Emote Chat

by SimolZimol

Emote Chat puts a small + button beside the chat input, so players can insert emote symbols into a message with one click.

What it does

A single click on the small + button beside the chat input brings up an emote menu right on the chat screen. Choosing an entry inserts that emote into the message being typed, so no symbol has to be copied from elsewhere. The mod is a lightweight client-side utility, and only the player's own game needs it installed.

The emote list can be changed. The first launch writes emotechat.json to the config folder, and editing that file lets players add or drop emotes to keep their own presets. Files are published for Fabric only, in 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest build. The mod requires Fabric API, and it is not open source, released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Chat input button

    A small + button next to the chat input opens the emote menu without leaving the chat screen.

  2. One-click insertion

    Selecting an emote in the menu places its symbol into the chat input at once.

  3. Editable emote list

    The emotechat.json file in the config folder holds the list, which players can edit to add or remove emotes.

  4. Personal presets

    Because the list lives in a config file, each player keeps their own set of emotes independent of the server.

Questions

Does Emote Chat need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Emote Chat on Fabric.

Does the server need Emote Chat installed?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Where are the emotes stored?

The list is kept in emotechat.json inside the config folder, where emotes can be added or removed by editing the file.
