Is there a Block User feature support/system?

Does PlayFab have existing solutions or planned solutions to support a Block Player/User pipeline for users?

Or a solution to hold a list of blocked user ids?

I'm thinking of storing blocked user ID's on either a Player Data (Title) or Player Data (Publisher) entry with a key of "BlockedUserList".

Hello,

Currently, PlayFab has a BlockEntity API call but that is used for blocking entities from joining a group. I assume that is not what you are referring to, what specifically are you looking to have users blocked from? Multiplayer, Friends or both?

Both, and smaller systems such as mail / type chat / voice chat. There are restrictions on cross play titles across major platforms that require the 'title' to respect player block requests.

Greetings,

There does exist the Player Ban System, but this bans players from the entire game and is only tangentially related to the block features you're looking for. Unfortunately PlayFab does not support a more fully featured Block feature.

However, you can request this feature over in the Feature Request forum space.

If you choose to implement your own blocking system, the blocked player IDs could be stored in player data, and cached on login to reduce the need to request the block list from PlayFab during gameplay.
