Here's how to add voice chat functionality to your Minecraft server using the Simple Voice Chat mod. This tutorial covers both installation and configuration steps.
Important Requirements: You must install Simple Voice Chat on both your server and your local Minecraft client for it to work properly. For client installation, we recommend using launchers like CurseForge or Prism Launcher. Complete client installation instructions are available in the official documentation.
Installing Simple Voice Chat on Your Server
Prerequisites: Ensure your Minecraft server version is compatible with Simple Voice Chat before beginning. Complete installation details can be found at: https://modrepo.de/minecraft/voicechat/wiki/server_setup
This example uses Simple Voice Chat 1.21.8 Fabric.
- Download the appropriate Simple Voice Chat version for your server
- Open the Ghostcap Panel and stop your Minecraft server
- Navigate to the Files section
- Upload the
voicechat.jarfile to your mods folder (The file loading below in the image was dragged from the downloads folder directly into the file manager you see in the photo) - Start your server (This is back on the console screen)
Configuring Simple Voice Chat
Once installed, you'll need to configure the mod with these steps:
Port Configuration Note: Simple Voice Chat needs a dedicated port to function. A port appears as the number after the colon in your server IP (for example, in 111.123.456.60:27036, the port is 27036). Check Management > Allocations to see your available ports. Avoid using your primary server port for voice chat.
- Stop your server through the Ghostcap panel
- Go to Files
- Open
/config/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties - Change
port=to an available non-primary port from Management > Allocations - Save the file and start your server
Once connected to your server, press V to access the in-game voice chat configuration menu.
