Overview
Utilize Echolinks for discreet communication with friends sharing your frequency. The Echolink recipe is shapeless; arranging the ingredients in different sequences creates unique frequencies—so safeguard your recipe!
Local chat is enabled by default, with fully configurable ranges. As you distance yourself from others, their messages will naturally become less clear and harder to decipher.
Everything is fully configurable and toggleable. Check the config.yml for details.

Recipe (configurable)
Amethyst shard, lightning rod, echo shard, nautilus shell, block of copper, emerald, redstone dust, iron bars, redstone torch.
This is a shapeless recipe but the ingredient order determines the Echolink's channel frequency.Only Echolinks with the same frequency can communicate with each other so protect your recipe order!

How It Works
When you send a message while an Echolink is in your hot bar, offhand, or on your head, it will send that message through the Echolink's channel instead. Anyone who also has an Echolink of that same frequency anywhere in their inventory will receive your message.
You can send messages through multiple Echolink channels at the same time, just put them in your hot bar!
