WaveMotes

Type : in chat and a popup appears — the same one you get with / commands, but full of emotes. Pick one and the rendered emote drops straight into your message.

✨ Features

  • Popup autocomplete. Type :, keep typing to filter (:sku → :skull:). Same UX as command suggestions — nothing new to learn.
  • Renders client-side. The built-in emote textures ship inside the jar, so they show up even when the server doesn't send a resource pack.
  • Bigger than text. Emotes are scaled up so they actually read as emotes.
  • Optional Discord emojis. 1900+ standard Discord shortcodes, off by default. Turn them all on, or whitelist just the ones you want (e.g. only :skull:).
  • In-game config. Tweakeroo-style On/Off switches. Open with /wm or bind a key.
  • One jar, no bloat. Only needs Fabric API. No malilib, no YACL.

🎮 How to use

  1. Type : in chat → popup opens.
  2. Filter by typing, pick with the mouse or Tab/Enter.
  3. Configure with /wm (or bind a key under Options → Controls).

⚙️ Discord emojis

1900+ standard Discord shortcodes, drawn in color in-game with bundled Twemoji textures. They're off by default to keep the picker focused on the built-in pack. Enable them all, or whitelist individual ones from the config screen. A few hundred multi-codepoint ones (most flags, family/ZWJ sequences) render as their components locally but still travel correctly to Discord.

📏 Emote size

Every emote shares one size, so changing it is a single find-and-replace. The jar is a zip: open assets/minecraft/font/default.json and change every "height": 16 (bigger = bigger emotes); "ascent": 11 moves them up/down (rule of thumb: ascent ≈ height − 5). Restart and done. Building from source? python tools/set_emote_size.py 20.

🖥️ Want everyone to see your emotes?

The client mod renders emotes for you on any server. If you want other players to see your custom emotes, that needs a server-side setup (resource pack + chat bridge) on a dedicated server or VPS — it can't be done on locked-down shared hosts like Shockbyte or Aternos. That server-side piece is part of the CodeW4VE project.
