrator will not see the onboarding screen again after the first time. It’s a set-once, forget-it behavior unless reset manually.
  • Automatic File Handling
    Changes are stored in the options file automatically without needing manual edits or navigating Minecraft’s settings.
  • Compatible with All Major Modloaders
    Supports Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt, making it widely usable in both modpacks and standalone installations.
