How to setup Proximity Voice Chat Mod for noobs

Using the CurseForge Mod Manager

Note: At some point CurseForge will ask for access to your microphone. Make sure you allow access.

1. Download the Standalone installer for CurseForge (Not the Overwolf version) here
2. Run the CurseForge Installer from step 1
3. Now that you have installed CurseForge, find the app and open it
4. You may have to login or create a CurseForge account
5. Once in the app, navigate to the Home tab
6. Select Minecraft
7. Click on the 3 dots in the top right, next to your account name, and Click "Open game settings"
8. Scroll down to find "Allocated Memory", then set the value to ideally 8000MB to 10000MB. I wouldn't set this to more then 75% of your computer's RAM, Minecraft doesn't see any preformance boost past 10000MB.
9. Click the "x" at the top right to exit the settings menu
10. Click the "+ Create" button under "My Modpacks"
11. Name the profile "Voice Chat" or whatever you'd prefer
12. Set Minecraft version to 1.21.10
13. Set the Modloader to Fabric
14. Click Create
15. Now you should be viewing the profile and see"This modpack has no content". Click the "+ Add More Content" button that is below "Play" or "Cancel"
16. In the search bar, search for "voice chat"
17. Install the Simple Voice Chat mod by henkelmax by using the orange "Install" button
18. Recommended Optional Installs:
    • An Quality of Life Mod: Just Enough Items (JEI) by mezz
    • An Optimizer: Sodium by JellySquid
    • A Shaders Mod: Iris Shaders by coderbot (This only enables the use of shaders, but doesn't intall any shader)
    • A Shader Pack: Complementary Shaders - Reimagined (To find this, change the drop down menu below "1.21.10" from Mods to Shaders)
19. Hit the x at the top of the search page, in a circle
20. Click Play and Enjoy
21. Once inside of a world, press "v" to open the voice chat menu and set your preferences
