Simple Voice Chat is a popular mod/plugin for Minecraft that enables in-game voice communication among players. It supports both push-to-talk and voice activation modes and allows for proximity-based voice chat, meaning players can only hear others who are close by in the game world. Key points for using Simple Voice Chat in Minecraft:
- It must be installed on both the server and the client for the voice chat to work.
- The default key for Push-to-Talk is usually Caps Lock but can be changed (typically configured via "V" key to open settings).
- Server configuration requires setting up a secondary network port dedicated to voice chat alongside the default game port.
- Players can customize settings such as microphone threshold, volume, and whether to use push-to-talk or voice activation.
- It supports creating groups that can restrict voice chat to specific player sets, useful for factions or teams.
- The voice chat mod can record voice chats by default but this can be disabled on the server.
- For networks with multiple Minecraft servers, the mod needs to be installed and configured with unique voice chat ports on each server and the proxy to work across servers.
This mod provides a simple and effective way to add voice communication to Minecraft multiplayer experiences, improving player interaction and teamwork.
