emogg
by aratakileo
With emogg installed, typed codes such as :smile: in chat turn into emoji pictures for every player on the same resource pack.
What it does
emogg adds emoji support to most of the Minecraft interface, so emoji names are shown in chat, signs, item names, entity name tags and container names. Emoji suggestions and a selection menu appear while typing, but only in chat. The mod ships two built-in emoji packs, and new emojis can be added through a resource pack by placing image files in the assets/emogg/emoji folder.
The players need the mod on their client, while a server can add it for extra features and may leave it out. Players who join a server over the network need the mod and the same resource packs as everyone else; otherwise other players see the plain emoji name. The mod depends on Elegantia and Sinytra Connector, and Mod Menu is optional. Builds cover 1.17 – 1.20.4 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Emoji in most interface text
Emoji names are rendered as pictures on signs, item names, entity name tags and container names, not only in chat.
Built-in emoji packs
Two emoji packs come with the mod, and emojis can be added through a resource pack with .png or .gif images.
Suggestions and selection menu
Typing a colon opens completion suggestions and a picker for emoji names in the chat box.
Automatic name normalization
Spaces, dots and dashes in file names become underscores, and unsupported characters are removed so names stay valid.
