Play together with friends
Invite friends to your server. If you lead a party, you can select several friends to give them server access. An invitation does not reserve a free place in the run.
Friends, party, and server access
| Feature | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Friends | Contacts, requests, and invitations. |
| Party | A group in the lobby. |
| Server access | Can join this Personal Server. |
Invite friends to your server
As host, you give individual players access. That does not reserve a player slot. If the run has a limit, active participants still count toward the allowed amount.
Use the exact in-game name. Bedrock names start with a dot, for example .Max1234. Include the dot when you invite them. /invitelist shows who has access. Remove access again when someone is no longer joining.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/invite <name> | Gives a player server access. |
/uninvite <name> | Removes access. |
/invitelist | Shows invited players. |
Use the friends and party menus
Open /friend to send and accept friend requests and manage friends. Open /party, create a party, and invite friends. The party leader chooses members for server access in the server area. A party alone does not give access.
In the Friends menu, open Friend Settings. Choose who can send friend requests, see your online status, and send notifications. In Party Settings, choose who can invite you.
Open Privacy for private messages and blocked players. /block blocks a player: new invitations and direct messages from them stop, while your current run continues.
When a friend cannot join
First check the spelling of the name and whether the host really sent the invitation. The friend should reconnect afterwards. An invitation cannot help when the run is full or its rules do not allow new participants.
