What is the Distant Voices Client?
Distant Voices (or The Distant Voices Client) is a client/pack designed primarily for use on the Distant Voices server.
The Client/Pack hosts a large variety of mods used to create the experience of an almost singleplayer experience by removing almost all communication methods between players execept for proximity voice chat and radios/radio stations that players have to setup themselves.
Player name tags no longer show and players can rename themselves with a name tag to appear as someone else in the proximity text chat. Players can also disguse as other players skins by equiping the players head.

Frequently Asked Questions
Distant Voices server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 8 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.
How much RAM does a Distant Voices server really need?
Minimum 6 GB, recommended 8 GB for stable performance. per 5 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €12/month).
Can I add custom mods to Distant Voices without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.

1) Increase RAM to 8 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
