Suggestion #13772

Expand the /friends system with more relationship roles

Currently, the /friends system allows players to add friends and promote them to Best Friend, which is a nice feature. However, because you also have /marry system, the friend system feels quite limited and doesn't offer much personalization.

I would like to suggest adding additional relationship roles that players can assign to their friends, such as:

Brother
Sister
Comrade
Partner
Ally
Mentor
Student
Squadmate
Family
Trusted Friend
Guildmate
Bodyguard

These roles would not necessarily need special gameplay perks; they could simply be cosmetic titles displayed in the friends menu, chat, profiles, or friend lists.

Why This Would Be Beneficial

1. More Personalization
Players form many different kinds of relationships on the server. Not every close connection is a "Best Friend" or a spouse. Additional roles would allow players to better express their social connections.

2. Better Community Building
Minecraft servers thrive on communities and friendships. Giving players more ways to identify and recognize their relationships encourages stronger social bonds and player retention.

3. Increased Roleplay Opportunities
Many players enjoy roleplaying or creating their own stories. Roles such as Brother, Sister, Comrade, or Mentor would add depth without requiring major development effort.

4. Makes the Friend System Feel More Complete
Since the server already has a /marry feature for romantic relationships, expanding the /friends system would help represent other types of relationships as well.

Possible Implementation

Example:

/friend role <player> brother
/friend role <player> sister
/friend role <player> comrade

Or a simple GUI where players can select a relationship role from a list.

This would be a relatively small quality-of-life addition that could make the social aspect of the server feel much more immersive and unique.
