Condensed subtitles

(Please add subtitles to bedrock too)
Currently, as is, Java edition's subtitles are only so useful. There's far too many unique sounds in the game, and a lot of mobs can make 2-3 sounds. It fills the screen and becomes information overload.

I think having some subtitle options to allow more customization, or even just having a condensed mode where each source of sounds can only take up one line or something.
Examples of implementation I could see:
- Categories for subtitles you can toggle (IE passive, hostile, etc)
- Subtitle priority system (IE certain sounds are far more important and could be bolded or something. Like, creepers or zombies)

  With subtitles being added to bedrock, I am going to ping this thread again. Bedrock has some level of condensed subtitles, and it's not perfect but a step in the right direction. Now we just need to improve this system and have it work the same on both platforms.
