How to Set Up Simple Voice Chat on a Minecraft Server (Mod or Plugin)

Voice chat in Minecraft is a great way to enhance player interaction. Simple Voice Chat supports both Forge/NeoForge/Fabric and Spigot/Bukkit/Purpur/Paper, so this guide will help you set it up correctly regardless of your chosen platform.

How to Install and Configure Simple Voice Chat

1. Go to your game hosting control panel and log in.

2. Choose a port for voice chat: on the Network tab, find available ports. Select any free port, except the main one, and do not use an address starting with ultra*.majorcore.host.

3. Install Simple Voice Chat:

   • For Forge / NeoForge / Fabric: download the mod into the mods folder.
   • For Spigot / Bukkit / Purpur / Paper: download the plugin into the plugins folder.

4. Start the server. This is necessary to create the configuration files.

5. Open the configuration file:

   • For Forge / NeoForge / Fabric: the file is located at /config/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties.
   • For Spigot / Bukkit / Purpur / Paper: the file is located at /plugins/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties.

6. Make the following configurations:

   • Find the line port= and specify the port you have chosen. For example: port=32701.
   • Find the line bind_address= and specify: bind_address=0.0.0.0. Important: do not come up with other IPs — use 0.0.0.0 exactly.
   • Find the line voice_host= and specify the IP address and port you chose earlier.

   Example of a complete configuration:

   

7. Save the file and restart the server. After starting and connecting to the server, you should see a message in the console: Player successfully connected to voice chat.

   

Conclusion

Setting up Simple Voice Chat takes just a few minutes but significantly improves the gaming experience. If everything is done correctly, the voice chat will work automatically when players join the server.
