+# 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 reduces chat command spam and keeps the most common party actions in one place.
+
+## Features
+
+*   Open a party UI with a keybind instead of typing `/party` commands by hand.
+*   Create, leave, and disband parties.
+*   Invite nearby players, invite everyone nearby, or invite favorites.
+*   Handle incoming party invites with accept and decline buttons.
+*   Keep track of current party members and online players in one screen.
+*   Invite or remove players directly from the player list.
+*   Mark favorite players with a star and send favorite-only invites.
+*   Use an auto-accept invites toggle for faster party joins.
+
+## Why use it?
+
+If you play Vault Hunters with friends, this mod makes party management much less annoying. Instead of constantly typing commands, you get a dedicated UI for the most common party actions, plus favorites and auto-accept to make repeated party setup faster.
+
+## Requirements
+
+*   Minecraft 1.18.2
+*   Forge 40.x
+*   Vault Hunters modpack
+
+## Notes
+
+*   This mod is client-side only.
+*   The server still controls party permissions and final command behavior.
+*   For best results, test it inside the Vault Hunters pack client.
+
+## Changelog
+
+### 1.2.2
+
+*   Removed the `Runtime.getRuntime()` fallback from the external link handler.
+
+### 1.2.1
+
+*   Fixed the accept and decline invite buttons so they sit correctly around the Create Party button.
+
+### 1.2.0
+
+*   Added favorite players with a clickable star in the online player list.
+*   Added Invite Favorites to invite every available favorite player at once.
+*   Reworked the party screen layout to better fit the top controls and both list panels.
+*   Improved the offline player label shown in the party list.
+
+### 1.1.0
+
+*   Added auto-accept invites toggle that works even when the screen is closed.
+*   Added player heads beside party and online player names.
+*   Improved row states, invite cooldown handling, and inline UI feedback.
+*   Refined layout spacing and removed the extra filter button/context text.
+*   Split party screen logic into helper classes to keep the screen file smaller.
+
+### 1.0.0
+
+*   Initial release of Vault Party UI.
+*   Added the party management screen, keybind, and core invite/remove actions.
