This would help a lot with a lot of issues my friend group has when we hang out! Sometimes we'll join instances only to find out some of our friends we were hanging out with can't get in for one reason or another (invite-only, PC-only, ID-restricted, etc). This'll also make world-hopping way, way easier.

I wrote a big detailed concept which is too long for this box, I'll try to sum it up...

There should be a temporary party tab in the small Quick Menu, where the party settings, members, and leader's current instance are shown, and where the party leader can transfer leadership (this is not a request). The instance display here will have a join button or the Instance Closed indicator, whichever applies.

If the instance the party leader is in is (group) public, {invite|friends|group}plus, or if the party leader joins via invites, party members can always join the party leader. You'll get an automatic invite when the party leader (only!) changes instances.

When you receive an invite from a party leader, you can see the members of that person's party, so you know who to expect when they join. When you send someone an invite, you don't see this for privacy reasons, just a warning that they are in a party.

For certain situations, like group-only (incl. role restricted) and friends-only instances, joining a PC-only world with non-PC players, or joining an instance run by a group that has any member banned, the party leader will get a warning that they are leaving people behind when they try to join that instance.

Parties should use vote kicks to remove people from the party, and the party leader should not be able to unilaterally dissolve the party, only leave it.

Don't auto-end parties immediately; wait an hour after everyone has logged off to end the party (crashes happen).

Instance owners and moderators should be able to see (including on nameplates) who are party leaders, and who are in a party together in that instance, for moderation purposes. Maybe even being able to kick the entire party (every member, all at once, even the ones not in the instance).

If your friend is a party leader and you are in an instance with them, you should be able to request to join their party.

I like the idea, but I would love a pop up saying

"Party leader is portaling to: "World Name"

Would you like to follow?

YES NO"
