What is Simple voice Chat?
Simple Voice Chat is a Minecraft mod that adds in-game voice communication to your server. It allows players to talk to each other without the need for external software, enhancing the multiplayer experience with real-time, proximity-based voice communication. This means you can hear players who are nearby, and the sound diminishes as they move away, adding a layer of immersion to the game.
