How can a deaf player detect where monsters and caves are in Minecraft?
Posted On: July 13, 2023

I see all the time that the recommended ways to mine is to dig deep and listen out for the sounds of monsters in caves.


My niece is deaf, and whilst she loves the building aspect of the game, tasks like "finding caves" or "knowing a monster is behind you" are obviously more difficult.


Are there any settings or mods that can be used to give a visual indication that the player is in the vicinity of mobs? Especially something showing the direction the sound is coming from.


Question from user victoriah at stackexchange.


Answer:

In Minecraft release 1.9+ you can enable subtitles in the corner of the screen, which show what sounds played in the last 5 seconds! Each sound subtitle fades away with time, darkening and vanishing in a few seconds. Plus, small arrows indicate which side of the player the sound came from.
