Simple Voice Radio 📻

Simple Voice Radio > Adds **radio blocks** with a **frequency-based** broadcasting system - talk with teammates, stream music, run a news station, or build anything else you can **imagine**, all across large distances. Needs **[PlasmoVoice](https://modrinth.com/project/1bZhdhsH)** or **[SimpleVoiceChat](https://modrinth.com/project/9eGKb6K1)**, also works with: **[CustomDiscsSVC](https://modrinth.com/project/1yowwDpk)** and **[pv-addon-discs](https://modrinth.com/project/WXJRlyZ9)** --- Radio modes > **Output** - The default mode. Plays everything sent on its frequency, audible within `15 blocks`. > **Input** - Toggled with a `right-click`. Picks up the voices of players within `15 blocks` and sends them to every Output radio on its frequency. > **Broadcast** - Started with the `play_audio` subcommand. All specified Output radios play audio from a file or URL. > **Listen** - Activates when a jukebox under the radio plays a disc from **[CustomDiscsSVC](https://modrinth.com/project/1yowwDpk)** or **[pv-addon-discs](https://modrinth.com/project/WXJRlyZ9)**. Transmits the music on its frequency (works like `Input`). > **Destroyed** - The radio was burned out by lightning. It no longer works and doesn't drop anything. --- Radio skins > The radio doesn't need a resource pack. It uses **[Display Entities](https://docs.papermc.io/paper/dev/display-entities/)**, specifically player heads. To use your own textures, edit the texture files and add your **[MineSkin](https://account.mineskin.org/keys/)** api key to `config.yml`: after the next restart, the plugin will update the textures in game. --- Signal Output System > With `signal_output_system: true` in `config.yml`, the radio emits a **redstone signal** while it plays sound. The closer the speaker is to the Input radio, the stronger the signal: `15` right next to it, `1` at the edge of the 15-block radius, and discs and broadcasts always give 15. Only radios in Output and Broadcast modes emit a signal, and it stops when the sound does. The setting applies after a restart and doesn't work together with `redstone_frequency`. --- > The antenna only works with `mode: chunk` in `config.yml`. Lightning rods are stacked on top of the radio, and their number sets how many chunks in each direction the transmission reaches: 3 without rods, `10` with one, then `30`, `50`, `70`... > The range is set by the transmitter, but **both** it and the receiver need `3` *(by default)* free blocks above the antenna (glass, torches and other **non-solid** blocks don't get in the way). > A lightning strike on a rod on top of the radio **burns it out** for good, in **any** mode, as long as `lightning_destroys_radio` is enabled. --- > The radio can broadcast discs from **[CustomDiscsSVC](https://modrinth.com/project/1yowwDpk)** and **[pv-addon-discs](https://modrinth.com/project/WXJRlyZ9)**. Place a jukebox directly under the radio and play a disc in it: the radio switches to `Listen` mode and transmits the music on its frequency, the same way `Input` transmits voice. --- Frequency System > Each radio has a frequency from `1` to `15` *(by default)*. Sound is only transmitted between radios on the same frequency. If several players speak into `Input` radios on the same frequency, their voices are heard together. --- Redstone Frequency > The `redstone_frequency` option in `config.yml` decides where the radio gets its frequency from. With `false` *(default)*, players change the frequency: sneak + right-click raises it by one. > With `true`, the frequency becomes the strength of the **redstone signal** powering the block, from 0 to 15. It changes along with the signal. In this mode you can only switch between Input and Output while the radio is receiving a signal. --- Commands > **play_audio** **file** `` `[frequency|all]` `[loop]` - broadcasts an **MP3/OGG/WAV** file from the `plugins/SimpleVoiceRadio/audio/` folder. > **play_audio** **url** `` `[frequency|all]` `[loop]` - broadcasts audio from a URL. > **play_audio** **stop** - stops the broadcast. > With a frequency number, only radios on that frequency will hear it. With `all` or no value, every radio will. `loop` repeats the recording, and only one broadcast can run at a time. --- > **give** `` - gives a radio. You can use a selector, for example `@a`. --- > **reload** - reloads `config.yml`, `texture.yml` and the crafting recipe. Some settings still only apply after a restart. --- > **view_craft** - shows the radio crafting recipe. ---
