The friends list is a menu Template:In. It allows users to view their friends' statuses.

Usage

Prompt when first interacting with the feature

The friends list can be accessed via the "Friends" button on the main menu or pause menu, or by using a keyboard shortcut (default Template:Key). When the Friends button is interacted with for the first time, a confirmation dialog box will appear asking the player whether they agree to use the friends list.

The friends list is presented as an overlay, containing two tabs:

Friends: Displays currently added friends. Friends can be removed here or friend requests can be sent by entering the player's profile name.
Requests (Quantity): Displays received friend requests (acceptable or rejectable) and sent friend requests (cancellable).

Sending, accepting, rejecting, canceling, and removing will all display the results in the friends list interface. If the service is unavailable, a rate limit is triggered, or the entered file name does not exist, the game will display the corresponding error message.

Friends added through Xbox that own Template:JE will also appear on the friends list.

"Friends" tab

At the top of the friends tab is a search box, which can be used to enter the profile name of another player. Next to the search box is a "Send friend request" button with an envelope icon, which is used to send a friend request to the player who's profile name is entered in the search box. If nothing is entered in the search box, the send friend request button instead displays a tooltip reading "Enter a valid profile name before sending a friend request".

Below the search box is a field displaying "My profile name:" and the profile name of the player.

Below that is a list of the player's friends, displaying their player skin's face, their profile name, and their online status. To the right of each listed friend is a "Remove friend" button.

Online status

A friend's online status will be displayed under their name, with there being four possible online statuses:

Offline
Online
In a world
In a joinable world

"Requests" tab

Notifications

Changes in the friends list while the game is open will be notified via a pop-up window:

Friend request sent
Friend request received
Another player accepted the friend request sent by the player

The pop-up notification will also display the face of the other player's skin if it is available.

Updating

The friends list updates every minute while it is open; otherwise it updates every five minutes.

Multiplayer

If a Minecraft:world is set to online, friends can be invited to join. Friends can accept or deny the invate.

The player can also request joining a friends' online worlds. They can accept or deny the request.

When the player recieces an invite, or when an invite is accepted, they will be notified via a Minecraft:toast notification.
