Simple Voice Chat – Configuration Guide
The Simple Voice Chat plugin enables in-game voice communication without relying on external tools like Discord. This guide explains how to correctly configure the plugin on your HypeServ Minecraft server.
Basic configuration
After installing the plugin, you can find its configuration file at:
voice_host = 0.0.0.0
voice_port = -1
| Setting | Recommended value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
voice_host | 0.0.0.0 | Binds Voice Chat to all available network interfaces. |
voice_port | -1 or <your_custom_port> | -1 automatically uses the server’s main port. Easiest for most setups. |
voice_port = -1 is the simplest configuration, as no additional ports are required. Using a custom port as described below is the recommended solution for the most stable setup and higher playercounts.Using a custom port (optional)
If you prefer using a separate port for Simple Voice Chat, you can add an additional port to your server and configure the voicechat plugin to use it.
To do so, simply go to the Ports Tab in your dashboard an click Add new Port to have an additional port assigned to your server.
Once assigned, update the plugin's configuration:
voice_port = <your_new_port>
Subdomain & BungeeCord setups
If your server:
- uses a custom subdomain (e.g.
my.hype.surf) - or runs behind BungeeCord / proxy software
you must set voice_host to the original server IP shown in your server settings.
Example
Your custom server address: my.hype.surf
Your server's original address: zoe.hysrv.eu:12345
Your original server IP is therefore zoe.hysrv.eu without the port or colon!
voice_host = zoe.hysrv.eu
voice_host is set to the proxy or custom subdomain name.
Always use the original server IP.Finishing up
After making changes:
- Save the configuration file
- Restart your server completely
Once the server is back online, you and your players can press V (default key) in-game to start talking.
