FriendsForMinecraft - Fun With Friends Just Got Easier - News

Do you have a circle of friends you always play Minecraft with? Maybe a very large circle of friends? Heck, it could just be a few friends - one thing we all struggle with at times is coordinating a time and place to play together, finding new and exciting servers, and communicating with friends out-of-game.

We've stumbled on an app recently that addresses all three of those problems - and quite a few more - it is Friends For Minecraft, and it is pretty awesome! FriendsforMinecraft offers a ton of features for you and your friends, to make coordinating games, server hunts, and play-times even easier! With FFM, you can:

Find out what Minecraft servers your friends are playing on
Share Minecraft screenshots with your friends
Find out the best Minecraft servers to play on
Send messages to Minecraft friends no matter what server they are playing on, even if they're offline
See when your friends are online
Vote on the best servers, worlds and images

Even better, it isn't limited to just one app - You can use the Friends4MC iOS app stand-alone to create your own FriendsForMinecraft account, and add your Minecraft friends; see when they are online, see what servers they are on, and even vote and comment on the best Minecraft images.

The FriendsForMinecraft web client lets users view all images being posted within the FriendsForMinecraft server, in real-time. Users can comment, 'Like' and share these photos within their other social networks!

If using your iPhone or a web-based client doesn't tickle your fancy, the client is also available for PC and MAC, as a stand-alone application.

Keeping track of friends and servers is so easy, even a zombie could do it!

What could make this app seem even more awesome than it already is? How about the price? FrindsForMinecraft is FREE. The only way this app could be better is if it did your homework for you too! So, what are you waiting for? Check out FriendsForMinecraft, and discover a world of friend and game management you never thought possible!

This looks just like FreindsOverlay with the ability to "like" servers... Not interested.

The PC app doesn't seem to work if you don't have Minecraft installed to it's default location.

Pretty sure Linux people don't like JAVA anyway

Mmm, it is working fine. Open the jar, install it then click close. After that open minecraft,login => Singleplayer/ Multiplayer. To open menu press 'm' and for screenshot 'f4'

Yes, this works if you have Minecraft installed to it's default location. But if you play tekkit, FTB, etc, it doesn't install to that. All you have to do though is go ahead and DL minecraft and run it in its default location then run FriendsForMinecraft, go into the mod folder of your default minecraft and copy minecraftfriendz.jar and paste it into the mod folder of whatever minecraft installation you want. Make sure to have Forge installed first! (only works with 1.4.5 atm)

I cant seem to get it to work.. i get the white MOJANG logo then it goes to black... ive done a fresh reinstall of MC. am i missing something?

Edit: i even deleted META-INF before i installed it. should i install the latest forge before installing FFM?

Edit 2: Manual Install is giving the Done Loading bug... i cant get it to work... and since they seem to be biased to the company that files a lawsuit over a SHAPE i cant get this to work on my android...

This is neat! For the iPhone, can you connect to pocket edition servers?

Sort of cool but Curse shouldn't be advertising these products every other day.

Hope this (FFM) isn't going to affect minecraft's performance.

This would be a lot more useful if it were fully integrated with the minecraft client like the Steam API is. Though, it is a great idea

I should point out that this isn't a Curse product, just one guy who made an awesome app for his friends. Then it got big, and here we are.
