About
Voice Physics is an addon for Simple Voice Chat that makes proximity chat respond to distance, walls, corners and the surrounding environment. Players can choose Vanilla, Realistic, Clear or Stealth distance presets, or adjust how voices fade so they grow quieter at range instead of cutting off abruptly. Walls make voices quieter and duller, with materials such as wool and metal blocking more sound than glass and leaves; open doors let more sound through, and voices can travel around corners through doorways or windows. Echo varies with the surroundings, from brief reverberation in stone rooms to longer echoes in caves and halls, while forests and fields have none; water dulls voices, and rain and thunder mask distant speech. An optional HUD shows who is speaking, their distance and direction, and whether walls or corners affect their voice; a monitor and radar can show players within voice range, with high-contrast and colorblind-friendly display options. Players can share their sound settings through a profile code, and server settings can offer or enforce a common sound profile for events or fair PvP. When installed on a server, Voice Physics can muffle walls for players without the addon and create sound zones that change voice range, isolate an area, set wall strength or echo, and display an entry message. Server rules can make sneaking quieter, silence dead players, limit spectator chat to other spectators, or let a held item such as a goat horn carry a voice farther like a megaphone.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: launcher files.
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 3 files in your config folder.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. No web address is written in full in its code. See Privacy
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. Both are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Uses folders outside the gameReads launcher files.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of both files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
AI
AI was used for its code
Claude Code is named in the files of its repository.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
