Squid Server 0.1 (beta)

NOT AN OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG OR MICROSOFT.

Beta. Squid is still being tested, so things can change before 1.0.

The Squid Server runs a Minecraft server with Squid, so players who have Squid get voice chat on it. Players without Squid can still join: to them it's a normal Minecraft server.

Starting it

1. Unzip it where you want the server to live. You need Java 25 or newer (java -version), from adoptium.net if yours is older.
2. Windows: double-click start.bat. Mac or Linux: sh start.sh
3. The first time, Squid downloads Minecraft's server straight from Mojang (and checks Mojang's fingerprint), then Minecraft stops and makes eula.txt. Read Mojang's EULA (the link is inside). If you agree, change eula=false to eula=true yourself and start it again.

Everything else is a normal Minecraft server: server.properties, worlds, whitelist and ops all work the same.

Voice chat

On by default. Settings are in config/squid-voice.properties:

Setting	What it does
enabled=true	false turns voice chat off
mode=proximity	proximity (players near each other), world (everyone) or groups (only people in the same group)
distance=48	how far voices carry in proximity mode, 8 to 128 blocks
groups=true	whether players can make groups

Voice only goes to players who have Squid, and the server never records or saves any of it.

What's inside

File	What it is
squid.jar	Squid, which runs the server
lib/	ASM, the library Squid uses to change Minecraft's code, with its license
builtin/	Squid's server parts, like the voice relay
mods/	Server mods made for Squid go here

For Minecraft 26.3. Minecraft's own server isn't in the zip: Squid downloads it from Mojang.

Squid Kit 0.1 (beta)

NOT AN OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG OR MICROSOFT.

Beta. Squid is still being tested, so things can change before 1.0.

The Squid Kit lets you make Squid mods in a code editor like VS Code or IntelliJ, without Kelp. If you use Kelp, you don't need it: New Mod → Kind: Project gives you a project that's already set up.

What's inside

File	What it is
squid-api.jar	The Squid library: every command a mod can use
squid-api-sources.jar	Its code. Your editor reads what each command does from here
docs/index.html	The same explanations as web pages
ExampleMod/	A working project to start from
README.txt	How to set it up

A Squid project

MyMod/
  squid.json     {"name": "My Mod"}
  src/           your code, as many files as you like
  resources/     pictures and sounds

Put the folder in a Squid instance's mods folder and play. Squid builds it as the game starts, with no build tool. In Kelp, Pack turns it into one small .squid file for sharing.

For Minecraft 26.3.
