How To Add In-Game Voice Chat To My Minecraft Server - Minecraft Guide

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.

Caution

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

Note

Ensure your Minecraft server version is compatible with Simple Voice Chat before beginning. 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 File Manager.
Upload the voicechat.jar file to your mods folder.
Start your server from the Console page.

Configuring Simple Voice Chat

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 File Manager.
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.
