🆕 New Features

• Support for the new SimpleVoiceDistance mod protocol (v2): every client now receives the voice mode of all players, so voices fade out smoothly towards the edge of their range
• Admin menu in the mod: operators change distances and options in game, the plugin saves them to the config and syncs all players live
• Each voice mode can be switched on or off; new settings for fade, display style, player menu and more
• LuckPerms: per-group and per-player distances with the meta keys svd.distance.<whisper|normal|call|shout>
• LuckPerms: lock single modes with simplevoicedistance.mode.<mode>
• WorldGuard: region flags svd-muted, svd-distance and svd-mode
• PlaceholderAPI: %svd_mode%, %svd_mode_upper%, %svd_distance%, %svd_modded%
• Optional: vanished players (SuperVanish, PremiumVanish) are not heard (vanish-silences-voice)
• Developer API: SimpleVoiceDistanceAPI via the services manager and a cancellable VoiceModeChangeEvent
• New command /svd reload: reloads the config and syncs all players without a restart

⚡ Improvements

• Voices no longer travel between worlds
• Maximum distance is configurable (maxDistance)
• All mode changes (mod, command, API) go through one place, so permissions and the event always apply
• Folia: settings are saved asynchronously and player data is thread-safe
• Old and new mod versions work side by side (Fabric is detected automatically)
• Works on Paper and Folia 1.20 up to 26.3

🔧 Fixes

• The plugin no longer fails to start when Simple Voice Chat is missing; it prints a warning instead
• Permissions are removed completely when the plugin is disabled
• Mod clients no longer receive duplicate message listeners

⚠️ Notes

• Beta: please report bugs with your server, Simple Voice Chat and mod version
• Forge: old and new mod versions share one network channel. If all your Forge players use the v2 mod, set forge-v2-sync-enabled: true
• Existing configs keep working, new options use their defaults. Delete config.yml once if you want all new options written to the file.
