Emotify

Players pick from 162 built-in emojis, mark favorites to keep them, and search emoji names and aliases in English or Russian. Nine quick slots, set by drag and drop, are activated with the top-row number keys or the Numpad. A small preview above the hotbar shows the chosen emoji. Sending an emoji is tied to the overhead emotion, so one message shows the reaction for a short moment instead of filling the chat.

Custom emojis can be added as PNG, JPG, JPEG or animated GIF files placed in a folder opened from the button beside the emotion picker. Files must be under 512 KiB. Images are never resized, and files with unsupported dimensions are skipped rather than degraded. GIFs are optimized automatically, keeping up to 30 frames at 15 FPS for a three-second cycle, and longer animations are clipped without speeding up the part that remains. With Shift and right-click, a player can save another player's custom emoji locally.

Emotify is client and server: both the server and every player need it. It runs on Fabric and NeoForge, and compatible servers, including Paper, Purpur and Folia, share custom emotions automatically with nearby Emotify players. Only decoded pixels, frame durations and a stable origin ID are shared, so original image files and local paths never leave the client. The source is open source under the MIT License. Files cover 26.2 on both loaders, along with 1.21.1, 1.21.8 and 1.21.11 builds.
