Simple emojis like 😭 get translated into rectangles when viewed from minecraft for me, I would rather disable translation altogether and just see :sob: so I know what was being said.

Yup, it's just the built in discord emojis that's broken

The only way you'd be able to disable it, is to set

#Convert Discord to MC, and MC to Discord Formatting
    formatting = true

to false.

Otherwise, you can install the Emojiful mod client side, and you will see the emojis

I do have emojiful actually, it converts :sob: just fine, but cant convert the unicode character. Also I already tried disabling formatting, it disables formatting for things like bold/italic text and code blocks and such, but does nothing for emojis.

We got a similar report on discord earlier today.

It looks like discord started using unicode emojis, instead of the old style :smile: emojis, which emojiful is looking for. I'll have to find a work around to get the emojis working again, or just stripped completely.

BTW custom emojis still work, they are passed as :customemojiname: as expected.

Issue fixed in 3.2.2
