We are working on a rust port to solve the issues that have occurred, please be patient. Thank you

For now, this software no longer works with the latest versions |

BEFORE YOU USE THIS TOOL, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: WE AS CONTRIBUTORS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS CAUSED BY THIS APP. USE AN ALT ACCOUNT, JUST IN CASE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS METHOD.
This is a project for minecraft bedrock/(java with geyser) that allows you to join servers via the in game friends tab. The most notable differing factor is, that console players can connect to servers without using an advanced method.
This project is still in development, so please be patient if there are issues.
The best way to use this tool at the moment is as a node module. Read the tutorial below for more information of how to set this up.
This tool includes a lesser known fix that flushes the sessions once it hits 35 players. Another feature is efficient multi account management, this is achieved by having all of the accounts join the same session.
If you want to be notified when any changes occur to this project, you can join the discord server.
FriendConnect Support Server Invite
If you are using this standalone or via npm you will need to have at least node 18.2 installed with npm.
If you use Pterodactyl Panel you can refer to https://github.com/Androecia/FriendConnect-Pterodactyl for the official egg. You'll still want to read below so you understand what certain variables do and are as informed as possible.
You can download this repository and edit the .env file to use this tool standalone. The process is pretty straight forward and only requires a couple of steps to get going.
Step 1: Clone the repo, or download the repos files as a zip archive
Unzip the archive and/or navigate to the root directory of the tool.
Step 2: Make sure you are on node version v20
Note: Unless you have downloaded this verson of node. You may need to install
NVM(node version manager) to setup an alias in youbashrcorzshrcfile to change the version to node 20.
nvm install v20
nvm use v20
nvm alias default v20
Note: You will need to find out how to install NodeJS on your current system,
WindowsandMacusers use a different process that can be found here NodeJS Documentation
Step 3: Generate an index.js file to setup a default Friend-Connect configuration, and place it into the root directory
//import { Session } from "friend-connect";
import { Session } from "./dist/index.js";
new Session({
hostName: "Server Name", // The hostname of the server
worldName: "Message of the Day: Hello World", // Use as a MOTD
version: "1.19.60", // The version of the session, this can be any string.
protocol: 565, //The protocol of the server you are connecting to.
connectedPlayers: 0, // Used as a fallback if pinging the server fails.
maxConnectedPlayers: 40, // Used as a fallback if pinging the server fails.
ip: "tailvile.xyz", // The ip of the server you are using.
port: 19132, // The port of the server you are using.
connectionType: 6, // I don't recommend changing this.
log: true, // If you want to see the console output set to true.
joinability: "joinable_by_friends", // The joinability of the session, if this is changed only one account can be used to connect to the session.
autoFriending: true, // Set this to true if you want to automatically add people who follow the accounts.
pingServerForInfo: true, // If FriendConnect keeps erroring out due to a rakNet ping error you can set this to false.
tokenPath: "./auth", // The path to the directory that contains the authentication tokens.
accounts: ["foo@example.com", "bar@example.com"], // A list of emails that correspond to accounts you want to use with FriendConnect.
//These are values retrieved from the server on when the server advertisement is fetched, if true it will use a value from above.
constants: {
//worldName: true,
//hostName: true,
maxConnectedPlayers: true,
connectedPlayers: true,
//protocol: true,
version: true,
},
});Note: Since the npm package isn't always up to date, and no workflow exist for Continuous Integration for deployment, it is only possible to run this program locally for the time being. That is why there is a comment at the top of the file.
Step 4: While in the root directory of the project, run this command to compile the Typescript
npm run build
Step 5: Once Typescript compiles sucsessfully, run this command to start the program
npm start
Step 5: If all goes well you should be greeted with this output
Step 6: Navigate to https://www.microsoft.com/link and enter the auth code given to you in the output. This will link the xbox live account to the Friend-Connect tool.
Step 7: Output should be relatively normal, assuming you actually have a server running that the program can ping, if not, there will be an error showing that the ping timed out.
If this happens, double check your server IP and ensure your ports are forwarded propely 19132 and 19133.
Congratulations! You are all set to use the Friend-Connect Tool!
npm install friend-connect
Create a file and name it whatever you want. Then paste this example into it:
import { Session } from "friend-connect";
new Session({
hostName: "Server Name", // The hostname of the server
worldName: "Message of the Day: Hello World", // Use as a MOTD
version: "1.19.60", // The version of the session, this can be any string.
protocol: 565, //The protocol of the server you are connecting to.
connectedPlayers: 0, // Used as a fallback if pinging the server fails.
maxConnectedPlayers: 40, // Used as a fallback if pinging the server fails.
ip: "tailvile.xyz", // The ip of the server you are using.
port: 19132, // The port of the server you are using.
connectionType: 6, // I don't recommend changing this.
log: true, // If you want to see the console output set to true.
joinability: "joinable_by_friends", // The joinability of the session, if this is changed only one account can be used to connect to the session.
autoFriending: true, // Set this to true if you want to automatically add people who follow the accounts.
pingServerForInfo: true, // If FriendConnect keeps erroring out due to a rakNet ping error you can set this to false.
tokenPath: "./auth", // The path to the directory that contains the authentication tokens.
accounts: ["foo@example.com", "bar@example.com"], // A list of emails that correspond to accounts you want to use with FriendConnect.
//These are values retrieved from the server on when the server advertisement is fetched, if true it will use a value from above.
constants: {
//worldName: true,
//hostName: true,
maxConnectedPlayers: true,
connectedPlayers: true,
//protocol: true,
version: true,
},
});Set type to module in the package.json file.
If you don't know what I am talking about, make a file called package.json and add the following.
{ "type": "module" }You can run the file with node --es-module-specifier-resolution=node --experimental-fetch ./path/to/file.js.
If you want to see extra debug information. Set this environment variable as seen below.
FRIEND_CONNECT_DEBUG=true- Add a way to fetch the version and protocol of the server on session Update.
- Add automatically querying the player numbers from the server on session Update.
- Add the ability to provide an array of strings to be chosen from for the hostName and worldName that is rotated through on session Update.
- Check if the user owns any games if so send an error telling them to use an alt account.
I was unable to get the games owned, but I do check if there are achievements on the profile.
- Add an option to disable auto friending.
- Make a user friendly way to use this tool like a discord bot or something.
- Add a cli tool maybe.
If you are contributing to this project, edit the .env file in the root directory.
This file is used in ./test/index.js to test the tool.

#FRIEND_CONNECT_DEBUG=trueThis project is inspired by and is a js port of the rtm516/MCXboxBroadcast from java.
FriendConnect adds a key feature that makes the friending automated.
I worked with rtm516 to figure out the uri and headers for finding the followers of an xbox profile.
