Emotes in Minecraft JAVA
Create your own emotes in Minecraft.
If you use Emotecraft 2.2.x(-snapshot), you'll have to manually install required libraries:
You can ask questions here, but I'll respond slowly.
Builtin emotes
There are default emotes like waving
Custom emotes
you can create your own emotes and play them
Emote server synchronization
You don't need to send the custom emotes to everyone to play them
Blender and Blockbench emote creator tools
more about this here
or just download the tools
Setup
"download the mod and put it into the mods folder"
You need to install the mod both on both the server and the client.
But You don't need to use the same server and client modloader*
For example emotecraft with a Forge client will work with a Fabric server
You can also use Bukkit servers, download the plugin here
With Emotecraft you can connect to vanilla servers, it just won't do anything.
Usage
by default, press B to open the emote choose wheel
Install custom emotes by putting them in into .minecraft/emotes folder
(Just press Open emotes folder in the mod's config screen to open the folder in your file browser)

*Only with 2.0 and newer Emotecraft versions
