Simple Voice Chat is a proximity voice chat mod that allows players to communicate with each other using their microphones. Players can hear each other based on distance and even whisper or shout. It works on both Fabric and Forge servers and requires the mod to be installed on both server and client side.
- Fabric or Forge modded server
- Compatible Minecraft version
- Server-side Simple Voice Chat mod
- Fabric or Forge client
- Client-side Simple Voice Chat mod
- Working microphone
First, download the correct version of Simple Voice Chat for your server:
Important: Download the version that matches your server's Minecraft version and mod loader (Fabric or Forge).
- Stop your server completely
- Go to the "Files" tab in your Tick Hosting dashboard
- Navigate to the
/mods/ folder
- Upload the Simple Voice Chat
.jar file you downloaded
- Start your server to generate the config files
You can upload the mod file using either:
- File Manager: Drag and drop in the dashboard
- SFTP: Upload via FileZilla or similar client
You need to find your server's port to configure Simple Voice Chat correctly:
- Go to the "Console" tab in your dashboard
- Look for the server startup messages
- Find a line that shows your server address, like:
Server started on node-de-free-01.tickhosting.com:58016
In this example, the port number is 58016
Tip: Your server address format will be similar to node-XX-free-XX.tickhosting.com:XXXXX where the numbers after the colon (:) are your port.
Now you need to configure the voice chat port settings:
- Stop your server if it's running
- Go to Files →
config → voicechat
- Open the file
voicechat-server.properties
- Find the line that starts with
port=
- Change it to your server's port number
- Save the file and restart your server
If your server address is node-de-free-01.tickhosting.com:58016, your config should look like:
# Simple Voice Chat Server Config
port=58016
# Other settings...
