You can help by expanding it.

By default, the Social Interactions screen is opened by pressing P. It can also be opened by clicking on the “Player Reporting” button on the pause menu in multiplayer games. The "All" tab lists all players, the "Hidden" tab shows players whose chat messages are hidden, and the "Blocked" tab shows players blocked using their Microsoft account. Social Interactions are only available in multiplayer worlds.

Player Reporting

This section needs to be rewritten. ^[discuss^]

It may contain inappropriate or inaccurate information. Please help us by rewriting it.
Reason: Some statements in this section are matters of opinion.

Players can be reported for sending certain messages the player doing the reporting would object to. Reporting a player is unavailable if the server cannot verify chat messages as most popular servers use mods and plugins to prevent the system to be used.
