Description
Proximity chat for roleplay servers, SMPs and Realms on Minecraft Bedrock. Talk only to the players around you, shout a bit further, broadcast to the whole server, or send a private message — all from one small menu.
Built on the stable Script API for Minecraft Bedrock 1.26.60+ — no Beta APIs, no experiments.
🎉 What's New in v1.0.6
- No Beta APIs needed. The add-on now runs on the stable game API, so it keeps working after game updates.
- Messages are sent from a menu — sneak + use a Paper. (The stable API does not let add-ons read the normal chat, so the old
!prefix is gone.) - Shout channel — a wider radius than local chat (200 blocks by default).
- Private messages (DM) — pick an online player from a list.
- Admin tools — in-game settings, mute / unmute, mutes list, chat spy.
- World operators are chat admins — no
admintag needed for the world or Realm owner. - Anti-spam cooldown and a 256-character message limit.
📢 Channels
| Channel | Who hears it | Looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Local | Players within 100 blocks | [L 12m] Steve: hello — with the distance to the speaker |
| Shout | Players within 200 blocks | [S 150m] Steve: over here! |
| Global | Everyone on the server | [G] Steve: selling diamonds |
| DM | One player | [DM] Steve » Alex: psst |
If nobody is close enough, you are told that nobody heard you.
✨ Features
- One menu for everything — sneak + use a Paper.
- Distance indicator on local and shout messages — great for roleplay.
- In-game settings for admins: radii, cooldown and the colors of every channel. No file editing.
- Mute system — mute a player for any number of minutes, see and lift active mutes.
- Chat spy — staff with the
chat_spytag see local, shout and private messages they would otherwise miss. - Anti-spam — a configurable cooldown between messages.
- Localized — English and Ukrainian.
- Lightweight — no databases, no tick loops.
🎮 How to Use
Players: hold a Paper, sneak and use it → choose Local, Global, Shout or Private message → type and send.
Admins: be a world operator or run /tag @s add admin. The same menu then shows Config, Mute / Unmute and Mutes list.
Chat spy: /tag <staff> add chat_spy.
The normal chat box still works as vanilla global chat. For a strict roleplay server, tell players to use the menu — or mute the vanilla chat in your world settings.
