Simple Radio
by CodinGlitch
Players who want to talk over distance without a shared room can tune Simple Radio to a frequency and speak through a handheld radio.
What it does
Simple Radio is a plugin for Simple Voice Chat that adds radio communication over frequencies. Players use it to talk with friends while far apart. Fabric API, Lexiconfig and Simple Voice Chat are required, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.18.2 – 1.21.4 with the latest files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.4.
Key features
