Certain subtitles show up when the player is too far away to hear the sound

Some subtitles show up even if the player is too far away to hear the sound. So far this seems to affect:

  • Block broken (Sheep eating grass)
  • Bottle smashes
  • Bat takes off
  • Dispenser/droppers (item dispensed, dispenser failed)
  • Door/trapdoor/fence gate creaks (opening/closing)
  • Firework launches
  • Bee buzzes

This is best reproduced on a Superflat world with the "Void" preset (with subtitles on of course).

To reproduce bottle:
Fly up to around y=40 and throw a bottle; the "Bottle Smashes" subtitle should appear even though the player is well out of the audible range. It will show up to y=67 if you throw straight down.

To reproduce bat:

  • Type "/setblock 0 10 0 stone" and spawn a bat under a stone block (manually using a spawn egg).
  • Fly up to around y=60 and type "/setblock 0 10 0 air"; "Bat takes off" should show up.
