Voice Chat - Global Spectator Chat

Players in spectator mode normally cannot talk with the rest of the server through voice. This addon opens a dedicated channel for them, so spectators can speak with other spectators regardless of distance or dimension, and can switch between spectator mode and normal play without losing that channel. The channel is non-positional, which makes it work like the group feature of Simple Voice Chat rather than like proximity chat.

The addon is controlled by commands. They can enable or disable the global spectator voice chat, and they can change how spectators interact with voice chat groups. Two options are offered for that interaction: spectators hear only other spectators in their Simple Voice Chat group, while non-spectator group members continue to hear the spectators' own group. Running the commands requires operator access, or a permission plugin that grants the global spectator vc.permission.command permission. The mod is open source under the MIT License and requires Simple Voice Chat on every server that runs it.

Global Spectator Chat is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and also runs on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and Folia servers. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.21.11 as the latest file for each loader, and the mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it.
