"I recommend using a Fabric Client with Sodium installed. Minecraft version 1.16.5 is the most optimized version of minecraft, It may be outdated but our 1.21.8 server fully supports this version" - Server Owner

SimpleProximityChat allows for ingame Voice Chat. It does require a mod to be installed on your own minecraft client (Java edition only), When going near another player with the same mod installed, you will be able to hear one another. SimpleProximityChat is a lot more realistic than a normal Discord call, voices fade as you create distance with one another, it allows for group chats, as well as echo in caves and much more.

The Discord Brige allows players on JAVA without the mod installed on their client, to still communicate with those that have the mod, by joining one of three discord calls, keep in mind that this requires linking accounts if discord and java usernames are different.

0

If SimpleProximityChat is installed on your Minecraft client, no linking is needed.

If you plan to use SimpleProximityChat inside our Discord server, You simply Type "/dvc start" on Doge SMP, then join  the Discord Voice Chat group with one of the 3 bot already on it. SimpleProximityChat Bridge brings Java-only in-game voice chat directly into Discord voice channels with real distance-based effects.
