Adventuring through the world of Minecraft is even better with some company. Parties | RPG+ was created to make it easier to form groups, organize your team, keep track of your companions, and face the dangers of the world together.
Whether you're exploring a cave, fighting monsters, or simply traveling with friends, the idea is to make playing together more practical, organized, and enjoyable without changing the essence of Minecraft.
Parties is a mod that lets you create and manage groups of players in Minecraft through a quick, visual, and straightforward system.
With it, you can invite friends, form teams, keep track of your party members, and use friendly fire protection to prevent accidents during combat, especially when pets are involved!
The system was designed to work independently, without requiring classes, races, or any other RPG+ mods. It also isn't meant to replace guilds or other permanent organizations. Its purpose is simply to give players an easy way to get together for their adventures.
Open the RPG+ Central with K (configurable) to find players, send invitations, and manage your party, all in one place.
Parties support up to 8 players by default, configurable up to 32 by server administrators. After all, the idea is to have a party, not an entire guild!
The party HUD displays member portraits, health bars, and online status.
Choose between Compact, Expanded, or Hidden modes, and move the HUD anywhere on your screen through the RPG+ Central, leaving room for minimaps and other modpack interfaces.
Accidentally hitting teammates is frustrating, especially when pets are involved!
Parties helps prevent friendly fire, including melee damage and knockback. Player-fired arrows can even pass through protected allies to hit enemies behind them.
Protection also extends to recognized tamed companions, including those from compatible mods. Some modded attacks and creatures may require additional support.
Parties was built for multiplayer, with server-managed groups that persist across disconnections and individual interface settings for each player.
Modpack compatibility is a priority. The goal is to work alongside as many mods as possible, especially those using Minecraft's vanilla mechanics, while keeping Parties independent and consistent with the RPG+ project.
If you find an incompatibility, please report the issue along with the mods and versions involved. Your feedback helps me investigate problems and improve compatibility whenever possible.
Parties includes several configuration options so players and server administrators can adjust the mod to their needs.
HUD visibility and positioning can be adjusted directly through the RPG+ Central using the gear button.
Other preferences, such as interface scale, notifications, and additional information displayed on screen, are available in config/rpgplusparties-client.toml.
These settings are individual and don't affect other players.
Here are a few common questions about Parties, its development, compatibility, and what I have planned
Parties is currently available only for NeoForge 1.21.1, and I don't have plans to release it for other versions at the moment.
Parties was developed with the assistance of AI tools, mainly to support programming, research, identifying and fixing issues, and code review.
The mod's concepts, features, design decisions, visual direction, and acceptance testing were defined and reviewed by me.
Parties is part of the RPG+ project, a collection of mods and resources developed to expand the possibilities for customization, roleplaying, and player interaction in Minecraft.
Thanks to everyone who follows the project, shares suggestions, and helps identify problems. Your feedback plays an important role in helping me continue improving the mod.
