Emoji
by KGriffon
Emoji lets players type emoji codes in chat and see them rendered as Twemoji images, using only the resource packs that supply them.
What it does
The client-side mod replaces emoji codes typed in chat with images, so a message reads with pictures wherever the matching art is available. Only the player's own client needs the mod; the server and other players can run without it, and players without the mod see the plain text codes instead.
The mod ships with no pictures of its own. The emoji art comes from resource packs: Twemoji Smileys & Emotion, Twemoji People & Body and Twemoji Animals & Nature are optional dependencies that supply the basic emojis, and further Twemoji packs for food, travel, activities, objects, symbols and flags are listed as work in progress. Custom emojis can be added with a resource pack by placing images in an emoji folder inside a namespace in the assets directory.
Files are published for Fabric only, with the latest build 1.0.1+1.21.4 for 1.21.4 released on 2025-01-17 after a first release on 2025-01-05. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code is public.
