Configure Simple Voice Chat

Navigate to the Simple Voice Chat server configuration file:

./config/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties

Modify the following values:

Replace IP_ADDRESS:PORT with the IP address and port provided by playit.

Dedicated IP users may choose to use the default port 24454

Save the file.

Start the Server

Start the Minecraft server again to apply the changes.

If configured correctly, Simple Voice Chat will now bind to the tunnel.
