MyChatEmotes

by borigo6

MyChatEmotes lets players type Twitch- or Discord-style shortcodes in Minecraft chat and see them rendered as images inline.

FabricClient or server, optionalMIT License26.2

What it does

Custom emotes are added by shortcode: a player types a name between colons and the image appears in the chat line. A server owner drops image files into the emotes folder, and the mod fetches them automatically when a player joins, then renders them inline. Animated GIF emotes play in the chat and in the picker.

The mod is one Fabric jar, intended to stay vanilla-safe. Emote files are cached per server and separated from other servers, and an operator can run an emotes reload command to force a rescan after new files arrive. New emotes dropped into the folder can be pushed to players online without a restart.

Either side can run the mod, and neither side needs it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 26.2, with 1.1 for 26.2 as the latest file. The license is the MIT License, and the project is not open source as a whole.

Key features

  1. Shortcode suggestions

    Typing a colon and the first letters of a shortcode opens a suggestion popup listing matching emotes.

  2. Tabbed in-game picker

    A button in the chat screen opens a tabbed grid of emotes, with jumbo previews of animated emotes.

  3. Automatic sync from the server

    The server streams its emotes to joining clients, so players do not fetch them by hand.

  4. Live uploads and rescans

    New emotes added to the server folder can be pushed online, and operators can force a rescan at any time.

Questions

Does a player need MyChatEmotes to see emotes from a server?

Not necessarily. Either side can run the mod and neither needs it, so a player on a server that runs the mod gets the emotes streamed automatically, and the server works without players installing it.

Which Minecraft version does MyChatEmotes support?

Only Minecraft 26.2 is listed. The latest Fabric file is 1.1 for 26.2, published 2026-07-11, and no other game versions are published.

How do server owners add new emotes?

They drop image files into the emotes folder on the server, and the mod pushes them to online players. An operator can also run the reload command to force a rescan.

What the author says

Bring Twitch/Discord-style emotes to Minecraft chat. Type:shortcode: and it renders as an image inline, right where the text was. The server owner drops PNGs into a folder, and every player with the mod sees them automatically - no manual downloads, no resource-pack juggling, no client config. ## Features Ops can run…
