Minecraft can be tons of fun with friends, but theres only so much a text based chat can convey. You just cannot recreate the shock that your friend gets when they get surprise exploded by a creeper in a text chat. This is where Simple Voice Chat comes in, as it allows for your server to have a proximity based voice chat.
Note: Simple Voice Chat is both a Plugin and a Mod. In order for Simple Voice Chat to function, you must have it installed on a modded Minecraft client (Forge/NeoForge/Fabric/Quilt) in addition to server setup. More information can be found on their wiki.
