Do you want to run your own Minecraft server but hate Microsoft? You might want to try the free open source alternative Luanti (formerly known as Minetest):
It has many different game modes, thousands of mods, online multiplayer support, a scripting language to create your own game modes and mods, and a FOSS community supporting the software. You can follow the official account at:

I used Luanti to learn how to squeeze all the juice from the Radperrypi4.
If you run the game directly on the Rpi4, youll get fairly poor performance.
However running it as a dedicated server on an SSD is better but still not an ideal experience even with a single person logged in remotely.
It's once you start over clocking & throwing the Luanti (In my case VoxelLibre) SQLite database onto a tmpfs ramdisk to live there makes it a snappy experience for at least 5 players.
@homegrown @Luanti I don't know if Luanti has any accessibility support, like for instance how with Minecraft you could set up an accessibility mod called Minecraft Access and it would read out everything using NVDA.
p.s. I had a look at the mod list and there is a mod for subtitles for deaf people, and a mod for hiding flashing lights for epileptic people, plus a tool that lets other mod makers add sounds to particular actions for blind accessibility purposes. I couldn't find any screen reader mods though, sorry.
@homegrown @Luanti Oh right. So for those of us who rely on the screen reader feedback loop then Minecraft is the one with that, shame.
I'm not a developer though so it would be @Luanti who is best placed to comment on screen reader support.
This is a good point, maybe @Luanti can comment?
Unfortunately, the accessibility options are limited to stuff like font size, contrast, and reducing animations. See Settings > Accessibility.
Third party mods are available for subtitles and audio hints. We'd love to have more but just don't have enough developers or time
One of our long term goals is to introduce a new gui system, which would help with accessibility as it would allow GUIs to be more responsive, but this has been stalled for many years
@Luanti @homegrown Oh right, well I rely on screen reader feedback so that's a shame its not there yet.
