Feature Request:

I haven't actually seen this requested, which I'm surprised about. I'm also a little disappointed Mojang haven't implemented it either.

Basically the list should have add and remove friend buttons, show a list of friends in a certain order, show if they are online and show what server they are playing on (Or if they are playing single-player). Of-course, there would have to be an online status button, so that you can show others that you are active, away, busy or hide from others altogether (Invisible mode).

You can always add extra features though, for instance:
- Mailing = Send 'e-mails' to your friends, this could be through the menu or even an in-game command.
- Server Joining = An easy click on a friend and then a button labelled 'Join Game' to quickly attempt to join the server they are on.
- Parties = Create a group and add friends into that group... Rather like the Xbox Party System (Cross-Server).

I'd really love to see this feature added, I think it would really benefit the online community of Minecraft and increase the amount of 'Minecrafters' who use Spout. Thanks!
