Hi Dengo: Thanks for this well worded post. You are right that Minecraft pushes Java gaming to the limits, and is relatively inexpensive compared to other mainstream games. Although, it is actually written by an indie developer and is pretty much comparable in price with other indie mainstream games.
As far as accessibility goes I don't know the game well enough to make a surefire statement of how easy or how hard it would to be made accessible. As far as the game play itself goes sure I am certain we could do that easy enough. However, as for the world building that would probably require more experimentation, testing, and development.
