Getting started

Create a group: /gruppe erstellen Lounge

Choose a color: /gruppe farbe #22DDCE

Set your tag: /gruppe tag LNG

Invite a friend: /gruppe einladen PlayerName

Accept an invitation: /gruppe annehmen

Commands

/gruppe — Show help.
/gruppe erstellen <name> — Create a group.
/gruppe einladen <player> — Invite an online player.
/gruppe annehmen — Accept an invitation.
/gruppe ablehnen — Decline an invitation.
/gruppe info — Show the group name, tag, members, roles, and online/offline status.
/gruppe tag <tag> — Change the group tag.
/gruppe farbe <color> — Change the group color.
/gruppe verlassen — Leave your group.
/gruppe entfernen <player or UUID> — Remove a member.

/gruppe aufloesen bestaetigen — Disband the group.

Inviting players, changing tags or colors, removing members, transferring leadership, and disbanding require group leadership.

Invitations expire after five minutes. Each player can belong to one group at a time. Leaders must transfer leadership before leaving a group with other members.

Group names support 2–24 letters, numbers, underscores, or hyphens without spaces. Custom tags support 1–12 characters of the same types.

Available color names are rot, blau, gruen, gelb, tuerkis, pink, weiss, orange, and lila. Custom hexadecimal colors such as #22DDCE are also supported.

Commands and in-game feedback are currently in German.

Group information

Member entries display the Minecraft name, [Leitung] or [Mitglied], and online/offline status.

UUIDs and hexadecimal color values are hidden from the group information list. The selected hexadecimal color is displayed in the confirmation when changing the group color.

Marker behavior

Markers display only the player’s name and distance, without heads, icons, or arrows.

Group members must be online, in the same dimension, within 10,000 blocks, and inside your field of view. Spectators are not marked.

Press O to toggle markers. The key can be changed under Minecraft’s controls. F1 hides markers along with the rest of the HUD.

Requirements and installation

Minecraft Java 1.21.1
NeoForge 21.1.252 or newer within the 21.1 series
Java 21

Install the same mod version on the server and every player’s client. No additional library mods are required.

Updating from The Lounge Teams

Remove the old lounge-teams JAR and replace it with the new the-lounge-gruppen-system JAR on both server and clients. Do not install both versions together.

The internal mod ID and storage format remain unchanged, preserving existing groups, tags, colors, and key bindings.

This mod does not provide land claims or grief protection.

Beta status

Earlier versions passed automated group-rule, persistence, and networking checks. The latest naming update was checked in the packaged JAR, with compiled classes unchanged from version 1.1.3. The latest information display and renamed interface have not received a new in-game test.
