Song Player for Simple Voice Chat
Song Player for Simple Voice Chat lets a player send YouTube audio into proximity voice chat, so nearby players hear the music as if it were spoken.
What it does
The addon connects to Simple Voice Chat and plays YouTube audio through the proximity voice channel. Players who are close enough to the source hear the song, and the sound fades with distance like ordinary voice. The feature is built around a song queue controlled from a screen inside the game.
Only the client needs the addon, so players install it themselves while the server can run without it. Simple Voice Chat is required and must be installed alongside it. The addon targets Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.11, and the latest file is 1.1.0, published on 2026-05-29. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Playback depends on two external tools, yt-dlp and FFmpeg. The author lists the Windows installation commands as winget install yt-dlp.yt-dlp and winget install Gyan.FFmpeg, run from PowerShell. Without them the addon cannot fetch or decode a song.
