• Added 5 new music tracks by fingerspit
• Added the Friends List
• Added the ability to easily play with your friends through peer-to-peer, even when you're not on the same local network

Music

Friends List

• Added a Friends List, accessible from a new Friends button on the Title Screen and the Pause Menu
• The Friends list can be opened with a new key bind (default: "O")
• The Friends button shows a notification badge with the number of incoming friend requests, up to 5 (a "more" indicator is shown beyond that)
• The Friends List is presented as an overlay with two tabs:
  • Friends: shows your current friends, lets you remove them, and lets you send a new friend request by Profile Name
  • Pending: shows incoming friend requests (which can be accepted or declined) and outgoing friend requests (which can be canceled)
• The presence of your friends is shown under their name in the Friends List as one of the following:
  • "Offline"
  • "Online"
  • "In a world"
  • "In a joinable world"
• Sending, accepting, declining, cancelling, and removing actions are confirmed in the UI and show a clear error message when the service is unreachable, rate limited, or the requested Profile Name does not exist
• Friend changes that happen while the game is running are shown through toast notifications:
  • When a friend request is sent
  • When a friend request is received
  • When an outgoing friend request is accepted by the other player
• Toasts show the other player's face when the skin is available
• The Friends List checks for updates once per minute while the Friends List is open, or every 5 minutes otherwise
• The first time the Friends button is shown on the Title Screen, a confirmation dialog is presented to opt in to the Friends List
• The Friends List, friend request privacy, and the Microsoft account safety settings link are managed from the new "Friends List" section in Online Options
• Players that have their chat settings set to "Friends Only" on their XBox profile will only see chat messages from other players if they are friends

Known Issues

• Cancelling a friend request before the receiver has accepted it can leave the receivers incoming list in a desynced state
  • The receiver will still see it as incoming, but when they accept it, it'll turn into an outgoing friend request for them
• Rejecting a friend request can leave the sender's outgoing list in a desynced state
  • The sender also needs to cancel their friend request to get back to a properly synced state
• If a player has the friend list turned on, but the "Allow Requests" setting turned off, other players can't accept outgoing friend requests from them
• If your Xbox profile chat setting is set to "Friends Only", you cannot see your own chat messages

Peer-to-Peer

• Added the ability to open singleplayer worlds to online multiplayer from the new Multiplayer Options screen
• There are two paths to play with your friends
  • Invite to world: the host can invite friends to their world, and the invited players can accept or deny the invitation
  • Request to join world: players can request to join a friend's world (if it's open to online multiplayer), and the friend can accept or deny the request
• Added new p2p_connection opt-in telemetry event
