Set up Voicechat in Minecraft

This guide will walk you through the installation and configuration of Plasmo or Simple Voice Chat, the proximity voice chat plugin for Minecraft servers. This is a two-step process.

Installing Plasmo Voice server

Login to the panel. See Access the Panel for instructions.
Click the 1 Plugins tab in the navigation bar on the left-hand side.
2 Select SpigotMC (You can use Modrinth as well) under the provider drop-down.
3 Search for plasmo in the plugin search field.
Click the 4 Install button next to the Plasmo Voice Server.

Restart the Server

Restart your server to enable the Plasmo Voice plugin.
During the restart, a Plasmo Voice configuration file will be generated in the following path plugins/PlasmoVoice/config.yml.

Create the port allocation

1 Navigate to the ports section by clicking the Network tab.
2 Click the Create Allocation button.
3 Click the Voting/VoiceChat port checkbox. This is to ensure you’re given the unfiltered port, as the anti-DDoS can prevent connections.
4 Click the Create button.

Congratulations, you have now created a new port allocation. Make sure to note down the new port number, and please note that the new port isn’t usable until you restart your server. We’re going to do this in the next step, though, so keep that in mind.

Configure Plasmo Voice

Navigate to the plugins/PlasmoVoice/ directory and find the config.yml file.

This file contains the configuration settings for the Plasmo Voice plugin.

Then click on the config.toml file to open the editor.
1 Look for the port setting in the config.yml file and edit it to use the port you allocated earlier.
When you’ve done that, it should look something like this:

[host]
ip = "0.0.0.0"
port = 12003 # Edit this value to the port newly allocated

Click the 2 Save Content button to save the changes.

Once the file has been saved, you need to restart the server. This ensures the new port is accessible to the plugin and the configuration is updated. You can verify if the change worked by what the console says. Once the server is started up, you can join it to see if it works.

Installing Simple Voice Chat

Login to the panel. See Access the Panel for instructions.
Click the 1 Plugins tab in the navigation bar on the left-hand side.
2 Select SpigotMC (You can use Modrinth as well) under the provider drop-down.
3 Search for Simple Voice Chat in the plugin search field.
Click the 4 Install button next to the Simple Voice Chat.

Restart the Server

Restart your server to install the plugin’s configuration.
During the restart, a Simple Voice chat’s configuration file will be generated in the following path plugins/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties .

Create the port allocation

1 Navigate to the ports section by clicking the Network tab.
2 Click the Create Allocation button.
3 Click the Voting/VoiceChat port checkbox. This is to ensure you’re given the unfiltered port, as the anti-DDoS can prevent connections.
4 Click the Create button.

Congratulations, you have now created a new port allocation. Please note the new port isn’t usable until you restart your server. We’re going to do this in the next step, though, so keep that in mind.

Configure Simple Voice Chat

1 Navigate to the plugins/voicechat/ directory and find the voicechat-server.properties file.

This file contains the configuration settings for the Simple Voice chat plugin.

2 Look for the port option which should be near the top.
When you’ve done that, it should look something like this:

If the port doesn’t start with 12 Please double-check if you’re using the correct port.
bind_address does not need to be modified.

port=12003
# The server IP address to bind the voice chat to
# Leave blank to use the 'server-ip' property from the 'server.properties' config file
# To bind to the wildcard IP address, use '*'
bind_address=

Click the 3 Save Content button to save the changes.
Restart your server.
Once the server starts and you can see it using the new port in the console, you can join and verify if it works.
