Emoji Type (Recontinued)

by the_jan_craft

Emoji Type (Recontinued) lets players type shortcode placeholders in chat, sign and text fields and see them converted into emoji characters.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.21 – 26.2

What it does

Typing a keyword wrapped in colons, such as :heart or :skull, is replaced by the matching emoji character as the text is entered. The conversion happens in the client's text fields, so the mod only changes what the typing player sees and sends.

The mod is a Fabric client mod and is client-side only, so players install it alone and servers need nothing. It is a fork of an earlier Emoji Type mod and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Source code is published. Files exist for 14 release versions, 1.21 – 26.2, and the latest Fabric file is v1.103.0 for 26.2, released 2026-06-16.

Key features

  1. Shortcode conversion

    Placeholders such as :heart or :skull are converted into the matching emoji characters while typing.

  2. Typing-only effect

    The mod only makes typing easier. Emoji already in the game are typed the same way, and no new items are added.

  3. Visibility limits

    Emoji typed with the mod are visible only to players who also have it. Other players still see the placeholder, and books and signs may not show the characters.

  4. Server compatibility

    Some servers run plugins that alter chat, so symbols may not display reliably there. The author cannot promise that they will.

What the author says

A recontinued version of the Emoji Type mod that allows you to easily enter emoji into text fields by typing a specific key word (e.g.:skull:). This mod allows you to use emojis in minecraft via placeholders (such as:heart:) that get then converted to their character (such as ♥️).
