Twemoji
Twemoji brings the full Twemoji emoji set into chat, with shortcode conversion, a picker and animated emojis for Minecraft.
What it does
Typed shortcodes are converted to pixelated Twemoji images as the message is sent, and a picker opens when a colon is typed followed by a short name. The emoji set covers smileys, hands, people, flags and symbols, with skin tone choices for hand and people emojis.
Static and animated emojis use the same PNG and mcmeta format as vanilla animated textures, so a server can add new emojis through a datapack that drops PNG files into the twemoji/emoji folder. Server datapacks sync custom emojis to connected clients, and the integrated server pushes the set to clients on join. Singleplayer and dedicated servers behave the same way. An emoji rain command adds a fun effect that works in singleplayer and on servers.
Bundled image assets are released under CC-BY 4.0, so attribution must be kept when the assets are redistributed. The mod is available for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across six game versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, under All rights reserved. Public source code and an issue tracker are linked.

How it compares
Discord Emotes is a Fabric client-side mod for 26.1 – 26.1.2 under All rights reserved, so only the client needs it. Skinss+ is released under the MIT License and runs on Fabric and Forge for 1.18.2 – 1.21.8. The server is required and the client is optional. Rain Through Leaves covers Fabric and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.3 and is client and server, so both sides need it.

Adds Pixelated Twitter-style emoji to Minecraft chat, signs, books, and tooltips. Type:name: to insert one. Drop a PNG into a datapack at data/ /twemoji/emoji/.png. The file name is the shortcode. Static and animated both supported (animated uses the same.png.mcmeta format as vanilla animated textures).
