Vault Party UI

Vault Party UI is a client-side Forge mod for Vault Hunters 1.18.2 that adds a fast, focused party management screen. It brings party invites, favorites, previous-party restoration, Vault difficulty information, voice-chat integration, and party-switch requests into one convenient interface.

By default, press I to open the UI. The key can be changed in Minecraft's key-bind settings.

Features

• Open a dedicated party UI instead of typing /party commands by hand.
• Create, leave, and disband parties with the UI.
• Invite selected, nearby, or all online players.
• Invite or remove players directly from the player list.
• Mark players as favorites and invite all available favorites at once.
• Configure auto-accept as Off, Favorites Only, or All.
• Restore your previous party and preview which players will be invited.
• View each online party member's local Vault difficulty.
• Click your own difficulty label to change your Vault difficulty.
• Send party-switch requests to players who are already in another party.
• Respond to supported switch requests using clickable chat actions.
• Use optional keybinds for create/invite-all, create/invite-favorites, and invite-nearby actions.
• Use optional Simple Voice Chat integration.
• Invite your voice group to your Vault party.
• Invite your Vault party to voice chat.
• See microphone icons for players in your current voice group.

Why use it?

If you play Vault Hunters with friends, Vault Party UI makes party management much less annoying. Instead of constantly typing commands, you get a dedicated interface for common party actions. Favorites, auto-accept, previous-party restoration, quick actions, and party-switch requests make repeated party setup faster.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.18.2
• Forge 40.x
• Vault Hunters modpack

Notes

• Vault Party UI is client-side only.
• The mod does not bypass Vault Hunters' server-side party rules or permissions.
• Automatic party switching requires both players to have Vault Party UI installed.
• Players without Vault Party UI receive readable party-switch instructions through a private message.
• Party-switch requests require the server's private-message command /msg to be enabled.
• Servers that replace or heavily modify private-message formatting may interfere with automatic party-switch requests.
• Simple Voice Chat support is optional. Vault Party UI works without it.
