VoiceCraft.Java

The ultimate cross-client proximity voice chat plugin connecting VoiceCraft, Simple Voice Chat, and Plasmo Voice across Java and Bedrock.

VoiceCraft.Java brings players using different voice clients into one shared proximity voice space. A player using Simple Voice Chat can talk to someone using Plasmo Voice or the standalone VoiceCraft client - and hear them back through the client they already use.

It is especially useful for cross-play servers. Java players can keep their preferred voice-chat mods, while Bedrock players joining through Geyser can participate through the VoiceCraft client without installing Java mods.

One server, every supported client

Player client	How it connects
VoiceCraft client	Connects to the VoiceCraft backend and binds to the Minecraft player with /voice bind
Simple Voice Chat	Connects directly to the built-in Paper adapter
Plasmo Voice	Connects directly to the built-in Paper adapter
Bedrock through Geyser	Uses the standalone VoiceCraft client with no Java client mod required

All connected players share the same positional audio environment. VoiceCraft.Java synchronizes Minecraft worlds, positions, rotation, proximity distance, cave echo, underwater muffling, player identity, speaking lifecycle, and supported mute/deafen states.

Features

• Cross-client proximity audio between VoiceCraft, Simple Voice Chat, and Plasmo Voice.
• Voice chat for Java and Bedrock players in the same conversation.
• Built-in SVC and Plasmo protocol adapters — no separate server-side voice plugin required.
• Automatic VoiceCraft Server download, configuration, startup, and shutdown on Paper.
• Direct mode for a single Paper server.
• Velocity and BungeeCord mode for multi-server networks.
• UDP relay support for SVC and Plasmo across proxy networks.
• Position, dimension, proximity, cave echo, and underwater audio synchronization.
• Localized configuration and messages.

Vanilla and Bedrock voice statuses

Players without SVC or Plasmo can see lightweight vanilla-compatible voice statuses above other unmodded players. The indicators work through Geyser and show whether a player is disconnected, connected, speaking, muted, or deafened.

The overlay is viewer-scoped: players using SVC or Plasmo never receive it, so it does not overlap the native indicators provided by their mods. Every symbol, color, height, update interval, and view distance can be configured.

Installation modes

Paper

Install the Paper jar for a standalone server. VoiceCraft.Java can automatically download and manage a matching VoiceCraft Server runtime, or connect to an existing VoiceCraft backend.

Enable the Simple Voice Chat and/or Plasmo Voice adapters in config.yml when those clients should be accepted. Both adapters are disabled by default.

Velocity or BungeeCord

Install VoiceCraft.Java on the proxy and every Paper backend. The proxy owns the central VoiceCraft connection, while backend servers provide player state and adapter sessions. Optional UDP relays keep SVC and Plasmo clients connected while players move between backend servers.

Requirements

• Java 21.
• Paper for voice adapters and managed VoiceCraft runtime support.
• Velocity or BungeeCord only when running a multi-server network.
• Reachable UDP ports for every enabled voice adapter.

When a VoiceCraft.Java adapter is enabled, it acts as the server endpoint for that client mod. Do not run the original Simple Voice Chat or Plasmo Voice server plugin on the same Paper instance using the same protocol channels or ports.

VoiceCraft.Java focuses on the shared experience that matters across clients: proximity audio, identity, speaking state, and voice controls. Client-exclusive features such as private Simple Voice Chat groups remain within their own ecosystem instead of being falsely emulated for other clients.

Supported platforms

• Paper
• Purpur
• Velocity
• BungeeCord
