Global Narration Toggle
by Serilum
Global Narration Toggle makes the narrator setting global, so one choice applies across every instance on the computer.
What it does
Each launch, the mod reads the narrator option stored in the shared .minecraft directory in AppData/Roaming and carries that choice over to newly created instances. If that folder or its options.txt file does not exist, the mod creates one containing only narrator:0. The narrator option is then updated in the options file automatically, so a change made in game carries over.
When a new instance starts, the accessibility onboarding screen is skipped once the mod has been installed and Continue has been clicked a single time. Instances can still be created with a different narrator setting, so the global value is a default rather than a lock. Players who never use the narrator can leave it off everywhere, and those who do need it only need to set it once.
Global Narration Toggle depends on Collective and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files covering 1.20.1 – 26.3 across 22 release versions. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Global narrator setting
The narrator option is stored once in the global options file and read by each instance at launch.
Skipped onboarding screen
After the first Continue click, the accessibility onboarding screen no longer appears when a new instance starts.
Automatic options update
Changes to the narrator setting made in game are written back to the global options file without manual editing.
Per-instance overrides kept
New instances can still be created with a different narrator setting, so the global value does not force a single choice.

How it compares
Narratless • Disable Narrator is a Fabric-only, client-side mod for 1.21 – 26.2 under the MIT License, and it disables the narrator outright rather than storing a shared setting. Rebind Narrator is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, runs on the client and supports Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.16.1 – 26.1.2, so it changes key bindings rather than the global setting. Globalize is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.1 under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, with a client or server optional environment.

Global Narration Toggle is a client-side mod that makes the start-up experience better, for everyone. While most don't need the narrator, some do. Disabling it entirely is not a good solution. How this mod works, is it checks for the narration setting in the global.minecraft folder. If it's disabled there, the…
