[SOLVED] alsa+pipewire+bluetooth not working in plasmovoice minecraft

First post here
I just installed arch yesterday, switching from popos. Under pop I used pulseaudio but had issues with bluetooth headphones. Thats why I tried using pipewire now under arch
I followed the wiki and got my bluetooth headphones working in most applications.

Now there is this one mod in minecraft which adds proximity voice chat (plasmo voice) and it only detects wired devices.
Minecraft itself works fine, its just that one mod with its own audio device controls.
The devices it detects are the same ones as listed by aplay -l
My wired mic works fine.

aplay -l output:

bluez_output.2C_41_A1_CB_11_0A.a2dp-sink being my bluetooth headphones

I also tried installing bluealsa, but that only breaks the rest and also doesnt make that plasmovoice work.

pipewire and pipewire-pulse are both installed and running

Please let me know if you need more info, also thanks a lot for your help
