Just change the game server options.
Like there will be a option, were only your friends can join your server.

#5 
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local localPlayer = players.LocalPlayer

local friendsWith = {} --array of player instances the local player is friends with

for _, player in ipairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
	if player ~= localPlayer then
		local success, result = pcall(function()
			return localPlayer:IsFriendsWith(player.UserId)

Local script inside StarterPlayerScripts folder.

There’s also the following method but for this use-case it isn’t as efficient.

If you want to get all the player’s friend. You can use HTTP and use GET to get the data from Roblox API. Here’s the Roblox API doc for friends, Friends Api

Specifically, to get all the player’s friend, here is the specific API:-
https://friends.roblox.com/v1/users/1168378543/friends

Just change the UserId to the player UserId in game that you want to search all their friends off.
You need to use a proxy since Roblox doesn’t allow making request off their own servers.
Roproxy is a reliable proxy, so you can just do it like this:-
https://friends.roproxy.com/v1/users/1168378543/friends

By getting their friends, that means you get the friends’ current data. Here’s an example of the data of a friend of mine

 {
      "isOnline": false,
      "presenceType": 0,
      "isDeleted": false,
      "friendFrequentRank": 1,
      "description": null,
      "created": "0001-01-01T06:00:00Z",
      "isBanned": false,
      "externalAppDisplayName": null,
      "id": 135246762,
      "name": "Embossed2",
      "displayName": "LannisUltraBard"
    }

Solution: O ye I was complicating things and didn’t realize that there’s a simple function for that
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Players/GetFriendsAsync

Basically gets the player’s all Friend, online or offline

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local localPlayer = players.LocalPlayer

local friendsWith = {} --array of player instances the local player is friends with

local success, result = pcall(function()
	localPlayer:GetFriendsOnline(200)
end)

if success then
	if result then
		for _, friend in ipairs(result) do
			if friend["IsOnline"] then
				if friend["GameId"] == game.JobId then
					local player = players:FindFirstChild(friend["UserName"])
					if player then
						table.insert(friendsWith, player)
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

Here’s an alternate solution with the other method I provided.
