Installing Simple Voice Chat

On AwakeNode

  1. Download the version of Simple Voice Chat for your server's software and Minecraft version from its Modrinth page.
  2. Open your server's Files tab, go to the mods folder and upload the .jar file. You can also upload it over SFTP.
  3. Restart your server from the Console tab.

On other hosts / manually

  1. Download the correct version of Simple Voice Chat for your server loader and Minecraft version from Modrinth.
  2. Use the File Manager or an SFTP client to upload the file to your server's plugins or mods folder.
  3. Restart your server to generate the configuration files.

Common issues

  • Voice chat not working: Ensure the port specified in the voicechat-server.properties file is open and correctly forwarded in your network settings.
  • Connection errors: Verify that the server IP and port in the mod configuration match your actual server address.
  • Version mismatch: Confirm that the mod version installed matches your server's specific Minecraft version exactly.

Performance

Simple Voice Chat is generally lightweight, but high player counts can increase CPU usage due to audio processing. If you experience lag, ensure your server has sufficient RAM allocated for your player base. If you need to adjust memory limits or require specific startup flag optimizations, please contact AwakeNode support for assistance. For other hosts, ensure your -Xmx startup argument is set appropriately for your server's size.
