# MineboxAdditions 1.0.9 – Voice and Weather
## ✨ New Features
Voice Chat System
Introduced an integrated voice chat with two modes:
Proximity Chat (up to 48 blocks): Features spatial audio. This is currently in beta, so expect occasional directional audio quirks.
Private Rooms: Join invite-only voice channels for private conversations.
Voice chat access is managed via the base command: /mba vc
Access and adjust your audio device/settings via the default L key.
⚠️ Audio input/output is disabled while the settings screen is open.
📌 Note: You cannot be in both Proximity and Private channels simultaneously.
📌 Note 2: Modified MineboxAdditions clients could potentially ONLY HEAR Proximity channel users from > 48 blocks, this is due to the fact I took the decision to NOT track Players locations but instead relying on pure client data.
Voice Chat Privacy Policy
The voice chat feature in MineboxAdditions transmits voice data through a server only for the purpose of real-time communication between players.
- No voice data is stored on the server.
- No recordings are made.
- Voice data is used only to broadcast audio to other users in your current voice channel (Proximity or Private).
- No personal information is collected or logged in relation to voice communication.
I am committed to ensuring your privacy while enabling in-game voice chat.
Weather Overlay
Rain and Storm countdowns will now be visually indicated on screen when known.
📌 Note: For now, only English clients can report weather forecast to MineboxAdditions server, but all clients can benefit them.
