# How to Set Up Voice Chat on a Forge, Fabric, or Spigot Minecraft Server

Guide on setting up voice chat

### Summary

Adding voice chat to your Minecraft server (Forge, Fabric, or Spigot/PaperMC) lets players communicate in real time, making collaboration easier and gameplay more immersive. Voice chat improves teamwork, strategy, and social interaction, while also creating a stronger sense of community among players.

### Requirements

-   Modpacks come with voice chat disabled by default. To enable it, rename the voice chat .jar file and remove the .disabled at the end.
    
-   Players must also install the voice chat mod on their Minecraft client.
    
-   For Spigot/PaperMC servers, players still need to run the Forge/Fabric/Quilt client version for compatibility.
