Voice Chat Visualizer
See who's talking. A lightweight, client-side overlay for Simple Voice Chat that shows the players speaking around you — their face, name and a live voice waveform that reacts to how loud they talk.
When several people are nearby and someone starts speaking, you instantly know who it is.
✨ Features
- Live speaker overlay — face + name + animated indicator for everyone you can currently hear.
- Reacts to loudness — the waveform pulses with the speaker's actual volume, not just on/off.
- All voice modes — proximity, locational and group (static) audio.
- Fully draggable HUD — put it anywhere on screen, align left/right, list grows up or down.
- Professional in-game configurator — tabs for Position, Appearance, Colors and Behavior, with HSV + hex color pickers and a live preview that uses sample speakers, so you can tune everything solo without a second player online.
- Smart layout — the settings panel automatically moves to the opposite side of the overlay, so it never covers the element you're positioning.
- Deeply customizable — face size (down to 4 px), name scale & max width, background & border, corner radius, padding, distance display, max entries, fade in/out, hold time, slide-in animation, loudness sensitivity, sort order, whisper marking, "show myself", and indicator style (wave / bars / dot).
- Sensible minimal defaults — clean look out of the box (small face, no background).
- Keybinds — open the configurator (default V) and toggle the overlay.
- Mod Menu integration.
- English & Polish translations built in.
🎛️ How it works
Voice Chat Visualizer hooks into the Simple Voice Chat plugin API and listens (read-only) to the audio you receive. For every voice packet you hear, it shows that player in the overlay and fades them out shortly after they stop — so the list always reflects who is actually talking near you. Names and skins come from the tab list, so they're correct even for players behind a wall.
📦 What you need
- Fabric API and Simple Voice Chat — the server must run Simple Voice Chat, as usual.
- Mod Menu (optional — adds a Configure button).
Client-side only — you don't need it on the server.
