Rome Client
by Nolly
Rome Client gives chat an emoji picker that opens with one click, sorts emojis into category tabs and inserts shortcodes at the cursor.
What it does
Clicking the picker button opens the chat screen directly, where emojis are grouped into category tabs. A search field narrows the list by name as the player types, and a click places the chosen emoji's shortcode at the cursor position in the chat input. The emoji list is received automatically when a player joins a server that runs the companion Rome server mod, so no manual configuration is needed.
Glyphs appear correctly because the server pushes its emoji resource pack, and the client is prompted to accept it on join. The mod targets Fabric and only the client needs it, so servers without the Rome server mod can still be joined by players who install it alone. Builds exist for 1.21.11 only, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.2 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-02-27. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Emoji picker
A single click on the chat screen opens the emoji picker without typing a command first.
Category tabs
Emojis are grouped into tabs so a player can browse one category at a time.
Instant name filter
Typing in the search field filters the emoji list by name as each character is entered.
Click to insert
Clicking an emoji inserts its shortcode at the cursor position in the chat input.
Automatic emoji list
The emoji list arrives from the server on join, so no manual setup is needed on the client.
Pushed resource pack

Euphorium Emoji is client-side only, released under the MIT License and not open source, with files for 1.21.11. CookiEmojis is client-side only and published for 1.21.5 under All rights reserved. WaveMotes is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21 – 1.21.1, so it is the one option here whose code can be read and changed.
