My son, who is autistic and can't speak or read, loves MineCraft. Well, actually what he likes is generating tons of new worlds, walking around and destroying things in each one until it gets dark or he falls into water, and then exiting and starting a new one. It works for him, so who am I to judge?
The problem is that he sometimes changes the control mapping so that he can't do anything. This is obviously frustrating to him. I'm wondering if there's any way to lock the controls? Or a way to make it more difficult?
I realize this is probably exactly the opposite of what everyone else wants!!! But I was hoping someone out there might have had this problem before and run across a solution. He plays on a Mac, if that makes any difference.
Keeping (1) in mind, this is what I would try: find your options.txt file. It will be in your .minecraft folder. (To find it on a Mac, please read the Mac FAQ). Do whatever it takes on a Mac to protect this file and make it read only and un deletable.
If you accomplish this, it may still be possible to mess up the controls for the current session. but restarting minecraft should go back to the protected options settings (which include the control mappings).
