About the plugin
RefontTransmitter adds realistic radio communication to Minecraft servers that use Plasmo Voice. Players can use radios with channels, range limits, interference, signal loss and an external speaker. The goal is to make server communication feel like actual radio work instead of normal global voice chat.
The plugin is useful for RP, military, police, emergency service, survival, stalker-like and event servers. It works with Paper and is designed to support both modern and older server versions.
Features
- Up to 999 channels - configure channel limits for your server.
- Range up to 1800 blocks - radio communication depends on distance.
- Dynamic interference - weak signal can add glitches and dropouts.
- External speaker - nearby players can hear radio output in space.
- State display - OFF, TX and RX states are visible on the radio.
- Channel switching - change channels through item controls.
- Configurable activation - tune behavior for your gameplay style.
- Resource-pack support - different assets for different Minecraft versions.
- Diagnostics - command for support and server checks.
