Installing Simple Voice Chat
How to install Simple Voice Chat on your Minecraft server.
Simple Voice Chat is a proximity voice chat plugin for Minecraft. Players can choose between push-to-talk (default key CAPS LOCK) or voice activation, and can access voice chat settings in-game with the V key.
Install the plugin
Download Simple Voice Chat
Go to the Simple Voice Chat download page and download the latest version that supports your server's Minecraft version.
Upload to your service
Using either the panel file manager or SFTP, upload the downloaded voicechat-*.jar file into your plugins folder.
Restart your server
Go back to the console tab and restart your server to load the plugin.
Give voice chat its own port
Simple Voice Chat needs its own allocation to handle voice traffic separately from the game.
Create a new allocation
Stop your server, then navigate to the "Network" tab and create a new allocation. Note down the port shown, see our guide on managing allocations if you need more detail.
Edit the plugin's configuration
Using SFTP or the file manager, open plugins/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties and change:
port=24454→port=<the port from the previous step>
Start your server
Voice chat will now be available once your server has fully started.
