EarthStonks supports proximity voice chat — talk to players near you in-game without Discord. This is an optional client-side mod that must be installed on your own launcher. The server supports it natively; you just need the mod on your end.
Optional Feature
Proximity Voice Chat is entirely optional. Players without the mod can still play normally — they simply won't hear or transmit in-game voice. All other gameplay is unaffected.
EarthStonks uses the Simple Voice Chat mod. It is available for both Fabric and Forge loaders and must be installed on your Minecraft client (not the server — the server side is already configured).

This mod must be installed on your own launcher — not on the server. The server already has the plugin running. You only need to install the client mod.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| V | Open the voice chat settings menu and test your microphone |
| Caps Lock (default) | Push-to-talk (configurable in settings) |
All keybinds can be customised in the Simple Voice Chat settings menu (press V in-game).
During a SiegeWar battle session, proximity voice chat lets your squad coordinate banner pushes and flanks in real time without switching to Discord. Players near the banner can hear each other — but so can enemies. Watch what you say.
Meet a resource seller at their town and negotiate prices face-to-face in-game. Proximity voice adds a layer of immersion to the EarthStonks geopolitical roleplay experience.
Using Radar Control to go dark before a siege? Proximity voice lets your team stay coordinated even when you're all off the map. Coordinate your positions verbally while invisible to the enemy.
