• Direction Compass - Arrow pointing toward each party member
• Health Bar - Monitor your friends' HP at a glance
• Food Bar - Know when someone needs to eat
• Minimap Pins - Party members appear on your minimap

Toggle between compact and expanded views with the a/A buttons.

Right-click a party member for options:

• Change Color - Customize each member's accent color
• Kick - Remove a member (leader only)
• Make Lead - Transfer leadership

Invites

Click + to invite players. They'll receive a prompt with options to accept, decline, or temporarily silence invites.

Offline Handling

Party persists when members disconnect - they'll show as offline until they return.
