FAQ

Do I need the mod to play on RedShine?

No! The voice chat mod is completely optional. You can play normally without it — you just won't hear or use voice chat.

Fabric or Forge — which should I use?

Fabric is recommended for most players. It's lighter, faster, and easier to set up. Use Forge only if you already have a Forge modpack.

Where is my mods folder?

Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\mods
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods

Can I use it with other mods?

Yes! Simple Voice Chat is compatible with most other Fabric/Forge mods including OptiFine, Sodium, Iris, shaders, etc.

How far can people hear me?

Normal voice reaches 48 blocks. Whispering reaches 24 blocks. The volume fades smoothly based on distance.

Voice chat isn't connecting?

Make sure your firewall isn't blocking UDP port 24454. If you're behind a strict network (school, work), voice chat may not work.

Are these files always up to date?

Yes! Our server automatically checks for new versions every 6 hours and updates the downloads instantly.
