RPG Parties
by matthe815
RPG Parties lets friends form a party, with a status panel that shows teammates' health and armor from anywhere on the server.
What it does
Players group into a party and see each member's status on a panel in the top-left corner of the screen, styled loosely after Final Fantasy menus. The panel shows health, armor and other information, and the amount of information can be customized. A party member who joins a party sees the status of friends as soon as the friend accepts the invitation, wherever they are in the world. Party chat opens with the P key, and the interface is available in English, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish.
The party leader can leave, in which case a new random leader is assigned. Parties are kept until the server restarts. Members cannot damage each other, which makes group combat safer. The mod includes an internal API that other mods can use to add content to the party interface. The mod is published for Fabric and Forge across 19 release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.21.1, and is released under the MIT License as open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Tough as Nails requires RPG Parties.
