CookieVoicechatBan

Managing a Minecraft server is about more than just keeping the chat clean. With the rise of voice chat mods like SimpleVoiceChat, server administrators now face the challenge of moderating spoken conversations as well. CookieVoicechatBan is the dedicated solution that puts voice moderation directly into your hands, allowing you to ban and unban players from voice channels with simple commands and robust permission controls.

What is CookieVoicechatBan?

CookieVoicechatBan is a lightweight yet powerful Paper plugin designed for Minecraft servers running version 1.21.x. It seamlessly integrates with the popular SimpleVoiceChat mod to give server staff the ability to mute or completely ban disruptive individuals from voice communication. Unlike generic moderation tools, this plugin focuses exclusively on voice chat, ensuring that your server's audio environment remains friendly and free from harassment. The plugin stores all bans persistently, so even after a server restart, the restrictions remain in place.

Key Features of CookieVoicechatBan

This plugin brings a professional level of voice moderation to your Minecraft community. Here are the standout features that make CookieVoicechatBan a must-have for any server using SimpleVoiceChat:

• Voice Chat Bans and Unbans: Instantly prevent a player from using voice chat or restore their access with simple commands.
• Persistent Storage: All bans are saved to disk, meaning they survive server restarts and crashes without any extra configuration.
• Customizable Messages: Use the MiniMessage format to craft personalized ban notifications that match your server's style.
• Permission-Based Access: Fine-grained permissions ensure only trusted staff members can issue or revoke voice bans.
• SimpleVoiceChat API Integration: Works directly with the SimpleVoiceChat plugin to enforce bans at the audio level.
• Modern Command Handling: Built on Paper's command API for reliable and efficient execution.

Commands and Permissions

CookieVoicechatBan keeps things straightforward with two essential commands. Each command is tied to a specific permission node, giving you full control over who can moderate voice chat.

• /vcban <player> — Bans a player from using voice chat. Requires the permission cookievcban.ban.
• /vcunban <player> — Removes an existing voice chat ban. Requires the permission cookievcban.unban.

These commands are designed to be intuitive for any staff member familiar with standard moderation tools. The permission system integrates with any existing permissions plugin, such as LuckPerms, allowing you to assign voice moderation roles effortlessly.

How to Install CookieVoicechatBan

Getting started with CookieVoicechatBan is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to add voice moderation to your Paper server:

1. Ensure you are running a Paper server on Minecraft version 1.21.5 or another compatible 1.21.x build.
2. Install the SimpleVoiceChat plugin. CookieVoicechatBan depends on it to function.
3. Download CookieVoicechatBan and place the jar file into your server's plugins folder.
4. Restart your server to generate the default configuration file.
5. Open plugins/CookieVCBan/config.yml and adjust settings such as ban messages to your liking.

If you manage your server through the foxygame.net launcher, you can skip the manual download entirely. The launcher's built-in add-on catalog includes CookieVoicechatBan, allowing you to install it with a single click and automatically keep it updated alongside your other server mods.

Configuring the Plugin

After installation, you will find a configuration file at plugins/CookieVCBan/config.yml. This file lets you customize the messages displayed when a player is banned or unbanned from voice chat. The plugin uses the MiniMessage format, which supports rich text features like colors, gradients, and hover events. For example, you can set a friendly but firm message that appears when a banned player attempts to use voice chat. All changes take effect after a server reload or restart.

Why Choose CookieVoicechatBan for Your Server?

Voice chat adds a new layer of social interaction to Minecraft, but it also opens the door to toxicity that text-based filters cannot catch. CookieVoicechatBan fills this gap by giving server staff a dedicated tool to handle voice-related issues. Unlike global mute plugins, it targets only the voice chat system, leaving text chat unaffected. This precision makes it ideal for roleplay servers, minigame networks, and any community that values clear audio communication.

Seamless Integration with SimpleVoiceChat

Because CookieVoicechatBan is built specifically for SimpleVoiceChat, it hooks directly into the voice chat API. When a player is banned, they are immediately silenced without any lag or awkward workarounds. The plugin also respects the permission hierarchy, so you can grant voice-ban powers to moderators without giving them access to other administrative commands.

Persistent and Reliable

All bans are stored in a local database file, meaning your moderation decisions are never lost. Even if you update the plugin or move to a new server version, the ban list remains intact. This reliability makes CookieVoicechatBan a trustworthy component of your server's moderation toolkit.

Download CookieVoicechatBan for Minecraft

Ready to take control of your server's voice channels? You can download CookieVoicechatBan from popular Minecraft plugin repositories. Simply search for "CookieVoicechatBan for Minecraft" to find the latest release compatible with Paper 1.21.x. Remember that the plugin requires SimpleVoiceChat to be installed first. Once both are in place, your staff can start issuing voice bans immediately.

Final Thoughts

Voice communication is becoming a standard part of the Minecraft multiplayer experience, and with it comes the need for responsible moderation. CookieVoicechatBan delivers exactly that — a focused, easy-to-use tool that integrates perfectly with SimpleVoiceChat. Whether you run a small community server or a large network, this plugin helps you maintain a respectful and enjoyable voice chat environment. For those using the foxygame.net launcher, the add-on catalog makes it even simpler to discover and install CookieVoicechatBan with automatic version matching, so you can spend less time on setup and more time playing.
