Setting Up Simple Voice Chat

Simple Voice Chat enables proximity voice chat on your Minecraft server – players can talk to each other based on how close they are in-game.

Warning

Simple Voice Chat requires its own UDP port. Do not use your server's default port!

Info

All players who want to use the voice chat must also have the Simple Voice Chat Mod installed.

Step 1: Install the Mod/Plugin

Download Simple Voice Chat for your server version.
- For Fabric/Forge: Download the mod version and place it in the mods folder.
- For Paper/Spigot/Bukkit: Download the plugin version and place it in the plugins folder.
Restart your server so the config files are created.

Open the "Network" section in your dashboard.
- There you will find an overview of all available ports.
Choose an available port and note it down.

Important

Do not use your server's default port! Simple Voice Chat requires a separate UDP port.

Navigate to the Simple Voice Chat config file in the file browser.
- Fabric/Forge: config/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties
- Paper/Spigot/Bukkit: plugins/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties
Open the file and look for the line:
```
port=24454
```
```
port=24454
```
Replace 24454 with your chosen port from Step 2.
```
port=YOUR_PORT
```
```
port=YOUR_PORT
```
Save the changes.

Tip

You can leave the other settings like bind_address or voice_host at their default values – they work for most servers.

Restart your server for the changes to take effect.
Check the server console to verify that Simple Voice Chat started successfully.
- You should see a message like: Voice chat server started on port XXXXX
