About this project

What does BSMP TRANSLATOR (Bsmp Bubbles Chat) add?

BSMP Bubbles Chat
See chat — and now voice — as floating bubbles above each player's head, with real-time translation.

Tired of missing chat messages while playing? BSMP Bubbles Chat turns every chat message into a floating speech bubble above the player who sent it, so you always know who said what — and in your own language.


✨ Features

💬 Floating Chat Bubbles
Every chat message appears as a bubble above the sender's head. No more scrolling through chat logs to know who's talking.

🎙️ Real-Time Voice-to-Text Translation (new)
With Simple Voice Chat installed, BSMP Bubbles Chat listens to nearby players, transcribes what they say, and translates it live — shown as a floating subtitle bubble above their head and/or logged in the chat history panel. No offline models to download, works with any of the supported languages.

🌐 Automatic Translation
Messages are translated in real time to your preferred language using the BSMP Stream Translator web API. Supports:

  • 🇪🇸 Spanish · 🇬🇧 English · 🇫🇷 French · 🇩🇪 German · 🇮🇹 Italian · 🇵🇹 Portuguese · 🇷🇺 Russian · 🇯🇵 Japanese

🎨 5 Bubble Styles
Classic, Pixel, Rounded, Minimal, Retro — pick the look that fits your setup.

🌈 4 Color Themes
Dark, Neon, Retro, Light — instantly recolors bubbles and the menu.

📜 Movable Chat History Panel
An optional on-screen log ("TRANSLATIONS CHAT") of recent messages and voice subtitles — drag it anywhere and resize it directly with your mouse.

🔊 Pop Sound
A soft "pop" plays whenever a new bubble appears. Toggleable, with adjustable volume.

🎯 Per-Player Colors
Each player gets a unique bubble color based on their UUID, so you can tell them apart at a glance.

👁️ See Through Walls
Toggle whether bubbles stay visible through walls — handy on crowded servers.

⚙️ Fully Configurable In-Game
Press O to open the config menu. Everything updates live: bubble duration, max bubbles per player, max distance, background opacity, sound, style/theme, translation language, spoken language for voice recognition, and more.

💾 Auto-Saved Config
All settings save automatically to .minecraft/config/chatbubbles.json — no manual file editing needed.


⚙️ How to Use

  1. Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API for Minecraft 1.20.1.
  2. (Optional, for voice subtitles) Install Simple Voice Chat.
  3. Drop the mod .jar into your mods folder.
  4. Launch the game and join any world or server.
  5. Chat (or talk, with Simple Voice Chat) normally — bubbles appear automatically.
  6. Press O to open the config menu and customize everything.

🔧 Requirements

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Client-side only. Server owners don't need to install anything — works on any server, vanilla or modded.
  • Requires internet. Both text translation and voice-to-text need a connection to the translator API; if it's offline, messages show in their original language.
  • No API key required.

🎮 Default Keybinds

B Toggle bubbles on/off
O Open config menu

You can rebind these in Options → Controls → Key Binds → Bubbles de Chat.
