SocketSVC DocsControls
Default client key bindings and /ssvc commands
Default key bindings
Bindings live under the "SocketSVC Voice" category in Minecraft's Controls settings and can be changed there.
| Binding name | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Open voice settings | V | Open SocketSVC settings; also works on the title screen, before joining a world or server |
| Push to talk | B | In Push to talk mode, hold to talk and release to stop |
| Toggle microphone mute | M | Toggle microphone mute; the mic cannot be turned on while incoming voice is off |
| Toggle incoming voice | N | Toggle deafen; turning incoming voice off also mutes the mic, and turning it back on restores the previous mute state |
| Toggle speaking indicator | H | Toggle the bottom-left HUD status icon (same as the "Speaking indicator" setting) |
| Open soundboard | U | Open the soundboard |
| Open voice groups | G | Open the voice groups menu; it also explains itself on a server that has groups switched off |
| Soundboard quick pick (hold + scroll) | Unbound | Hold to open the quick-pick overlay; releasing plays the highlighted clip |
| Soundboard slot 1–10 | Unbound | Play the clip assigned to that slot |
- Apart from V on the title screen, these keys only act while no other screen is open.
- These keys do nothing on a server where Simple Voice Chat or Plasmo Voice is connected and SocketSVC isn't running, so the other mod gets them. See Running alongside another voice chat mod.
- Existing key bindings are kept; to pick up new default keys after an upgrade, change or reset them manually.
- Mute and deafen states are saved and do not reset when you restart the game.
- On Fabric with Mod Menu installed, settings can also be opened from Mod Menu.

/ssvc status
Prints the following:
SocketSVC status:
Connection: Connected
Muted: Off, Deafened: Off
Mic RMS level: 120 (threshold 300)
Frames sent this session: 1532
Input device: System default
Output device: System defaultThe threshold is the voice detection threshold currently in effect (fixed at 300 in Automatic mode).
/ssvc reconnect
Voice normally reconnects automatically after a drop, so this command is rarely needed. Use it when automatic retries have stopped:
- Requires an updated server that supports token re-requests.
- Limited to one request every 5 seconds, matching the server's protection. On success it replies "Requested a new voice token. Please wait; requests are limited to once every 5 seconds."
- If a request can't be made right now it replies "Cannot connect right now. Please try again later."
Microphone volume
Adjust "Microphone volume" (0–200%, default 100%) on the General settings tab. Changes apply immediately and are saved when settings close:
- 0% sends silence; above 100% amplifies with limiting.
- Applies in both automatic and manual gain modes and does not change the voice activation threshold.
- The microphone test level on the Advanced tab still shows the input before this volume adjustment.
- This only requires an updated client.
See Settings for everything else.
