Subtitles

Subtitles are an upcoming feature which display text for sounds in game. This feature is mainly intended for players who are hard of hearing, deaf or play with sounds off.

Usage
When subtitles are turned on, a black box appears in the bottom right corner, which lists sounds in the world that are nearby to the player. If the sounds are offscreen, "<" or ">" point in the direction the sound is coming from. As the sound fades away, the text also fades, becoming less white.

All sounds (whether environmental, from entities, block updates or other sources) have their own individualised subtitles. For entities, the entity is displayed followed by a specific verb, e.g. "Rabbit squeaks" or "Villager mumbles".

Subtitles can be configured in the "Music & Sound" section of the Options menu.
