Mojang has added a Friends List feature to Minecraft Java Edition. The update aims to simplify multiplayer by letting players add and manage friends directly in the game. The feature arrives 15 years after the game's initial release.
Friends List simplifies multiplayer
The Friends List makes it easier to connect with other players. Users can now send and accept friend requests without leaving the game. The update removes the need for external tools or server IP sharing for basic multiplayer sessions.
The change addresses a long-standing community request. Minecraft Java Edition previously lacked a built-in social system, forcing players to rely on third-party services. The new feature brings the Java Edition closer to the Bedrock Edition's social functionality.
Mojang has not confirmed the exact release date for the update. The feature was first spotted by users on Reddit. More details about the rollout are expected in the coming weeks.
