About this project

What does Simple Voice Distance add?

🔊 SimpleVoice Distance

With SimpleVoice Distance, players switch between Whisper, Normal, Call and Shout with a single key press – perfect for roleplay servers! (An addon for Simple Voice Chat.)

▶️ Overview

SimpleVoice Distance adds four voice modes (Whisper, Normal, Call, Shout). Server admins can configure each of them. Players change their speaking range on the fly with a key bind, and voices fade out smoothly at the edge of the range instead of cutting off.

✨ Features

  • Whisper: Short range for private conversations
  • Normal: Default range for everyday chat
  • Call: Medium range for calling out to nearby players
  • Shout: Long range for announcements and large gatherings
  • Smooth voice fade: Voices get quieter towards the edge of the range – no hard cut
  • Per-player volume: Look at a player, hold right click and scroll (0–200 %), or use the player menu with heads, mute and reset buttons
  • Range display: See your range in 5 styles (Notes, Dome, Wall, Glow, Pulse) with your own color and brightness – also works with shader packs
  • Modern settings menu: Everything in one place, with themes (Default, Winter, Halloween, Wolf)
  • HUD icon: Move it anywhere on the screen; it can show when you are muted or talking
  • Admin menu: OPs change ranges, fade, cooldown and display style in-game; changes apply to everyone instantly, no restart needed
  • Server-side configuration: Or edit simplevoicedistance-server.toml – it reloads live
  • Quick key-press switching: Switch voice modes forward or backward instantly – perfect for RP

⌨️ Keys

  • T / R: Next / previous voice mode
  • V: Show your voice range
  • J: Open settings
  • K: Hide the HUD icon
  • Right click + scroll on a player: Change their volume

All keys can be changed in the Minecraft controls.
