🎙️ ModernVoiceChat

ModernVoiceChat is a high-performance, next-generation 3D Spatial & Radio Voice Chat Mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge).

ModernVoiceChat uses the pure-Java kwik QUIC/TLS transport. Audio coding is provided by Opus4J, which bundles platform-specific native Opus binaries.

✨ Key Features

⚡ Secure Cross-Platform QUIC Transport

• Powered by kwik (Pure Java QUIC / RFC 9000).
• Voice traffic uses TLS 1.3 and QUIC Datagram (RFC 9221).
• Opus4J supplies native codec binaries for supported Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms.

Required client dependencies

• Kotlin for Forge 5.3.0 or later
• Cloth Config API 15.0.127 or later

🎙️ Immersive 3D Spatial Audio

• Real-time positional voice chat calculated dynamically based on player distance and head orientation.
• Natural 24-meter default hearing radius with smooth distance falloff.

📻 Handheld Radio Item & TFAR-Style DSP Filter

• In-Game Radio Item (modernvoicechat:radio): Right-click to open an interactive GUI and set your frequency (e.g., 144.00 MHz).
• 700m Clear Communication & Real-time Signal Degradation:
  • 0m – 700m (Audible & Clear Range): Applies military-grade 300Hz–3400Hz band-pass filtering and dynamic compression for crisp, highly intelligible radio speech.
  • 700m – 1000m (Signal Degradation Zone): Dynamic RSSI signal fading introduces authentic background white noise, adaptive bandwidth narrowing (800Hz–1800Hz), syllable packet dropouts, and digital quantization distortion (MELPe style).
  • 1000m+: Signal cutoff.

🌐 External IP & Proxy Support (voiceHost)

• Easily connect voice traffic to a different external IP/domain or reverse proxy via config/modernvoicechat-server.toml.

🧩 Rich Developer API (v1.0)

• Direct 1-on-1 Voice Links: Build telephone, intercom, or secret line features with distance-free direct audio routing.
• Custom Voice Groups: Create team channels or party voice rooms in seconds.
• NeoForge Event Integration: Hook into PlayerSpeakingEvent or RadioTransmitEvent to trigger custom in-game animations or mechanics.

🎮 Requirements

• Minecraft: 1.21.1
• Mod Loader: NeoForge 21.1.238+
• Java: Java 21

📻 How to Use the Radio

1. Craft or acquire the Radio item in-game.
2. Transmit (PTT): Hold the Radio and [Hold Right-Click] to transmit your voice over the radio frequency.
3. Configure Frequency: Hold the Radio and [Left-Click] to open the Frequency Configuration Screen (e.g. 144.00 MHz).
4. Receive: Simply keep the Radio in your hands or inventory to always receive incoming radio transmissions on your frequency!

⚙️ Server Configuration (config/modernvoicechat-server.toml)

[server]
  # SFU Voice Server UDP/QUIC Port
  voicePort = 24454

  # External IP/Hostname for client connection (leave empty "" to use Minecraft server IP)
  voiceHost = ""

  # 3D Proximity Voice Hearing Range in blocks/meters
  voiceRange = 24.0

  # Distance in blocks up to which radio remains highly clear
  radioClearRange = 700.0

  # Maximum transmission range for radio in blocks
  radioMaxRange = 1000.0

🧩 Developer API Example

import com.ruskserver.modernvoicechat.api.ModernVoiceChatAPI

// Create a private direct 1-on-1 telephone link between two players
val serverApi = ModernVoiceChatAPI.getServerApi()
serverApi.createVoiceLink(playerAUuid, playerBUuid, bidirectional = true, isolateProximity = true)

// Check if a player is currently speaking
val isSpeaking = serverApi.isPlayerSpeaking(playerUuid)
