This guide will help you understand what the Simple Voice Chat plugin is and how to install and configure it on your server.
❓ What Is the Simple Voice Chat Plugin ❓
The Simple Voice Chat plugin or mod adds a proximity voice chat to your Minecraft server. You can choose between push-to-talk (PTT) and voice activation.
You can read more about it here, on the official Spigot page, or here, on their official documentation.
⚠ Important Notes ⚠
- Simple Voice Chat Plugin can run only on CraftBukkit, Spigot, or Paper, as it is a plugin. Fabric and Forge versions are available online, with slightly different installation procedures.
- We strongly advise you to use Paper on your server type, as it provides numerous benefits such as preventing lag and other crashes not found on Vanilla, Craftbukkit, or Spigot.
- Versions older than 2.1.0 can only join servers with the Fabric version of the mod!
⚠ NOTE⚠: You need the Fabric or Forge version of the mod installed on your client when using the Bukkit/Spigot/Paper version of Simple Voice Chat on the server!
Here you can download Forge if you don’t have it on your PC yet.
Here you can download the Simple Voice Chat mod.
