## Set up

Install the official modpack [Sirargons Mod-Mische](https://modrinth.com/modpack/sirargons-mod-mische). Simple Voice Chat is included. Use a [supported Minecraft version](/getting-started/connect).

Without the voice mod you play as usual.

## Proximity

You hear players near you: the closer, the louder.

## Groups

Create a group with your friends in the voice chat's group menu. The group stays when you switch servers.

## Where it works

Voice chat works in the lobby, the SMP and Creative. There is no voice chat while watching replays.

## Checklist

- [ ] Official modpack set up
- [ ] Connected with a supported version
- [ ] Microphone and speakers checked in the voice settings

The [rules](/reference/rules) apply in voice chat too.
