As of 19.1.17, you can't add friends on Minecraft.
You can add friends on any server with a new Minecraft plugin called FriendsForMinecraft available at the related links below.
There's no official friends list in Minecraft, but you on special servers there are plugins that enable you to add friends.
The only way you can be in multiplayer you have to get xbox live account then you have to get xbox gold for it (-you have to buy it) after you get xbox live you can add your friends but they have to have xbox live and xbox gold to play with you.
Simply click "Multiplayer" then do "direct connect" or "add server" and type in a server IP. From there, you can play with friends and family on a Minecraft server.
