; If you can’t see 2BZ under Friends
: Ensure online multiplayer is allowed in your Microsoft/Xbox privacy settings.
: Restart the game after sending the friend request.
: Verify you’re signed into the same Microsoft account you used to add the friend.

== Resource Pack ==
The 2BZ pack enables custom items, UI, and visuals. Keep it enabled.

=== Java: Enable or Fix ===
* In '''Multiplayer''' → select '''2BZ''' → '''Edit''' → set '''Server Resource Packs''' to '''Enabled''' or '''Prompt'''.
* If it sticks on “Downloading” or “100%”:
** Quit to title and rejoin.
** Close Minecraft. In <code>%APPDATA%\.minecraft\server-resource-packs</code> delete the latest 2BZ pack, relaunch, and rejoin.
** In '''Options''' → '''Resource Packs''', remove broken packs, then retry.

=== Bedrock: Apply ===
* When prompted on join, choose '''Download & Apply'''.
* If server packs were disabled globally, re-enable under '''Settings''' → '''Storage'''/'''Global Resources''', then rejoin.

== New Player Checklist ==
* Read [[Rules]].
* Confirm the resource pack is applied.
* See [[Getting Started]] for early gear and money tips.
* Join [https://2bz.org/discord Discord].
