VoiceChatModerator

VoiceChatModerator is a client-side Fabric mod for Simple Voice Chat that shows you who is currently speaking, can optionally display spoken text, and archives conversations locally as audio and text.

The mod is designed for server moderation, event support, documentation, and anyone who wants to review or search voice chat sessions later.

Highlights

• Live speaker overlay in the HUD
• Transcript above player name tags
• Local recordings as audio and text
• In-game browser for saved sessions
• Export feature for individual recordings
• Optional speech-to-text
• Client-side – no server-side mod required

What the mod does

While you are using Simple Voice Chat, the mod detects incoming voice activity and can make it visible in several ways:

Speaker Overlay

A clean HUD overlay shows which players are currently speaking. Depending on your configuration, it can display things like:

• player names
• distance
• volume
• short transcript snippets

Name Tag Transcript

If speech-to-text is enabled, spoken text can be displayed above the player's head.

Recording & Archive

Conversations are saved locally, split by hour and organized by:

• server
• player
• date
• hour

Depending on your settings, this creates:

• .wav or .mp3 files
• matching .txt files with transcript content

Browser & Export

The built-in browser lets you search through your recordings directly in-game and export them when needed.

Who is this mod for?

VoiceChatModerator is especially useful for:

• moderation teams on community servers
• event or roleplay organization
• documenting conversations
• reviewing incidents
• players who want a better overview of voice chat activity

Speech-to-Text

Speech-to-text is optional and can be turned off completely.

At the moment, the mod mainly supports these approaches:

• DIRECT – directly local inside the mod
• API – through an external compatible service

If you only want the overlay and recordings, you can simply leave speech-to-text disabled.

Hotkeys

• F6 – toggle overlay
• F7 – open recording browser
• F8 – toggle recording

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.11
• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API
• Simple Voice Chat
• Java 21+
• ModMenu optional, but recommended

Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader
2. Put Fabric API into your mods folder
3. Put Simple Voice Chat into your mods folder
4. Put VoiceChatModerator into your mods folder
5. Optionally install ModMenu for easier configuration

Quick Start

Without Speech-to-Text

If you only want the moderation and recording features at first:

1. Start the game
2. Disable STT in the settings
3. Enable recording
4. Use F7 later to browse saved recordings

With Speech-to-Text

Enable STT in the configuration and choose a supported method. Spoken content can then appear in the overlay, as name tag text, and in saved transcript files depending on your settings.

Recording Location

Recordings are stored locally in your Minecraft directory:

.minecraft/VoiceChatRecord/

Important Notes

• This mod is client-side.
• It does not replace Simple Voice Chat; it extends it.
• Audio and transcripts are stored locally on your computer.
• Speech-to-text quality may vary depending on language, audio quality, and background noise.

In Short

If you want to see who is speaking, what was said, and keep a local record of voice conversations in Minecraft, VoiceChatModerator is made for exactly that.
