Simple Voice Chat integration

Requires Simple Voice Chat (version 2.5 or newer). All voice-related features only work with this mod. Other voice chat mods (e.g. Plasmo Voice) are not supported. Echolocation works fine without it; you just won’t get the voice features.

• Speaking players light up. While a player talks, their silhouette flashes and a small echo spreads from them. Louder voices reach further, and whispering gives a small radius.
• Your own voice is echolocation too. Talking reveals the area around you.
• New “Voice chat” settings tab (Settings → Voice chat…), containing:
  • toggles for Other players’ voices and Own voice;
  • Voice glow slider: brightness of voice reveals;
  • Voice density slider: point density of voice reveals;
  • a status line showing whether Simple Voice Chat is detected.
• Voice features work independently of the Passive echo setting.

Pulse sound

• The sonar pulse now makes a sound. The default is the sculk sensor click.
• Other choices: Amethyst, Bell, Resonate or Off, with a separate volume slider.
• If the mod is also installed on the server, nearby players hear your pulse, and their passive echolocation reveals you.

Ore highlight

• New Ore highlight toggle, on by default.
• Ores show more points and a faint warm tint, so you can find them while blind without them glowing.
• Works with all vanilla ores (including Nether gold and ancient debris) and modded ores that use the forge:ores tag.
• Only exposed ore faces are revealed. Nothing shows through stone.

Mob visibility fixes

• Mobs hidden behind walls now only counts solid blocks. Grass, flowers, leaves and glass no longer hide mobs, which made low mobs like spiders hard or impossible to see.
• Mobs standing on or against blocks no longer partly sink into the terrain.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a crash when dragging settings sliders. The config file was being written on every mouse movement.

Notes

• The network protocol changed. If you play on a server, both the server and all players need this version.
• Some settings were reorganized. Voice echo and Own voice echo moved to a new [voice] config section and reset to their defaults (on) once.
