Voice Destroy
Speak it. Destroy it. Survive.
Voice Destroy is a multiplayer voice-controlled challenge mod for Minecraft. Saying the French name of a Minecraft block, item, potion or creature can immediately affect the world around every connected player.
The mod is designed for voluntary challenge servers where every participant understands that spoken words can cause large and unexpected changes to the world.
Offline French Speech Recognition
Speech recognition runs locally on each player's computer using the included Vosk French model.
No microphone recording is uploaded to an external speech-recognition service. Voice Destroy connects directly to Simple Voice Chat's audio stream to avoid opening the microphone twice.
The French model is embedded inside the mod, which explains the larger JAR size.
Voice Destruction
Depending on the server settings, a recognized word can:
- Remove matching blocks from loaded chunks around every player.
- Remove matching items from every connected player's inventory.
- Remove matching dropped items from loaded worlds.
- Remove matching potions, including normal, extended and strengthened variants.
- Remove passive creatures without generating items or experience.
- Spawn additional hostile creatures when the named monster is already within six blocks.
- Remove water, lava and other normally difficult-to-remove blocks.
- Empty containers before removing them, preventing their contents from dropping.
The loaded-chunk radius is configurable and every operation is processed progressively with a hard chunk limit to protect server performance.
French Dictionary and Variant Families
Voice Destroy uses Minecraft's official French translations and an extended dictionary of common player vocabulary.
Related variants are grouped together. For example:
- Logs, wood and planks include every wood type.
- Leaves and foliage include every tree variant.
- Sand includes normal and red sand.
- Meat includes raw meat, cooked meat, fish and rotten flesh.
- Trees include natural wood and leaves.
- Chests include normal, trapped and Ender chests.
- Potions include their different durations, strengths and bottle types.
- Tools such as swords include every material variant.
Server operators can add, edit or remove custom dictionary aliases directly from the in-game manager.
Multiplayer Teams
Voice Destroy includes a complete multiplayer team system:
- Leader, officer and member roles.
- Invitations using the connected-player selector.
- Private in-game team text chat.
- Persistent
/teamchatmode and/tc <message>. - Danger, enemy, resource and rally pings.
- Directional HUD arrows for the team base, pings and teammates.
- Teammate distance and health information.
- Intrusion alerts when an enemy enters a claimed base.
Team Voice Modes
The mod integrates with Simple Voice Chat and provides three operator-controlled team modes:
- OPEN: teammates can speak at unlimited distance while nearby outsiders remain audible.
- TEAM ONLY / ISOLATED: only members of the team can hear each other.
- PROXIMITY: normal proximity voice without a distant team group.
Only server operators can change these voice modes.
Protected Team Bases
A team leader receives a custom base banner.
Placing it creates a protected claim that starts at 3 × 3 chunks and can be upgraded to:
- 5 × 5 chunks using 16 diamonds.
- 7 × 7 chunks using 4 netherite ingots.
Enemies cannot break, place or use blocks inside another team's claim. Voice-triggered block destruction also ignores enemy claims.
Members can still build or accidentally destroy blocks inside their own claim, preserving the central challenge of the mod.
The leader also receives:
- A base detector that reports chest, construction and entity density above or below the player without revealing exact coordinates.
- A base radio that creates a rally alert and directional ping when used inside the team's claim.
