When other players talk in the voice chat, you see a little speaker icon next to their name.
When you are talking (Either PTT or voice activation), you see a little microphone icon in the bottom left corner of your screen.
If a player deactivated their voice chat, you see a striked out icon next to their name.
You are seeing the same icon in the bottom left corner of your screen if you deactivate the voice chat yourself.
If you mute your microphone (Voice activation only), you will also see an indicator icon on your screen.
If you or another player loses the connection to the voice chat they will have an icon indicating that. You will also see this icon if a player does not have this mod installed.

The GUI
You can open the voice chat GUI by pressing the V key. This allows you to open the settings, group chats, mute yourself, disable the voice chat and hide all icons.
Group Chats
Group chats allow you to talk to players that are not in your vicinity. To open the group chat interface, either press the group button in the voice chat GUI or just press the G key.
To create a new group, just type a name in the text field and press the button next to it.
To join an already existing group, click the group in the list below the text field.
Creating or joining a group will bring you into the group chat interface. You will also see the heads of the group members in the top left corner of your screen. Talking players will be outlined. You can disable these icons by pressing the third button from the left.
Players that are not in a group will see a group icon next to your head, indicating that they can't talk to you.
You can invite players to your group chat by entering the command /voicechat invite <playername>.
Settings
You can access the voice chat GUI by pressing the V key and pressing the settings button.
This menu offers the ability to change the general voice chat volume and your microphone amplification. In addition, there is the possibility to specify the recording and playback device.
By clicking the 'Enable microphone testing' button, you can hear your own voice and adjust the activation level of the voice activation.
By pressing the 'Adjust player volumes' in the voice chat settings, you can adjust the individual volumes of each player.
Important Notes
You need to open a port on the server. This is port 24454 UDP by default. Without opening this port, the voice chat will not work. This port can be changed in the server config. More information here.
The voice chat is encrypted, but I don't guarantee the security of it.
Use at your own risk!
I have a bukkit server on 1.18.1 and this plugin doesn't seem to work any reason why?

Hey there, Mihec! I figured out how to solve this issue. In order to fix your issue, you must "open a new port". Utilize the following steps:
Go to the "Network Management/Settings" tab of your server console, or whatever the equivalent to that tab is for your server hosting area. Then, "Create Allocation/Add New Port". This allocation will have the same Ip address as your server, except it will have a different port. (Don't make this allocation your primary.)
Now, copy the new port (the five numbers) that your new allocation generated. Now go back to your file manager and open the "plugins" folder. Open the "voicechat" folder that should be inside your plugins folder. If the "voicechat" folder is not there, then reload your server with the voicechat plugin and the folder should then generate. Inside this folder, you should see the document "voicechat-server.properties" - open this document and change the number after "port=" from its current number to the number you copied.
E.g. port=24454 changed to port=25596
When on my server we get the icon that we don't have connection, My server is Paper 1.17.1, I've got this plugin installed and we have the voice chat downloaded on our clients
Any reasoning as to why it won't work?

Hello there, Kyle. I just figured out how to solve this issue if you already have the latest version of the mod downloaded to your client and your server and it's still not working. Use the following steps:
Go to the "Network Management/Settings" tab of your server console, or whatever the equivalent to that tab is for your server hosting area. Then, "Create Allocation/Add New Port". This allocation will have the same Ip address as your server, except it will have a different port. (Don't make this allocation your primary.)
Now, copy the new port (the five numbers) that your new allocation generated. Now go back to your file manager and open the "plugins" folder.

Inside this folder, you should see the document "voicechat-server.properties" - open this document and change the number after "port=" from its current number to the number you copied.
E.g. port=24454 changed to port=25596
I've tried the plugin and I'm pretty impressed, but I wish it would work with Forge too. This project seems to be very young so I hope that you will stay motivated and keep developing the plugin.nice bro
