Parity means making features behave consistently across different Minecraft editions, most commonly between Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Use this category to discuss released features that exist in both versions of the game but work differently. Please note that bugs are not parity issues and should be reported separately.

(Java Parity) Bedrock closed captioning

Basically add the java closed captioning system to bedrock.

To streamline it, combine it with the java sound selection system and only show captioning on sounds that have their volume enabled.  So if you have turned off the block sounds you don’t get it telling you every time a dropper clicks.

This is an important feature to have in the game because sound cues can be very important, such as a zombie groaning as it walks up behind you as you’re mining, but not everyone can hear.  There are also people like me who find the whole package of Minecraft sounds to be unbearably annoying, but only have the option to play with sounds or to play deaf.

    I've recently become deaf and don't play much anymore. It was really frustrating to get snuck up on by a creeper before, but now it's completely unavoidable for me. Why, in the year of our lord 2025, is there no basic accessibility like this?

    As a hearing user, I heavily rely on sound to be able to play. It's almost unavoidable for me. If I'm in a place where I can't turn up my volume, then I simply play safely and build in my area/base.
    With captions added, I could play with or without sound safely.

    This is added to Bedrock now! Although subtitles in Bedrock do have some issues regarding missing or incorrect closed captions.
