Plasmo Voice

Plasmo Voice is a powerful proximity voice chat plugin that adds immersive audio positioning to your Minecraft server. It enhances social interaction by allowing players to communicate based on their in-game location, making it an essential tool for adventure and roleplay servers.

It supports a wide range of loaders including Paper, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Velocity.

Installing Plasmo Voice

On AwakeNode

1. Download the version of Plasmo Voice for your server's software and Minecraft version from its Modrinth page.
2. Open your server's Files tab, go to the plugins 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 latest version of Plasmo Voice from Modrinth.
2. Connect to your server via SFTP.
3. Upload the downloaded .jar file to your server's plugins folder (or mods folder if using Fabric/Forge).
4. Restart your server to generate the configuration files.

Common issues

• Voice not working: Ensure that the server port is correctly configured in the plasmo-voice config file and that the port is open in your firewall.
• Version Mismatch: Verify that your server version is between 1.16.4 and 1.19.4. Using an unsupported version will prevent the plugin from loading.
• Client-side issues: Remind players that they must also have the Plasmo Voice mod installed on their own Minecraft client to hear proximity audio.

Performance

Plasmo Voice is generally lightweight, but proximity voice chat can increase network bandwidth usage. If you notice server lag during high-player counts, ensure your server plan has sufficient RAM. To add your own JVM flags, set a custom startup command in your server's tab. For other hosts, you may need to adjust your Java startup flags manually to allocate more resources.
