Proximity Voice Chat for Minecraft Bedrock & Java Finally, voice chat in Minecraft without complicated setup! Forget Discord, external calls, or renting servers just to talk to your friends. VCMC connects your voice directly to the game using its own dedicated server - you just open the app, paste a command in Minecraft chat, and you're done. WHY IS IT DIFFERENT? VCMC handles all the infrastructure for you. No need to configure IPs, open ports, or pay anything extra. The system detects nearby friends and connects their audio automatically. (Some hosts outside of Aternos may require the server-net module.) COMPATIBLE WITH BEDROCK AND JAVA Local Minecraft Bedrock worlds Bedrock servers (via our official Addon) Java servers with Geyser (via our official Plugin) FEATURES Connect via Command Copy the code the app gives you and paste it into Minecraft chat. The Addon or Plugin links your voice to your player. Real Proximity Voice You only hear players who are near you in the game. The farther away they are, the quieter they sound. Perfect for Survival, Adventure Maps, Minigames, and Roleplay. Also Available on Windows and Linux VCMC has a desktop version for Windows and Linux, with more platforms coming soon. Use it on your computer while gaming, no phone needed. Floating Bubble (Overlay) Control your microphone without leaving the game. Mute yourself or enable voice from the floating bubble while you keep playing. Forced Mute for Admins Server admins can mute specific players directly from Minecraft with a single command. HOW TO GET STARTED Download the app and create a room. Install the Addon in your Minecraft world or server. Copy the command the app gives you. Paste it into the game chat. Done! Now you can talk to your friends. Official documentation: https://antoic.netlify.app/docs/vcmc.html Unofficial Minecraft application. VCMC is not affiliated with Mojang AB.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: BlockGraver at none against VCMC's shown. BlockGraver also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). VCMC's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (203 vs 26). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
