How to Install and Configure VoiceChat

This tutorial will guide you step-by-step to install and configure VoiceChat on your Minecraft server hosted at XeroHost.

Step 1: Access the XeroHost Panel

1. Log in to the XeroHost control panel: https://panel.xerohost.net.
2. Select your Minecraft server.

Step 2: Assign an additional port

For VoiceChat to work correctly, you need a additional port.

1. In the left menu, go to Network.
2. Click on Create Allocation.
3. A new port will be generated automatically.
4. In the Notes column, you can write “VoiceChat” to identify it (optional).

Step 3: Install the VoiceChat Mod/Plugin

VoiceChat is available as a mod for Minecraft Forge/Fabric and as a plugin for Paper/Spigot or Proxy. Make sure to download the correct version for your server.

1. Go to the Files section in the XeroHost panel.
2. Open the mods folder (if your server uses Forge/Fabric) or the plugins folder (if your server uses Paper/Spigot or Proxy).
3. Download the file from the official website:
   • For the Mod (Forge/NeoForge/Fabric/Quilt): https://modrinth.com/plugin/simple-voice-chat/
   • For the Plugin (Paper/Spigot): https://modrinth.com/plugin/simple-voice-chat/
   • For the Proxy (Velocity/BungeeCord): https://modrinth.com/plugin/simple-voice-chat/
4. Upload the .jar file of the mod or plugin to the corresponding folder.

   Important: Make sure the mod/plugin or proxy version is compatible with your Minecraft server version.

Step 4: Configure VoiceChat

1. In Files, open the plugins > voicechat folder.
2. Find the voicechat-server.properties file and edit it.
3. Modify the line port=25565 and replace it with the additional port you generated in Step 2.
   
   
4. Save the changes and restart the server.

Step 5: Connect and Test VoiceChat

1. Players must install the VoiceChat mod on their Minecraft client. They can download it from the same Modrinth or CurseForge link mentioned previously for the mod version.
2. Once on the server, press the V key to open the mod menu.
3. Configure your microphone and adjust the volume.
4. You can now talk with other players in the game in real time!
