Wiretap Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Minecraft Voice Surveillance & Speaker System for Roleplay

The Wiretap Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) adds an innovative audio system to Minecraft that enables voice relaying through in-game blocks. Designed specifically for immersive multiplayer and roleplay scenarios, this mod introduces microphone and speaker blocks that transmit player voice chat within configurable distances. Perfect for espionage, intercom setups, or thematic server storytelling, it transforms ordinary builds into dynamic, audio-aware environments.

This mod relies on integration with the Simple Voice Chat mod and emphasizes ethical, informed use on multiplayer servers. With full customization options and survival-friendly crafting methods, Wiretap brings high-level interaction and creativity to Minecraft roleplay.

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.
