Emotes

This mod enables the use of special emotes in chat that are configured by the server administrator.

For Players

To activate an emote, simply type the colon symbol : in chat, followed by the name of the desired emote.

For Administrators

Users without the client version of the mod will see a text placeholder specified in the server settings.

All emote image files are stored in the directory <server folder>/config/emotes/emotes.

However, files are not loaded automatically. You need to include them in the configuration file at <server folder>/config/emotes/emotes.toml. Here you will compile a list of all available emotes using the following pattern: "<png file name>:<text placeholder>".

For example, if you have an emote file kappa.png in the emotes/emotes folder. In the configuration file, specify:

emotes = ["kappa:Kappa"]

After this, the emote :kappa: can be used in-game, and players without the mod will see the text "Kappa".

Features and Limitations

• Emote file names must contain only lowercase letters (Minecraft limitation). For example, kappa.png instead of Kappa.png.
• Images must be square. High resolutions are supported, but the proportions must be 1:1. Non-square images may cause client crashes when opening chat.
• Conclusions:
  • only kappa.png, not Kappa.png
  • only "kappa:Kappa" in configuration, not "Kappa:Kappa"
  • only 600x600 images, not 600x400

⚠ Important: Emote files are transmitted to clients, meaning they will be stored on other players' computers. Do not use images you do not want to make publicly available.
