Emote

0.7.0

Highlights

• Replaced the previous datapack-based emote system with a new animation JSON runtime.
• Updated the web converter to support the new format for BD Engine and Animated Java projects.
• Added support for Item Display, Block Display, Text Display, and Anchor nodes.
• Added keyframe transforms, node visibility changes, and interpolation.
• Added once, loop, and server_sync playback modes.
• Added an event system for running Minecraft commands when an animation starts, during playback, on loop, and when it stops.
• Reworked player skin support for the new animation format.

Server

• Animation files are now loaded directly from config/emote/animations.
• Minecraft version, nodes, keyframes, events, and commands are validated while loading.
• Invalid animation files are skipped independently without preventing valid files from loading.
• If multiple files declare the same emote ID, all conflicting files are rejected.
• /emote reload now reloads both configuration and animation files.
• Added a new timeline system for playing Display Entities relative to the emote position and rotation.
• Added per-node transform interpolation and visibility changes.
• Added server_sync mode to synchronize playback using the server game time.
• Event command sources and positions can be based on the player, server, emote root, or a specific node.
• Improved player state and equipment restoration when playback ends.
• Improved cleanup when a player moves, changes dimensions, or changes riding state.

Commands and Permissions

• Replaced command-name-based identification with full namespace:path emote IDs.
• /emote play <id>, /emote enable <id>, and /emote disable <id> now use exact emote IDs.
• The emote wheel, search menu, and command suggestions now use the new ID system.
• Renamed the default permission group from default to emote.default.
• * can be used to grant access to every enabled emote.

Configuration

• Replaced packs.json with emotes.json.
• The disabled list now accepts exact emote IDs instead of namespaces.
• Invalid configuration changes no longer replace the currently active valid configuration.

Fixes

• Fixed the emote wheel storing the last selected emote by command name instead of its full ID.
• Fixed the fallback emote menu not opening correctly before the server emote list was synchronized.
• Fixed the web converter preview camera resetting when the preview was recreated.
• Invalid Minecraft commands in animation events are now detected while loading.
• Invalid or conflicting animation files no longer prevent unrelated valid animations from loading.
