Subtitles (also known as captions) are a 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. They can also be used for hearing quieter sounds.
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". However, the object is not specified for removing or placing blocks and the sound of footsteps.
Subtitles can be configured in the "Music & Sound" section of the Options menu.

'''Snowballs''' are throwable combat items that hit but do not damage most [[Mob|mobs]] on impact.
== Obtaining ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Snow farming}}
=== Mining ===
A [[shovel]] without the [[Silk Touch]] enchantment can get 4 snowballs by breaking a [[snow block]], and 1–8 snowballs by breaking or blasting [[snow layer]]s – one per layer. The [[Fortune]] enchantment does not affect these amounts.
{{IN|bedrock}}, snowballs are dropped from snow layers even when mined with a Silk Touch shovel.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-59729||Snow layers don't drop themselves when mined with a silk touch enchanted shovel}}</ref>
==== Explosions ====
Creeper and TNT [[explosion]]s leave snowballs in the resulting debris field if near snow.
==== Ravagers ====
{{IN|BE}}, Ravagers destroy snow layers, dropping snowballs.
==== Pistons ====
{{IN|BE}}, a block or piston head pushed into the position of snow layers destroys the snow layers, dropping snowballs. 1-3 layers drops 1 snowball, 4-5 layers drops 2 snowballs, 6-7 layers drops 3 snowballs and 8 layers drops 4 snowballs.
=== Mob loot ===
[[Snow golem]]s drop 0–15 snowballs upon death, unaffected by [[Looting]].
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|snowball}}
== Usage ==
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
=== Combat ===
[[File:Throwing a snowball on a pig.gif|300px|thumbnail|right|Throwing a snowball on a pig animation.]]
Snowballs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them. There is no charging time or cooldown for firing them,{{Until|java Combat Tests}} meaning they can be thrown as fast as the player can click.
Like other projectiles, snowballs are affected by gravity: their range is the same as those of [[egg]]s and [[ender pearl]]s, less than that of [[arrow]]s fired from [[bow]]s, and more than that of [[splash potion]]s. In [[Bedrock Edition]], players will receive damage and will be knockbacked.
Snowballs deal {{hp|3}} each to [[blaze]]s but they deal no damage to other mobs. Mobs still receive knockback and act the same as if they were being damaged (for example, [[zombified piglin]]s who are hit by snowballs become aggressive). Players {{in|BE}} receive knockback, while players {{in|JE}} are unaffected.<ref>{{bug|MC-3179|||WAI}}</ref>{{Until|java Combat Tests}}
When fighting the [[ender dragon]], [[end crystal]]s are able to be destroyed by snowballs being thrown at them.
Snowball, like other projectiles, can be used to distract the [[warden]]. A warden walks towards the location where the snowball lands to inspect it, giving the player time to escape. However, if snowballs are fired too frequently (at least twice in 5 seconds), the warden walks straight to the player instead.
In the new versions they can hit players but just only in bedrock
=== Dispenser ===
Snowballs can be fired from [[dispenser]]s.
== Sounds ==
{{Edition|Java}}:<br>
Thrown snowballs use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.
