Captioning API for Minecraft allows sounds to be displayed as text for those with no sound or that are hearing impaired.

The API also allows other mods to add their own sounds to the list to display as well as supporting alternate languages. (English is up to date, Spanish is missing some entries currently, but if someone wants to add a translation, let me know.)

This is pretty awesome...but what does it say when you hear a creeper...does it just flash RUN RUN RUN on the screen?

You hear hissing

Nice. I'm not hearing impaired, but I will be installing this mod. I often play with the sound off, and blowing up because I focused on mining something really really blows.


I can't wait to see how you described the racket an Enderman makes.

I think I called it a scream. The mod will set sound volume to 1% if you have it set to 0%, simply because Minecraft does not call the sound module at al if volume is 0. But you can still mute system volume to have it work.

Updated to 1.4.6, also added a button to allow the captioning to be turned on or off.

I'm glad you like it. I primarily wrote it because I sometimes play on a computer with no sound card, and I know how hard it is to play without sounds.

I have also had some dealings with assorted handicaps so I felt this would be a really useful mod to make, it would even be a good one for Mojang to build into the game.

Let me know about an video you make about it or any suggestions you have to improve it.

Updated to 1.4.7, while most mods seem to work from 1.4.6 to 1.4.7, something got broken in this. Sorry it took me a bit, I have been focused on updating MOAPI and Minecraft My Way. Though I do have some improvements in store for this mod.

Updated for 1.5

This is brilliant. Good job.

Updated to Minecraft 1.5.1

I'm curious. Does this mod work with sounds from other mods, like, say, Mo' Creatures? For example, say you encounter a horse or a duck from the mod. Would this mod say, "You hear a neigh" or "You hear a quack"?

Yes, I designed it to allow other mods to add their own sounds to the system, however they would have to code for it, or there would have to be enough demand for me to add them to the core database.

would it be compatible with dbc 1.0f and newer versions?

It should be compatible with pretty much any mod out there. It will not include text for any new sounds added by mods, but the vanilla sounds should continue to translate.

I love your mod. The idea is awesome and should be in the vanilla Minecraft . Please continue updating it! I am from Spain and I would love to help you translating the mod to the huge Spanish Community.

I finished! Here you have the es_ES.captions translated. I'm not very sure if I edit the correct file. I hope it's all okey. If not, please tell me.

Srry the link above was broken. This one will work.

Cool!!! Maybe you could add a way to MAKE the caption file thingy for a mod manually (like by yourself)? That would be cool
