Step 1: Allocate a New Port
Unlike the main game port, voice chat requires its own dedicated port to function correctly.
Log in to the Control Panel.
Navigate to your server.
Click on the Network tab in the sidebar.
Click the Create Allocation button.
You will see a new IP:Port combination appear. Note down the 4-5 digit port number (the numbers after the colon).
Step 2: Configure Simple Voice Chat
Now you need to tell the voice chat mod to use this new port.
Go to the Files tab.
Navigate to the configuration folder. This is usually located at:
config/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties
Open the file to edit it.
Find the line that says
port=24454(or similar).Change the port number to the new port you allocated in Step 1.
Save the file.
Step 3: Restart and Connect
Restart your server to apply the changes.
Ensure you have the Simple Voice Chat mod installed on your client.
Connect to your server.
Press the voice chat key (default
V) to open the settings and verify it's connected.
Note: You do not need to change the IP address in the config, only the port. Leave the bind address as is (usually empty or 0.0.0.0).
