In Minecraft as it is right now, there is very comprehensive closed captioning that captions every noise, which as a deaf player I am grateful for. However, this can get overwhelming for deaf players, as for every very immediately important noise (like a creeper hissing) there are many immediately unimportant noises drowning important noise out in the captioning queue. For this, there could be a captioning menu or priority for certain noises to appear above others. The menu could be a selection screen for which noises you want captioned (for example, I don't need cave noises captioned, however some other players may require this). If this is not possible, dangerous noises like creepers hissing or endermen teleporting could show up as different colours in the captioning menu, so when you look at the captions, your eyes are immediately drawn to the noises that could possibly hurt you as they are differently coloured from the rest of the captions. This would increase the effectiveness of the captioning, especially for a game like Minecraft where choosing certain noises to display over others in priority captioning could be difficult.
