Twemoji

Adds Pixelated Twitter-style emoji to Minecraft chat, signs, books, and tooltips. Type :name: to insert one.

Features

The full Twemoji set built in : smileys, hands, flags, symbols, all of it.
Live shortcode conversion: type :smile: and it pops in as you close the colon or hit space.
Skin tone preference for hand and people emojis.
Animated emojis via datapack.
Server datapacks can add custom emojis that sync to every connected client.
Emoji rain command for fun (/twemoji rain <emoji>), works in singleplayer and on servers.

How to type emojis

Open chat, type : and start typing the name. A suggestion list appears. Or open the picker with the keybind (rebindable in Controls).

Custom emojis (server datapacks)

Drop a PNG into a datapack at data/<namespace>/twemoji/emoji/<name>.png. The file name is the shortcode. Static and animated both supported (animated uses the same .png.mcmeta format as vanilla animated textures).

There's also a discord bot and website available in my Discord Server with a built-in datapack editor

Singleplayer and dedicated servers work the same — the integrated server pushes the set to your client on join.

Full datapack format and examples are in the project README on GitHub.

Commands

/twemoji skin <0-5> - set your skin tone (0 = default) can also be done in the picker.
/twemoji rain <emoji> [seconds] - emoji rain on your screen.
/twemoji rain <emoji> [seconds] <players> - admins only, trigger rain for someone else.
/twemoji button <true|false> - show/hide the picker button next to the chat input.
/twemoji flags <true|false> - toggle regional indicator flag emoji rendering.
/twemoji render <size> <emoji> - export an emoji to a PNG file.
/emoji upload <name> <file> - admin command to add a server-wide emoji at runtime.
