Iconic
Upload your own icons to chat, fully client side!
The following document is relevant for Iconic 2.0.0.
Using the Mod
To insert an icon into chat, begin by typing :. Autocomplete suggestions will pop up.
Upon sending a message with icons, the icons will be sent to other clients, which will then show it on screen.
The mod works by hiding an icon id in the chat. If the actual chat message sent exceeds the maximum length of 256 characters, a warning will be shown. Don't icon spam too much.
These commands also support including icons:
/me, /msg, /teammsg, /tell, /tellraw, /tm, /w, /reply, /r, /last, /l (last 4 are common reply commands on servers).
Adding Your Own Icons
Add icons by clicking the star button at the bottom left of the chat bar. A directory will be opened where you can add icons.
Alternatively, navigate to your dotminecraft and open the icons directory.
Icons over 1 megabyte will be rejected. Only images in the .png format are accepted.
If an image is wider than taller (width > height), or the image is wider than 256, it will automatically be corrected to a 256px width square image.
Alternatively, you can use one of the provided icon generators:
Icon Generators
URL
Downloads an icon from the internet by URL, and saves it to the icon directory as a PNG.
Usage: /iconic url [icon name] [url of image]
Player Skin
Generates a 3D render of a player skin.
Usage: /iconic player [player name or UUID]
PetPet Animation
Adds the petpet animation to any other icon.
Usage: /iconic petpet [other icon name]
Built-in Icons

Animated Icons
Icons can be animated too! Here's how:
Adding Animated Icons
To add an animated icon, create an image with a height greater than the width. For example, a 64x256 image would have 4 frames, each 64x64 pixels.
Each frame is rendered for approximately 37.5 milliseconds (0.0375 seconds), and loops after reaching the last frame.
Here's a tool you can use to convert a gif into an icon that can be used.
Make sure to set Tile Alignment to Vertical and Tile Size to 256x256 (or a smaller square).
