TwemojiChat
by Bruhdows
TwemojiChat renders Twemoji artwork in Minecraft chat, turning typed shortcodes and pasted Unicode emoji into images while players chat.
What it does
Typing a shortcode such as a colon-wrapped emoji name in chat shows Twemoji artwork in its place, and pasted Unicode emoji are drawn the same way. Autocomplete suggests matching names as the message is typed, and pressing Tab or Enter accepts the highlighted suggestion. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need to run it and players without the mod see the shortcode as plain text.
The mod supports Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files across 19 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2. The latest file for each loader is 1.1.2 for 26.1.2, published on 2026-06-11. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, and the source and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Shortcode rendering
Shortcodes typed between colons display as Twemoji images in chat, both in sent and received messages.
Unicode emoji conversion
Emoji characters pasted into chat are drawn with the same Twemoji artwork, keeping the look consistent.
Emoji name suggestions
Matching emoji names appear while typing, and Tab or Enter accepts the current suggestion.
Plain text for others
Players without the mod see the shortcode as ordinary text, so the message still reads without images.

Single-player conversations
Players who chat in single-player worlds or on LAN can use shortcodes and pasted emoji with the same autocomplete.
Who it’s for: Players who want Twemoji emoji in Minecraft chat. Because the mod runs only on the client, server owners do not need to install it for their players to use it.
