The Friends List screen

The friends list is a social menu Template:In. It allows users to add or remove friends, view their friends' statuses, and invite to or request to join online Minecraft:worlds.

Usage

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).

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: Displays received friend requests (acceptable or rejectable) and sent friend requests (cancellable).

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

Some features must be enabled in the separate Online settings to allow the friends list's full functionality. By default, the "Allow Requests" and "In-game Notification" settings are disabled.

The user's Xbox account settings may also hinder the functionality of the friends list. These can also be accessed and changed from the in-game Online settings menu by selecting Xbox Settings. The friends list can be disabled and enabled as a whole using the "Friends List" setting. When disabled, the Friends button is hidden and the list cannot be opened.

Friends

The player can send a friend request to another player by entering their Template:JE profile name into the search box in the "Friends" tab, which will also send a friend request on the Xbox network.

A list of sent and received friend requests can be found in the "Requests" tab. Sent friend requests can be cancelled at any time. Received friend requests can be accepted or rejected, either in the Requests tab or on the Xbox network.

If the other player has "Allow Requests" disabled, the friend request won't be sent and an error message will be diplayed. The Friends button shows a notification badge with the number of incoming friend requests, up to 5.

Friends added through the Xbox network that own Java Edition will be synchronized in-game, and vice versa.

Friends can be seen in the "Friends" tab, displaying their skin's face, their profile name, and their online status. Players that have their chat settings set to "Friends Only" on their Xbox profile will only see Minecraft:chat messages from players if they are friends.

Friends can be removed from the list in the "Friends" tab with the "Remove friend" button. This will also remove the friend from the Xbox friends list.

Online status

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

Offline
Online (in Java Edition)
In a world
In a joinable world

The way the user's activity appears to their friends can be customized using the "Presence" setting in the Online settings menu, with three states: All, None, and Limited. When set to All, friends will see when the user is online and what they are doing (such as if they are actively playing in a world). When set to None, the user will appear as offline to their friends even when they are online, and their activity will not be shared. When set to Limited, friends will see when the user is online, but will not see what they are doing.

Multiplayer

Receiving invite to friend's world toast

Players that are in-game friends can join each other's online Minecraft:multiplayer worlds. Friends that are online can be invited to join to a world through the "Invite to game" button displayed next to their profile in the "Friends" tab. Friends can accept or deny the invite.

The player can also request to join a friend's online world. The friend can accept or deny the request in the "Friends" tab.
