abstract valley
Subtitles are a very helpful accessibility feature in the later versions of the game. However, this feature does not exist in earlier versions, like 1.8.9.
How would this mod function?
I would imagine the mod working pretty much exactly how it does in vanilla. Simply displaying nearby noises as text in an on screen GUI, how close or far (based on text opacity), and direction (represented with < and >).
I can also imagine there being a slew of adjustable settings. Perhaps something akin to how the "particles" mod works where you can adjust what sounds will and won't be displayed, the color of displayed text for each sound (example; being able to set "lava pops" to display as orange), and general settings like background opacity.
Why add this mod?
I believe that it will be an amazing QoL mod. It makes the earlier versions of the game more accessible and gives players who play without sound the ability to not miss any important sounds. For example; sound queues when doing vampire slayer.
Thank you for your time!
