Emotify 0.9.0-beta.1

This release adds NeoForge support for Minecraft 26.3, including the new rendering pipeline, full improved transparency support, and the updated server configuration type.

Highlights

• Added a dedicated NeoForge build for Minecraft 26.3 with client, singleplayer, and dedicated server support.
• Reworked emotion rendering for the 26.3 ordered submit pipeline. Emotions are now drawn after translucent terrain, so water, portals, and other translucent blocks no longer show through them.
• Added support for Minecraft's improved transparency mode with dedicated Emotify shaders and order-independent translucency pipelines. Emotions now render correctly in both transparency modes.
• Adapted the emotion picker to the new 26.3 mouse and keyboard numbering: left click and the 1–9 keys select a quick slot, right click clears it, and the picker scrollbar and settings focus handling work as before.
• Moved the server configuration to NeoForge's synced configuration type. The file is now config/emotify-server.toml and can be overridden per world through <world>/syncedconfig/emotify-server.toml.
• Built against NeoForge 26.3.0.88 and Kotlin for Forge 6.4.0.
• Kept the Emotify protocol, the client configuration in config/emotify-client.toml, the emoji catalog, and animation timing unchanged, so 0.9.0-beta.1 stays compatible with existing client settings and other Emotify clients and servers.

Requirements

• Minecraft 26.3
• NeoForge 26.3.0.88 or newer
• Kotlin for Forge 6.4.0 or a newer compatible 6.x release
• Java 25

Players who want to send and see emotions must install the Emotify client matching their loader and Minecraft version. Other players can join normally.
