Additions

Gameplay

Party systemTemplate:Note

• Players can now create and join "parties", which are groups of people found in the social drawer where all members automatically join any world the leader is in.
• Members don't need to be in the leader's world and can still be in the menus or a different world while in a party.
• Parties can contain up to 15 members.
  • The leader can choose what type of privacy setting the party has: "Invited only" requires the leader to send an invite to in-game friends to join, or "Open" makes the party accessible for any friends.
• The leader can promote other members to leader.
• A new settings tab allows the player to change which invites are shown, whether members can also send invites, and the default party privacy setting.
