About this Mod

Emotes

fabric
fabric-api

This mod allows you to use server defined emotes in chat

For Users:

Just type : in chat with the start of your favorite emotes to use them!

For admins

Players that don't have the client mod will see a placeholder defined by the server owner.

Every emotes files are stocked in the folder <server folder>/config/emotes/emotes

But they aren't loaded automaticaly, you need to put them in the config at <server folder>/config/emotes/emotes.toml
You'll have a list of all your emotes, they should follow the following patern : "<name of png file>:<placeholder name>"

For example, I have the emote kappa.png in the emotes/emotes folder
In my config file, I'll have

emotes = ["kappa:Kappa"]

and I'll be able to use it in game as ":kappa:" and players without the mod will see "Kappa"

WARNINGS

You can't put emotes with an uppercase name (it's a minecraft limitation for where I stock the emotes in memory), you'll have to always have a full lowercase name.

Your emotes need to be squares, they can be high resolution but they need to be squares!
If not respected, the clients will crash when opening their chat.

TL;DR:

  • no Kappa.png only kappa.png
  • no "Kappa:Kappa" in config file, only "kappa:Kappa"
  • no 600x400 images only 600x600

Your emotes will be sent to the client aka they will have your emotes files on their computer so be aware of not using images you don't want publicly available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Emotes server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.8). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Emotes compatible with fabric?

Emotes officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.8, 1.21.7, 1.21.5. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Emotes – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Emotes consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
