Wiretap Mod

Features:

  • Crafting Wiretap Devices: Rename a Calibrated Skulk Sensor to “wiretap” using an anvil (requires 1 XP in survival) to create either a microphone or speaker block.
  • Microphone Block: Captures player voice within a customizable range (default: 32 blocks) and transmits it to a linked speaker.
  • Speaker Block: Outputs the microphone audio to nearby players using the same unique ID as its paired microphone.
  • Integration with Simple Voice Chat: Voice audio is captured and relayed through this system, extending the functionality of existing voice chat setups.
  • /wiretap items Command: Allows OPs to give themselves microphone and speaker items directly for fast setup and testing.
  • Customizable Settings: Server admins can modify pickup range, speaker range, audio quality (e.g., “old_speaker”), permission levels, packet size, and enable/disable crafting.
