How to set up Simple Voice Chat

This guide explains how to install Simple Voice Chat on a modded Java server or a supported plugin-based server.

Requirements

  • A server compatible with Simple Voice Chat.
  • The Simple Voice Chat mod or plugin that matches your server platform.
  • An available UDP port for voice chat.

Basic installation

  1. Download Simple Voice Chat from an official source.
  2. Upload the file to the right location for your server platform:
  3. modded server: the mods folder
  4. Bukkit/Paper plugin: the plugins folder
  5. Restart the server so the config files are generated automatically.

Where the config files live

According to the official documentation:

  • Forge/Fabric/NeoForge/Quilt: config/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties
  • Bukkit/Spigot/Paper: plugins/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties

Set the voice chat port

The default voice chat port is 24454 UDP.

Example configuration:

port=24454

Do not clash with other ports

The Simple Voice Chat documentation recommends not using the same UDP port as other services. Avoid clashes with Geyser, Query, or any other UDP service.

Basic usage

Players must also install Simple Voice Chat on the client if the platform they use requires it.

Officially documented important commands:

  • /voicechat help
  • /voicechat test <PLAYERNAME>

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure the UDP port is open according to your server's allocation.
  • Make sure voice chat is installed on the right side: the server, and, if needed, the client.
  • If it does not work, check the voicechat-server.properties file and the server console.
