Bedrock Realms Support

Yes, starting with Bedrock Voice Chat 1.0.0-beta.15, Realms are supported

How does it Work?

Bedrock Voice Chat works with Realms through a combination of a custom mcaddon behavior pack for your server, and by directly intercepting and proxying Bedrock's internal network protocol. You Bedrock Voice Chat client will become your Minecraft Bedrock server, and relay all packets that arrive to it, through the client, which will enable Bedrock Voice Chat to facilitate player location data for speech, and jukebox events.

Limitations

Due to the limitations of Minecraft Bedrock's addon system, Bedrock Voice Chat is extremely constrained in options for how to facilitate connectivity to Aternos, Realms, and other services. Consequently, this has a few side effects all players should be aware of:

1. The mcaddon is locked to a specific version. Beta.13 for instance, only works with Bedrock 26.30.
2. Bedrock Voice Chat client only can support certain Minecraft Bedrock versions and network protocols. Every Minecraft Bedrock editions changes and breaks Bedrock's packet protocol. Mojang does not publish an accurate spec for their packet protocol, and doesn't guarantee the packet protocol will be delivered timely. The process to reverse engineer this is very timely, and as of such there is zero support on day one for new Minecraft version. Manual work is required each and every update to facilitate this.

The best way around these limitations is to:

• Support Bedrock Voice Chat on Patreon, or via a Youtube Membership. Patreons + Members get early access to working builds + packs they can install on their server, which means they will have support before everyone else does.
• OR run Bedrock Server directly, which doesn't require any of these work-arounds
• Nethernet (the networking protocol Realms uses) has a cooltime timer on connect. If you disconnect from the Realms Connect feature, you'll need to wait on average 5 minutes for this cooldown to reset if your realm goes idle.

The effort for supporting Realms is best-effort, and future Minecraft updates may break or eliminate the ability to support Bedrock Voice Chat entirely on these platforms.

Installing Bedrock Voice Chat to Realms

1. Install the Bedrock Voice Chat client from https://www.bedrockvoicechat.com#downloads for your device.
2. Install and Configure Bedrock Voice Chat server. Follow the guide at: https://github.com/Alaydriem/bedrock-voice-chat/wiki#2-run-the-bvc-server

You must complete BOTH STEPS before you can install and configure the mod for your Realm.

3. Download and install the no-net.mcaddon package from Github Releases, specifically the mods- release: https://github.com/Alaydriem/bedrock-voice-chat/tags, or from Curseforge.

You MUST download the no-net.mcaddon package. You MUST be using beta.13 or higher for Bedrock Voice Chat to run.

4. Double click the no-net.mcaddon package, and install it to your local Minecraft Bedrock client.
5. Create a new world, click on Behavior Packs, and install the Bedrock Voice Chat Realms + No-Net addon you created earlier.

6. Under experiments, enable Beta APIs

7. Create your world on your Realm.

8. Exit your Realm after it is saved.

9. Login to the Bedrock Voice Chat client to the server you created in step #2, click on the settings cog at the bottom left, then click on RealmsConnect in the left sidebar. If this is your first time visiting this page, you will need to sign-in again.

10. Select your realm

11. Open Minecraft

• a) If you are on mobile or desktop where you can enter your custom server address + port EITHER
  • i) Enter the hostname of your BVC server and leave the port at 19132
  • i)) OR enter the IP listed under the From another device on your LAN (phone, tablet) section as your server address

b) If you are on console, first make sure your DNS server in your console is set to the IP address of your Bedrock Voice Chat server for BOTH the primary and secondary IP address. The click on "Hive" under featured servers. You will be seamlessly redirected to your Realm.

Console requires the DNS responder, which is off by default. Consoles cannot enter a custom server address, so they reach BVC by pointing DNS at your server. That responder is disabled unless the operator enables it:

server {
    bedrock {
        dns {
            enabled = true
        }
    }
}

Port 53 must also be reachable from the console's network, and binding it needs elevated privileges (or CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE on Linux). See BVC Server Installation.

BEDROCK VOICE CHAT WILL NOT WORK IF YOU CONNECT THROUGH THE REALMS TAB. YOU MUST USE REALMS CONNECT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BEDROCK VOICE CHAT ON REALMS.

12. Enjoy Minecraft with Bedrock Voice Chat on your Realm.
