Emotecraft: Borrow Their Emote (EBTE)
by ZipeStudio
Borrow Emote, the client-side addon for Emotecraft, lets a player join another player's emote so both play it together.
What it does
When a player looks at someone playing an emote and presses Shift with the right mouse button, the borrowed emote starts playing for the borrower as well. Only the client needs the mod, so players can join a server that runs Emotecraft without any server-side install. Borrowing works only when the player's hands are empty, so it never takes over item use.
Installation needs Fabric API and MossyLib, and Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional. Controls can be rebound in the Options Controls screen, with support for other mouse buttons and key chords that press several keys at once. Borrow Emote is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 7 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2, under Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0, and is not open source.
Key features
Borrow another player's emote
Pressing Shift and the right mouse button while looking at a player who is emoting starts the same emote for the borrower.
Synced looping
A borrowed looping emote joins the current point of the animation rather than starting over from the beginning.
Borrowed sound effects
Sound effects from the original emote keep playing when the emote is borrowed.
Turn borrowing off
A setting disables borrowing entirely without uninstalling the mod, and an in-game config screen is available with YACL and Mod Menu.
