    Issue:
    As someone who has a somewhat medium level of colourblindness (Specifically deuteranopia, aka red-green colourblindness, but I've found colours such as yellow-oranges-greens and greens-blue-purples are also affected) I have found on multiple occasions that I struggle to tell the difference between most of the loot. Specifically, I find that differentiating the unique/set items, and the rare/legendary/mythic items can be fairly difficult and requires a substantial amount of time to differentiate these items, especially in loot chests. I've also found that the colour-based puzzles have also caused some issues for me, but that may just be a skill issue and me just being a bozo.

    Unfortunately, even with pc settings that help reduce my issues with colours, I have found that I still face issues with these parts of Wynncraft.

    Solution(?):

    I was thinking there could be a secondary resource/texture pack that players could use that would provide higher contrast to some of the in-game items, and potentially some of the blocks that are commonly used in colour-based puzzles. Possibly just changing the colours of these parts of the game, or simply making them slightly more vibrant/higher contrast from each other. Furthermore, if these edits end up being easy to make, and you make it so players can switch between packs easily, maybe with a command, you could create packs that target specific forms of colourblindness.
    ie.) /accessibility colours Default, Deuteranopia, Protanopia, etc.

    To be honest I'm not sure how viable this would be for the devs to make as it may actually be a bit of a hassle to implement idk, but I think it'd be somewhat nice for a lot of people (Especially those who are much more colour blind than myself, or have other variants such as protanopia or tritanopia) to better enjoy certain parts of wynncraft.

    Also if I'm, just being a bozo and there actually is an option/workaround for this let me know, but as far as I can tell you cannot change these issues as they are currently as the Wynncraft resource pack seems to override every other texture pack, and the colour of the items are specific to Wynncraft.

    You should add a poll, but yes, this is a needed feature. There are a number of things in-game that rely heavily on colour perception which is detrimental to people who are colour blind and have difficulties perceiving differences in colours.

    Wynncraft pretty badly needs colorblind accessability.

    Yes definitely. For some colour puzzles you can use f3 while looking at the blocks to simply read their colours as text, but for timed puzzles like in the ??? Quest that’s basically impossible.
    Theres no good reason to not make the game colour blind friendly.
    (Also please add a poll, that would be nice)

    This would be difficult and add lots of work because no other servers with resource packs have this, of course, yes this would be nice to have, and kinda proves that wynncraft is becoming much more than minecraft server
