Proximity voice chat?!

[Nostalgion]

What i hope to be added is the support of this mod > http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum...glibys-voice-chat-mod-voice-chat-in-minecraft.
What this is in short is a proximity voice chat mod utilizing 3d sound, meaning players close to you sound loud, far away sound quieter, and out of range you can not hear, what the server would need to my understanding to support this is a plugin, i hope a dev might look into this, of course there are risks to voice chatting,
1: no filter, (you can mute people if you want)
2: no logs to ban on if people break chat rules
3: people messing with others by screaming or making other loud sounds
Basically if this were to be implemented, players would need to know the risks and be okay with them if they want to use it.

Would give players who use it an advantage to players who dont have it, -1

I agree with PlayMoreee. It would give an unfair advantage in pvp. I suggest you use subtitles (is a decent replacement for proximity audio). They'll show you noises that are within a certain radius of you and where they're coming from. Very useful imo.

Edit: Oh I should note, you can turn subtitles on in your Sound Settings in the esc menu of MC.

I don't think you're understanding, this would be to talk to other players, not subtitles

You said something about 3d sound?

I am going to regret this...

I have seen this mod before, mainly being used in Tyrants and Plebians. While some say it does give it an advantage (which it does), there isn't going to be a difference.

People on this server generally know the secret messaging in Team Chat. That in itself gives players advantages as they are able to make messages in secret from others.

"But Wolf, this is used as a voice chat, not typed." And I see your reasoning, my ambitious friend. However, there is something else that overrides it. Discord/Skype/Teamspeak

I bet you can see where this is going. People who do not have those apps have a disadvantage already, so adding the mod wouldn't make much of difference other than adding some realism to it. So unless staff is planning to have those apps ban-worthy, then I do not see why this mod should not be added.

I'm sorry, Cat. I swear, I will never go against you in another thread, even if it is something I want to discuss.

This would require everyone to download the mod, and may be to hard to handle for gamers who’s pc is trash. However I love the idea, and hope to see an in game voice chat within the Minecraft client through upcoming updates. Highly doubt this will be added, but it’s still something that’s up for debate through the Mojang community.

Have a great holiday,

This actually makes sense. To be fair, I've never even heard of such a mod. However, it would require everyone to get it, and tbh, I'm too lazy to download everything. Then there's the technicalities of whether or not it's an unfair advantage yadda-yadda-yadda. Too much work, imo.

Also, feel free to call me out/disagree with me. Just cuz I'm your friend and a Helper doesn't mean you can't have a differing opinion. Now, I may come back with a strong rebuttal, but don't be scared. Make that little voice of yours heard. One of the reasons the community is so toxic is because people blindly follow and accept everything they read. Keep that in mind, mi amigo!
