EmoteCraft lets players do animated emotes with an easy menu. One project covers every loader, so you just grab the right build for your server: Bukkit, Fabric, Folia, Forge, NeoForge, Paper, or Quilt. Example emote

What You'll Need

Step 1: Downloading EmoteCraft

Go to the EmoteCraft page on Modrinth and pick the build that matches your server's loader (Bukkit, Fabric, Folia, Forge, NeoForge, Paper, or Quilt) and Minecraft version. Modrinth install

Step 2: Uploading EmoteCraft to Your Server

  1. Log in to your panel and stop your server.
  2. Open the Files section. Go to your mods folder (Fabric/Forge/NeoForge/Quilt) or plugins folder (Bukkit/Paper/Folia).
  3. Upload the EmoteCraft file you downloaded.
  4. If you're on Fabric, also upload Fabric API if you don't have it yet. Mod in file manager

Step 3: Restarting Your Server

Start your server again and check the console. You should see EmoteCraft load. If the server won't start, you're probably missing Fabric API or a Forge library. Mod loading in logs

Step 4: Installing EmoteCraft on the Client

Players need EmoteCraft on their own game to see and use emotes. They should:

  1. Download the EmoteCraft mod that matches their loader and Minecraft version.
  2. Put it in their own mods folder before joining.

Step 5: Using Emotes

Players can open the emote menu with a keybind to pick an emote. You can also add custom emotes to the server's EmoteCraft folder for everyone to use.
