Minecraft is actually a game designed for neurodivergent people first and neurotypicals second in this essay I will
-Doesn’t force you to progress. You don’t even have to fight the ender dragon unless you want too, and the only thing you’ll be missing out on is shulker boxes and purpur -Low stakes. If you die just run back and grab your stuff, or just make new gear. The highest stakes are your pets dying -Encourages you to play repetitively for hours on end, but doesn’t force you too in order to enjoy the game -So. Many. Options. You’re hyperfixated on mechanics? Redstone! You wanna build a fucking castle? Go for it! Want to live a cottagecore life in the woods tending to your bees? Fuck yeah bro! -Endless exploration = endless dopamine for nd brain when you find something funky -You can get PETS! and name them! and they follow you around! this may just be me as someone who gets attached very easily but!!!! my dog and bees and horses give my adhd brain so much free dopamine -Has subtitle options for people with audio processing issues/hoh people -Put some things behind a progression block (ie: nether woods) but none of them are so hard that they can be frustrating to get, thus giving you unholy amount of dopamine when you get them without having to push you to frustration -You can make pride flags with banners and that makes my gay nd ass very happy -Can be played with or without sound, and the game soundtrack is very relaxing ambient music
Feel free to add on if you’d like!
