Simple Voice Chat Better Groups
by VanillaGame
Simple Voice Chat Better Groups lets group leaders send one-time invitations and approve join requests for password-protected voice groups, without sharing a password.
What it does
Leaders can invite players without a password. An invitation is personal, expires after a set time and is accepted with a click in chat. Players who want into a password-protected group send a join request, and the leader approves it.
Server owners manage groups with the voicegroup command and control who may use it through permissions. Expiry windows for invitations and join requests, the waiting periods between them, and the notification sounds are all set in the configuration file. A player who leaves a group can return with a click of proximity chat, as long as the group still exists and the player has not joined another group since leaving.
The client part is a Fabric mod that requires Simple Voice Chat on the player's side, while the server side installs as a single JAR that runs on Paper, Purpur and Folia, with Leaf support marked experimental. Simple Voice Chat and Fabric API are required dependencies. The mod is published for Fabric across 1.21.11 – 26.3 and is open source under the MIT License.
