Simple Voice Chat needs three things: the right build for your server's loader, a port opened for it, and the same mod on every player's own game. Miss one and it installs but stays silent.
How to set it up
- Check Server Type. Paper uses a plugin build, Forge or Fabric use a mod build.
- Install it:
- Paper: use Plugin Installer, pick the build matching your Minecraft version.
- Forge/Fabric: use Mods Installer, pick the build matching your loader and version.
- Open Additional Ports and allocate a port for voice chat.
- Open Files, find the voice chat config file, and set its port to match what you just allocated.
- Restart the server.
- Install the same build on your own game, connect, and test.
- Have everyone else install it too, voice chat won't work for anyone who skips this.
Match the build to your exact loader and Minecraft version. A mismatch is the number one reason this "installs" but does nothing.
Still stuck?
Mod won't load at all: check Console for a dependency or version error, see Fix "Missing Dependency" and Mod Conflict Errors.
Everything matches and it still doesn't connect: open a support ticket with your server ID from the Dashboard so staff can check the port allocation directly.
