How to Add Voice Chat to Your Minecraft Server

Simple Voice Chat adds proximity-based voice communication to Minecraft — players can talk to nearby players in-game without needing Discord or other external apps. This guide covers how to install and configure it on your server.

📝 Note: Simple Voice Chat must be installed on both your server and each player's local Minecraft client. Players without the mod can still play but won't hear or use voice chat.

Prerequisites

• Your server must be running a compatible mod loader (Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge)
• Download the correct version of Simple Voice Chat for your server's mod loader and Minecraft version
• Install Simple Voice Chat on your local client using a launcher like CurseForge or Prism Launcher — see the official client installation guide

Installing Simple Voice Chat on Your Server

Configuring the Voice Chat Port

Simple Voice Chat requires a dedicated port to handle voice traffic. You'll need to assign one of your available ports.

💡 Tip: Your available ports are listed in Network on the XGamingServer panel. Don't use your primary server port for voice chat.

Using Voice Chat In-Game

After connecting to your server with Simple Voice Chat installed on your client, press V to open the voice chat settings. From there you can adjust your microphone, speaker volume, and voice activation settings.
