How to Setup Simple Voice Chat on Your Minecraft Server

Simple Voice Chat is a Minecraft mod that allows voice chatting in-game without the use of external software. One feature of the mod is proximity chat, which allows you to hear the voice of nearby players and be able to tell the direction that the sound is coming from. The mod is available for both Forge and Fabric.

Important: you will need to install the mod on your client before joining the server. Please refer to our Forge or Fabric guides on how to install mods on your computer.
