If your world privacy is set to Invite Only when opening your world, your friends will need an invite to join. There are currently two places where you can invite your friends to your world.

You can invite your friends using the Lunar Client Friend Menu or the player's chat box, both can be accessed using Shift + Tab.

After inviting a friend, they will receive a notification letting them know they were invited to your single player world and will receive a message in their chat box.

You can also access world options from the World Info Menu after hosting your world. This menu will appear in the Friend Menu after hosting and will also give you access to kick, promote, and demote players in your world.

Once selecting one of these buttons, you will be prompted with a similar menu to the one you saw when initially hosting the world. This menu will give you the ability to adjust the difficulty, game mode, world privacy, and slots at anytime. It will also give you the option to close the world, kicking everyone connected to it.

As the host of the world you have the ability to promote and demote people in your world. Promoting a guest of your world allows them to access your world when the privacy is set to Invite Only. To promote friends in your world, simply open the Friends Menu and navigate to the World Info Menu.

You also have the ability to remove friends from your world in this menu. You can either revoke their membership, not allowing them to access your world the next time it is put up as Invite Only or you can kick them from your world.

As the host of the world, you have the power to close the world off completely from your friends at any time. You can close your world by accessing the World Options or simply saving and quitting in the Escape Menu.

When closing the world, you will be prompted with a confirmation if there are friends in your world. This will ensure you aren't accidently closing your world when your friends are enjoying themselves.
