___________________________________________________________

In order to get voice chat working, you'll need to have:

The latest version of Simple Voice Chat installed on your version of Minecraft

A mod or plugin loader setup on your server

- The latest version of Simple Voice Chat installed on your version of Minecraft
- A mod or plugin loader setup on your server

If you're currently using vanilla Minecraft, you can switch to a compatible platform by going into Options -&gt; Platform on <a href="https://modrinth.com/servers/manage" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the server panel</a>. If you're unsure which platform to use, Fabric is a good choice, and won't change vanilla Minecraft by default.

Installing Simple Voice Chat onto your server

⚠️ ​Ensure your server is offline and keep it offline for the duration of this guide.

For Simple Voice Chat to connect, you'll need to create a new allocation:

On your server's dashboard, navigate to Options -&gt; Network, and scroll down to Allocations

Click 'New allocation' and name it whatever you'd like, then click 'Create allocation' ​

We now need to configure Simple Voice Chat to use the new allocation we just created:

Start then stop your server to generate the configuration

Navigate to the Files tab, then to the 'plugins' folder if you're using Paper or Purpur, or to the 'mods' folder if you're using Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge, or Forge

Click into the voicechat folder, then click the <code>voicechat-server.properties</code> file to open the configuration

Find the line, close to the top of the file, that starts with <code>port=</code> ​ Replace the number that follows with the port number of the allocation you previously created. In my case, the new allocation's port number was 26010, meaning the edited line would be <code>port=26010</code>

Save the configuration by clicking the Save icon, then selecting Save

1. Start then stop your server to generate the configuration
2. Navigate to the Files tab, then to the 'plugins' folder if you're using Paper or Purpur, or to the 'mods' folder if you're using Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge, or Forge
3. Click into the voicechat folder, then click the <code>voicechat-server.properties</code> file to open the configuration
4. Find the line, close to the top of the file, that starts with <code>port=</code> ​ Replace the number that follows with the port number of the allocation you previously created. In my case, the new allocation's port number was 26010, meaning the edited line would be <code>port=26010</code>
5. Save the configuration by clicking the Save icon, then selecting Save

Navigate to the Overview tab, then start the server

Once it's finished starting, you should see a line at the bottom of the console saying something similar to <code>Voice chat server started at port 26010</code>:

As long as the line contains your previously created allocation's port number, Simple Voice Chat is installed and configured correctly! Join the server and you should see it working. 😄 ​ If the port number is incorrect, stop your server and retry the 'Configuring Simple Voice Chat' section of this guide.
