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.
