# \ud83c\udfa4 HELPVOICE \u2014 Automatic Voice Chat Configuration<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udccb OVERVIEW<\/p>\n
HelpVoice is a lightweight and intelligent companion plugin designed specifically for **Simple Voice Chat**, completely automating the complex and often frustrating process of port configuration for your Minecraft server. Instead of manually editing configuration files, guessing which ports are available, or dealing with cryptic errors when the default port is already occupied, HelpVoice handles everything automatically in the background.<\/p>\n

## \u2728 KEY FEATURES<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udd0c ZERO-CONFIGURATION SETUP<\/p>\n
Simply install this plugin alongside Simple Voice Chat, restart your server, and HelpVoice will immediately begin scanning for an available port, starting with the default 24454, then checking through a customizable list of alternative ports, and finally probing random ports within the 24000 to 26000 range if necessary, with a configurable maximum number of attempts to ensure it finds a working port without endless looping.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udcbe SAFE CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT<\/p>\n
Once a free port is successfully discovered, HelpVoice intelligently reads your existing `voicechat.yml` file, or creates a new one with sensible defaults if it doesn’t exist, then sets the port value correctly, ensures other essential fields like host and max_voice_distance are properly configured, and saves the file with perfect YAML formatting, while also creating a timestamped backup of your original configuration to prevent any accidental data loss.<\/p>\n
### \ud83c\udf10 BILINGUAL INTERFACE<\/p>\n
After configuration, admins receive clear confirmation messages about which port was selected, and the plugin includes a fully bilingual interface with both **English and Russian translations** for all messages, errors, status updates, and commands, making it accessible to a wide range of server administrators worldwide.<\/p>\n
