SIMP Bridge

SIMP Bridge

Give your stream’s audience a server of their own. SIMP Bridge links your survival server (the player server) to a second viewer server that holds a live, one-way copy of your world. Viewers join it to watch any streamer through their eyes, listen in on voice chat, raise pets and spend gems — without ever being able to touch the real world.

🎥 Watch live

• A synced copy of your world. Chunks, block changes, mobs, items, particles and sounds are copied as you play.
• First-person spectating. Watch any streamer through their eyes with a smooth camera, including their hand, held items, hotbar, hearts, food and XP.
• Their inventory. Press E while watching to see a streamer’s full inventory.
• Free cam. Fly around the world, or follow someone’s pet.
• Your world stays safe. Viewers are spectators on a separate server: they can’t break blocks, grief, or slow down your game.

🎙️ Voice chat (with Simple Voice Chat)

• Proximity. Viewers hear streamers nearby, just like standing next to them.
• Groups. Every voice group appears as a [LIVE] group that viewers can listen to.
• Talk-back. Streamers can let chosen viewers talk to them.
• Group HUD. A small list shows who’s in the group on the other server, and who’s talking.

🐾 Pets

• 9 species: dog, cat, parrot, fox, rabbit, axolotl, frog, bee and allay. Each has its own looks: wolf variants, cat breeds and colours.
• Drive your pet around the streamers’ world in first or third person. It looks wherever you point.
• Emote wheel: sit, jump, spin, beg, shake, sleep and more.
• Make it yours with a name, dyed collars, hats (on top or as its head) and particle trails.
• No server cost when idle. Pets fall asleep when nobody’s steering them, and they never load chunks.

💎 Gems & the Gem Shop

• Earning gems: viewers get gems from a daily login streak and, optionally, Twitch Bits cheered on your channel.
• Spending gems: new pets and looks, 16 hats, 11 trails, a sound played at a streamer, or a hat on a streamer for 5 minutes.
• No pay-to-win. Everything is cosmetic or just for fun, with no gameplay advantage. Admins can change every price.
• Leaderboard of the top gem holders.

🛡️ Streamers stay in control

• Their own menu (G) with a switch for everything viewers can do: hear you, watch through your eyes, see your inventory, play sounds, put hats on you, bring pets near you. All on by default.
• Block single viewers, and send nearby pets home.
• Staff roles: streamers manage the whitelist from the menu, and moderators handle gems and Twitch.
• Automatic hand-off: whitelisted players are moved to the player server when they join.

📈 Built for big audiences

• Your game server doesn’t slow down with viewers. It sends everything once to the viewer side, however many people watch.
• Several viewer servers can run side by side for large crowds. When one is full, new viewers are moved to the next.

Requirements

The viewer server also needs every mod in your pack that adds blocks, mobs or dimensions, so it can show them.

Getting started

1. Put SIMP Bridge on both servers.
2. In config/simpbridge-common.toml, set one server’s role to player and the other’s to viewer, and give both the same shared secret.
3. Point the viewer at the player server’s bridge port. Keep that port private, for your servers only.
4. Start the viewer server from an empty void world. It fills in as the copy arrives.
5. Join the viewer server and press G.

FAQ

Can viewers change my world? No. The copy only flows one way, and viewers are spectators on a separate server.

Do I need Velocity or BungeeCord? No. Players are moved between the servers with Minecraft’s built-in transfer.

Is voice chat required? No. Without Simple Voice Chat, everything except voice still works.

Can I play without the mod on my client? No. Everyone needs the same SIMP Bridge version to join either server.
