👥 Party System

PartyLink gives Minecraft a real party system. Players can invite others, join groups, manage members, and keep parties persistent across sessions.

Party Actions

• Invite players to your party.
• Accept party invites with a command or clickable chat button.
• Leave your party through command or UI.
• Kick members if you have permission.
• Disband the party as the owner.
• Keep parties saved across server restarts if enabled.

🖥️ Custom Party HUD

PartyLink includes a fully custom party HUD with a clean, futuristic MMO-inspired style. It is built to feel like a real multiplayer interface instead of a simple command-only system.

The HUD can display:

• Player name
• Player head / skin icon
• Health
• Level
• XP progress
• Missing XP until next level
• Distance to party members
• Role highlights and visual accents

🎨 Personal HUD Customization

Each player can customize their own HUD without changing the HUD of other party members.

• Enable or disable your own HUD.
• Show or hide player heads.
• Choose HUD size: Small, Medium, or Large.
• Choose HUD color: Blue, Green, or Red.
• Move the HUD position using an in-game D-pad.
• Reset the HUD to its default position.

⚡ Shared XP

PartyLink can share experience between party members, making cooperative gameplay more rewarding.

Shared XP Modes

• 📍 Radius - Share XP only with nearby party members.
• 🌎 Current World - Share XP with party members in the same world/dimension.
• 🌀 All Worlds - Share XP with online party members across all dimensions.

The radius can be configured from 10 to 200 blocks, depending on the server configuration.

Shared XP is distributed using real XP orb behavior, meaning Mending can still repair armor, tools, and weapons properly.

📍 Party Ping System

PartyLink includes a lightweight party ping system for better communication during exploration, combat, mining, and dungeon runs.

• Use /party ping to ping the block or location you are looking at.
• Use the configurable keybind PartyLink → Send Party Ping.
• Party members see a small world marker directly on the pinged block.
• The marker can be seen through walls as a client overlay.
• The marker shows the sender name and distance in blocks.
• Client chat stays clean - no ping spam.
• Server owners can enable or disable pings through config.

🛡️ Party PvP Protection

PartyLink can protect party members from damaging each other. This is useful for survival servers, RPG servers, and co-op modpacks where friendly fire should be optional.

• Party PvP can be enabled or disabled per party.
• Server owners can decide whether this feature is available at all.
• If disabled server-side, the setting is hidden from the UI.
