# SFriends – Simple Friends with Proximity Visibility<\/p>\n
**SFriends** is a modern, lightweight, and intuitive friends system designed to enhance community and teamwork on your server. It provides the essential friend management features your players expect, wrapped in a simple command structure and a clean GUI.<\/p>\n
The standout feature is the **Proximity Nameplate Visibility** system: friends’ nameplates are displayed in a friendly color when they are nearby, while the names of strangers remain hidden. This adds a layer of immersion and makes it easy to identify your allies in a crowd without the clutter of a complex party or clan plugin.<\/p>\n
## \u2728 Key Features<\/p>\n
* **Intuitive Friend Management:** Simple commands (`\/friend add`, `accept`, `remove`) that are easy for anyone to learn.
\n* **GUI Friend List:** A clean and simple graphical menu (`\/friend list`) that displays all friends as player heads. Simply click a head to remove a friend.
\n* **Proximity Nameplate Visibility:**
\n * Friends’ nameplates are revealed in **green** when they enter a configurable radius.
\n * The names of non-friend players are hidden, reducing screen clutter and adding a layer of mystery.
\n * Powered by scoreboards for wide server compatibility, no external dependencies required.
\n* **Lightweight SQLite Storage:** All data is stored in a single file within the plugin folder. No external database setup is needed!
\n* **Highly Configurable:** Easily change the nameplate visibility radius, update speed, and all player-facing messages.
\n* **Localization Ready:** Supports multiple languages. Comes with `English` and `Ukrainian` translations out of the box.<\/p>\n
