Overview
- Mojang's 26.2 Snapshot 7, released Tuesday, adds a native Friends List and peer-to-peer world joining to Java Edition.
- Players open single-player worlds to others from a new Multiplayer Options menu that replaces Open to LAN.
- Hosts can invite friends or accept join requests, and a simple Off, Local, or Online toggle controls access.
- Friend presence and privacy tie to Xbox profiles, letting players show full status, limit it, or appear offline, with chat settings carrying over.
- Because snapshots are test builds, Mojang urges backups since opening worlds in them can corrupt saves, and anyone can opt in through the Launcher; the build also adds the Bounce music disc by fingerspit, five new background tracks, and more Chaos Cubed tweaks.
