⚠️ Important Notes

Requires Simple Voice Chat: This mod works ONLY with Simple Voice Chat installed. Without VoiceChat, the mod will not function (on Paper the plugin disables itself).

Recommendation: Vanish For the best experience, use VCAT together with a vanish mod/plugin (e.g. Vanish on Fabric). This way you can be invisible to other players in VoiceChat groups and monitor the group unnoticed.

Server-Side Only: VCAT only needs to be installed on the server. Clients don’t need it, everything works completely server-side.

🎨 Color Scheme

The mod uses a consistent color scheme for all chat messages:

• Cyan (#00ccff) – Main color for commands, headings and buttons
• White – Highlighted values (names, passwords, durations)
• Gray – Normal text
• Red – Errors and ban notices

📋 Requirements

• Simple Voice Chat (required) on all versions

Data folder:

• Fabric: config/VCAT/
• Paper: plugins/VCAT/ (old data from config/VCAT/ is migrated automatically)

🔧 Permissions

By default, players with OP level 2 or higher can use the commands. Optionally, the permission node permissions.vcat can also be used.
