How to setup Voicechat in Minecraft

Level: Intermediate

This guide will walk you through installing and configuring Plasmo, the proximity voice chat plugin for Minecraft servers. This is a two-step process.

Setting up Plasmo voice server

Step 1: Install the Plasmo Voice plugin on your server

  • There are two ways to install a plugin. The first one is to visit the official Plasmo Voice page on SpigotMC to download the latest version of the Plasmo Voice plugin. When you have the jar file, go to the File Manager tab, then to the Plugins folder, press upload, and select the plugin you just downloaded.
  • The second way to install the plugin is to go to the Plugins tab and search for the plugin called Plasmo Voice Server and press the install button.

Step 2: Restart your Minecraft server

  • Restart your server to enable the Plasmo Voice plugin. During the restart, the server will generate the config.yml file for Plasmo Voice in the plugins/PlasmoVoice/ directory.

Step 3: Locate and open the config.yml file

  • Navigate to the plugins/PlasmoVoice/ directory and find the config.yml file. This file contains the configuration settings for the Plasmo Voice plugin.
  • Then click on the config.yml file; this will open in the text editor.

Step 4: Locate the Port setting

  • Look for the port setting in the config.yml file. Since the plugin uses UDP and not TCP, we can use the same port our server runs on.
  • when you've done that, it should look something like this:
[host]
ip = "0.0.0.0" 
port = <your port here>

Now that you're done with the server side let's install it on the client side as well since it won't work correctly if you ignore the client side. This is because Plasmo must also be installed on the client side to send voice data back and forth.

Installing Plasmo on the client side

Step 1: Check your Minecraft version

  • Make sure you're running a compatible version of Minecraft. Plasmo Voice mod typically supports recent Minecraft versions, but it's best to check the official Plasmo Voice mod page.

Step 2: Download the Plasmo Voice client mod

  • Visit the official Plasmo Voice mod page on CurseForge and download the latest version.

Step 3: Install Minecraft Forge or Fabric

  • Depending on the mod's version, the Plasmo Voice mod requires Minecraft Forge or Fabric to run. Download and install the appropriate mod loader for your version of Minecraft.
  • If you're using fabric, you need the Fabric API jar file. The Fabric API is a utility software Fabric mods use to interact with Minecraft; if you don't install it, your mod will not load. However, you can get away with just downloading the mod on Forge.

Step 4: Install the Plasmo Voice client mod

  • Once you have installed Forge or Fabric, navigate to your Minecraft mods folder (%appdata%\.minecraft\mods on Windows). Copy the downloaded Plasmo Voice mod .jar file into this directory.

Step 5: Launch Minecraft

  • Start Minecraft using the Forge or Fabric profile from your Minecraft launcher. The Plasmo Voice mod should load along with the game.

Step 6: Verify Plasmo Voice mod installation

  • You can verify the installation by entering your server and pressing the V key. If a pop-up menu comes up, you have done everything correctly.
