Proximity
A simple Proximity Text chat mod/API
Proximity modifies the vanilla chat system in order to make it proximity based. This includes:
- Configurable chat distance
- Configurable chat command distance (/me /say)
- Configurable Mumble command for talking to people very close by (/mumble or /m)
- Shout command which everyone can hear (/shout or /s)
Everything is configurable via gamerules
Proximity also offers a simple api that other mods can use to integrate with proximity's proximity chat system
- Mods can force certain players to be able to hear/not hear other players under certain circumstances
- Mods can modify the position that proximity will use for distance calculations so that, for Example, a mod that adds some sort of machine in a box can make the location the outside of the box.
Proximity also adds 2 attributes:
- Hearing distance which increases the distance (in blocks) a player will be able to hear messages from
- Speaking distance which increases the distance (in blocks) a player's messages will be heard from
