Zombie is breaking down a door ("Block broken").

@unknown that one is most likely intended, any block that is being broken displays "Block Breaking"/"Block Broken"

migrated

On closer inspection, wooden logs, wooden planks, signs, fences, chests, workbenches and doors all display "Block broken" while breaking instead of "Block breaking".

Please split this report in the following reports because the reasons why the wrong subtitles appear are pretty different.

  • Wooden Pressure plates unclicking (Shows "Button clicks") → MC-106296

  • Putting chest on Mule (Shows "Donkey Chest equips") → Probably missing distinction

  • Dropper failed (Shows "Dispenser failed" subtitles.block.dispenser.fail) → Probably missing distinction

  • Dropper dropped item (Shows "Dispensed item" subtitles.block.dispenser.dispense) → Probably missing distinction

  • Donkey eats (Shows "Horse eats") → Probably missing distinction

  • Mule eats (Shows "Horse eats") → Probably missing distinction

  • Horse armor unequips (Shows "Horse armor equips") → MC-106298

  • Mooshrooms are called cows → Probably missing distinction

  • Dispenser firing Fire Charge (shows "Blaze Shoots") → net.minecraft.init.Bootstrap.registerDispenserBehaviors().new BehaviorDefaultDispenseItem() {...}.playDispenseSound(IBlockSource) (MCP 9.30 name) plays for fireballs the sound event 1018 which is a blaze shooting a fireball

  • wooden logs, wooden planks, signs, fences, chests, workbenches and doors all display "Block broken" while breaking instead of "Block breaking" → MC-106296

  • "Gear equipped" subtitle shows up when player drinks, eats, or places boats (the last one in multiplayer) additionally to the correct subtitle. → MC-97507

Certain cat and enderman sounds use identical subtitles to other sounds they make in a way that seems incorrect, as I've found while reformatting how the wiki documents sounds.

Also are iron trapdoors counted here?

migrated

Affects 1.14.4 and 1.15-pre1.

Relates to MC-93813.

Maybe include "Sound" as a category?

Add the following:

  • Snowball thrown (Shows "Snowball flies")

  • Throwing eggs show as "Egg flies"

  • Eye of Ender thrown (Shows "Eye of Ender shoots")

  • Ender Pearl thrown (Shows "Ender Pearl flies")

Remove

  • Putting chest on Mule (Shows "Donkey Chest equips") → Probably missing distinction (fixed in 16w41a according to Roy Sajima. Also fixed in 1.14.4 and 1.15-pre1)

migrated

@unknown, could you describe more about the sounds you are talking about, including that of the iron trapdoors?

marcono1234

@@unknown, for the sound events you listed it appears they are only played when the respective item is used. So there is no missing distinction, but rather possibly an incorrect subtitle. If you think this is an issue, please create a separate report.

migrated

Confirmed for 1.15.1. Even the new drying sponge uses ''Fire extinguishes'' instead of its own.

Add

Respawn Anchor, bed, creeper, tnt and end crystal explosions (Shows "Explosion")

No, "Explosion" is not wrong.

[Mod] markderickson

Hi there!

"Chest locks" is also affected because shulker boxes and barrels that are locked have the same subtitle.

anthony cicinelli

Donkey Jump is also affected it says Horse Jumps

muzikbike

Can this ticket be split up?

the 'Mooshroom gets milked for mushroom stew (shows "Gear equipped")' was fixed in 20w45a (see MC-185360)

migrated

Can confirm for 20w46a

Brevort

As someone who always uses subtitles, I don't really find this as an issue. There is no way to determine a lot of these sounds (e.g. cavespider vs. regular spider) without subtitles, so I don't really think it's that necessary unless they were to add a separate sound for cave spiders (unless maybe they put it up a half-octave like how baby zombies are higher pitched). Then again, it's not really my decision. XD

Chiseled bookshelves were fixed in 22w45a.

  • Placing a wet sponge in the nether shows "Fire extinguished", not "Fire extinguishes".

  • Similar to "Turtle swims", "Turtle breaths" has the same issue.

migrated

Also Husk/Drowned/Zombie Villager infects, which shows up as "Zombie infects."

migrated

Considering Cave Spider and Spider noises are indistinguishable wouldn't that give subtitles a clear advantage, when in normal gameplay you have to guess which type it is, or it might not even occur to players that it could be a Cave Spider

NOoooo3333

Sponge drying in Nether and donkeys/mules jumping was fixed in 24w09a

migrated

24w33a says that piglins/hoglins zombifying says "Piglin/Hoglin retreats". (you might have to scroll to see). This is 24w33a, you can tell by the redstone torch if you're wondering.
