Fabric Voice Chat Broadcast
by corfoto4
Fabric Voice Chat Broadcast lets a server send one player's voice chat to everyone on the server, using the Simple Voice Chat mod.
What it does
The mod is an addon for henkelmax's Simple Voice Chat. It works on a Fabric server that runs Simple Voice Chat and Fabric API, and it does not need to be installed by players. Admins create a join group named broadcast, which is case insensitive, and voice that reaches that group is heard by every player on the server.
Broadcast permission can be managed with LuckPerms, which is optional. Anybody placed in the broadcast group is allowed to send a broadcast when LuckPerms is not installed. With LuckPerms, the node voicechat.broadcast controls who may broadcast: set to true allows a player to broadcast, and set to false stops them. The default is false, so the permission has to be granted before anyone can use it. Using permissions requires LuckPerms Fabric to be installed on the server.
The mod is open source under the MIT License, with public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki. Files are published for Fabric only, across 13 game versions 1.18.2 – 1.21.5, and 1.1.0-1.21.5 is the latest file, dated 2025-04-27. Requests for changes are handled through issues on GitHub, which the author checks infrequently.
Key features
Broadcast group

If LuckPerms is absent, every member of the broadcast group can broadcast.
