Wheelchairs broke containment again didn't it.
Have fun y'all ♡

Would you be able to make a 1.20.1 neoforge port for the wheelchair mod?
The backports (and probably any future ports) are being made using Architectury to streamline the process, and the 1.20.1 Fabric port is in fact made in a workspace that includes support for NeoForge too!
There's just been a couple weird hang-ups in that side of things that I haven't managed to sort out just yet. A NeoForge port is absolutely in the cards.
Mod showcase for the Wheelchairs mod!
I covered maybe half the detail and content in this project in this video, so if it looks cool check out the wiki and try it for yourself!
Yippee! 1000 downloads for my tasteful disability aid mod
For all the Wheelchairs enjoyers that prefer a more populous/developed/familiar/etc. modded environment, release 2.5 is now available for Minecraft version 1.20.2 on Fabric.
This version naturally includes a few bug fixes as well as the new content in the main 2.5 release version, like service vests and the AAC speech tablet!
Forge version also hopefully forthcoming too!
Wheelchairs release 2.5 is now available for Fabric 1.20.4, featuring service vests for your animals that ensure they survive your adventures unscathed and the speech tablet, a fully-functional ingame AAC device with 97 discrete phrases that can be used individually or as part of more complex messages!
Enjoy!

the speech tablet looks amazing, i think something that came to mind could be words to communicate wanting to be alone or wanting another person to leave? might not be the most useful so i totally get why its not included though.
Good suggestion! So far I've primarily focused on positive social interaction because I want to keep the possibility of toxic usage limited, but there absolutely are reasonable times to use such phrases
Hey Wheelchairs mod enjoyers, I've got an inquiry for y'all particularly if you have experience with being/are nonverbal (be it mutism, selective mutism, or any other form).
Seen above is the UI prototype for an upcoming craftable ingame AAC device item called the Speech Tablet. When you click on a button, it sends a translated message into the ingame chat for you. This means it can be read in a different language than your client's language setting, and that you can send potentially quite complex messages with just a couple mouse-clicks, no typing or heavy thinking needed.
What's more, the ingame narrator will even read your message out to players if they're nearby (though since the ingame narrator shares its volume setting with the entire Minecraft client, and hence can be pretty loud, this can be disabled in your client config if need be).
This is by far the closest this project has come to adding an actual accessibility device to Minecraft (instead of just a visual representation of one), and as such I want to get some input from people who might actually use it:
What messages should this tablet provide?
Right now I've got around 5 categories with capacity for up to 25 messages each, but I can expand that quite easily if necessary. I just don't have the experience to know what will/won't be useful.
So let me know!

hi! do you think the wheelchairs mod will be available in forge 1.20.1 at some point?
I'm afraid it's unlikely, so far the majority of users have expressed a preference for a 1.20.2 backport and I can only really invest the time to make backports for the most in-demand versions.
hiya - been out of the modding game long since b4 fabric etc came about - is it possible to install whelchairs & various types on the same minecraft version? what would be the most stable one?
thanks so much im so excited to play with the wheelchair mod!!!
Wheelchairs is currently only available up to 1.20.5, though I do have plans to update it further once I figure out a bug with its custom recipes.
Various Types is currently only available for 1.20.6, with plans for porting to 1.21 in the near future once it leaves alpha.
This means the two cannot currently be played in the same pack, so basically just pick whichever most interests you and get going!
So I get the hunch that Wheelchairs has found a hitherto-unexposed audience.

If you’re a disabled Minecraft player or just someone looking to roleplay a disabled character ingame, the Wheelchairs mod’s first full release version is worth looking into!
The reviews are in!
Very glad to see you folks like it, I tried really hard in every feature to ensure that I properly balanced immersion (feeling like you’re actually in a wheelchair when playing [affectionate]) with practicality (feeling like you’re actually in a wheelchair when playing [derogatory]) as well as giving players the tools to use the wheelchairs in a manner that best reflects them. That’s why the wheelchairs look the way they do, why they’re nigh indestructible, and why I’ve held off adding handles for so long thus far.
I wanted to do right by the community I was trying to represent, and from your responses it seems I’ve done okay.
So, go download the mod! Modrinth will literally pay me money if it gets downloaded a bunch which, as a disabled creator myself perennially living in poverty, means the absolute world.
This mod has now gotten it's 2.0 release and as promised now formally includes:
- Walkers, with optional lunc box
- Crutches, with special animation tweaks depending on whether you're using one or two at once
- Canes, with numerous handle choices and a special enchantment that lets you use them as a sword cane
- Wheeled stools, because it's basically the only mobility aid I can personally afford and I deserve to be represented in my own mobility aid mod
- Metal wheels, including Netherite if you feel bougie enough to spend 36 ancient debris on a Netherite wheelchair with Netherite wheels
- New wheelchair upgrades, including an auto-placer for bridging and handles so you can be consensually rolled around
As well as a bunch of fine tuning and bug fixes. Downloadable only on Modrinth, and with a comprehensive wiki!
In addition to the changes of previous beta versions, this release version includes:
- Added the Placer wheelchair upgrade! This upgrade adds its own discrete inventory slot, which only accepts blocks. Roughly every 1/4 second, while the wheelchair is on solid ground, the upgrade will attempt to place a block from its inventory beneath the wheelchair. Ideal for bridging! Applied with a dispenser.
- Added the Handles wheelchair upgrade! When a wheelchair with this upgrade is right-clicked, if it is already being ridden, it will bind to the player much like a walker does. This allows a wheelchair to be moved by someone other than the user, though the user can use the Untie button in the inventory to sever this binding and prevent a new one for 3 seconds. Applied with iron bars.
- Added the wheeled stool! This item is not well-suited to exploration but ideal if you just want to rest your feet for a moment at home.
- Added translation for all sounds, as well as a sound event when drawing from a cane sword
- Added metal wheels in copper, iron, gold, and netherite forms
- Added copper cane handle
- Added walker crafting recipe
- Ostensibly resolved the "phantom walker" bug that would result when the game crashed or was force-closed. I've already fixed this one like three times so I'm not definitively saying it's gone, but I'm like... 98% sure...
There's lots to see in the next Wheelchairs mod update, hopefully coming in the next couple of days 🤞
I think Wheelchairs mod enjoyers are going to like this new wheelchair upgrade.
It is simply named: the Placer upgrade ;)

i'm unfamiliar with the modding process ENTIRELY, my only knowledge is that backporting mods is incredibly difficult. knowing this, is it at all possible we'd ever be able to get the wheelchair mod for older versions? i'm personally a huge 1.16 player, but i know that doing this stuff in prior versions is hard
It very much depends exactly on what you're backporting. In the case of Wheelchairs specifically, it can go back as far as 1.20.1 without significant difficulty, but if it goes to any point before camels (the first vehicle/mount that can actually sprint) then it gets significantly more difficult.
Wheelchairs beta 1.9 is now available for Fabric 1.20.4, featuring the new walkers (though currently lacking a crafting recipe, they are available from the Creative menu)
And by popular request, wheelchair & walker upgrades can now be removed using an axe while sneaking!
These features will be ported to over versions and platforms in short order.
