How to setup voice chat on your server

Simple Voice Chat allows you to speak to players using a proximity chat in-game, due to the requirements of this mod, the setup process is a little different to how you might expect. In this guide, we will be covering the setup guide for both Forge/Fabric servers and Spigot/Paper servers.

Forge/Fabric Servers

Prerequisites

• Your server must be running either Forge or Fabric
• Your client must be running either Forge or Fabric with the mod installed
• You must have downloaded the mod for the specific version.

**You can download the specific versions using the following links: **

Fabric: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/simple-voice-chat/files/all?filter-status=1&filter-game-version=2020709689:7499

Forge: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/simple-voice-chat/files/all?filter-status=1&filter-game-version=2020709689:7498

Setup

• Head to the File Manager on your panel and enter the folder labelled mods, from there click the upload button and select the mod to complete the upload.

• Once the file has been uploaded, you'll need to head to your back to the console page for your server and click restart to generate the files for the mod.
• After the restart has completed, you will want to head to the configuration folder for the mod so we can configure the mod to use the correct port. For Fabric, the config file is located at config/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties. For Forge, the file is located at world/serverconfig/voicechat-server.toml, please also note for Forge that the specific path may be different if you have changed your world name, in that case replace world with your new world name.
• Next we will need to configure which port the mod needs to use, due to the fact it requires a UDP port and our additional ports are TCP only, this means we will need to use our main server port, see below for finding your main server port:

It is the 5 digits located after the colon next to the IP, for a dedicated IP this is 25565 as this is the default Minecraft port

• Inside the config file, replace the default port which is 24454 with your main server port, using the above scenario we would replace it with 25586.
• Lastly, just save the config file and restart the server on the console page. You can then connect to your server and speak to your players.

Spigot/Paper Servers

Prerequisites

• Your server must be running either Spigot/Paper for this to work.
• Your server must already have the plugin ProtocolLib installed as this is a dependency.

• Your client must be running either Fabric with the mod installed.

• You must have downloaded the plugin here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/bukkit-plugins/simple-voice-chat/files/all
