[Feature]: Support Emoji translation from MC chat -> Discord chat
CorneliusCornbread opened this issue · 9 comments
🚀 Description
Currently, typing out :emoji: in MC chat and having a emoji in Discord with the exact same name does not convert to that. This means mods like Emojiful work going from Discord -> MC but not vice versa.
💡 Use Case
Better integration with mods like Emojiful
Found this too: InnovativeOnlineIndustries/Emojiful#132
As far as I am aware, emojiful does NOT support custom emojis going from mc -> discord, only discord -> mc if you create a custom data pack for it.
We already fully support emojiful as far as possible

Right but if you could convert from the :emoji: format to discords emoji that'd be sick. DiscordSRV supports it.

We already do this, but can't do it for custom emojis, because Emojiful is missing the critical data needed for this to work. The dev of emojiful has confirmed as much. We are working with him to get it supported.
The issue is that discord does NOT use the same
:emoji:format for custom emotes, but rather uses<a:emoji:9350350325703753>for them
Well the way DiscordSRV does it is it seems to look up the emoji name and convert it for you. Maybe they're querying the servers they're connected to do so?

Just to add here as well, I mentioned this on discord:

Yes, this is possible, but, you would be limited to the emojis in your own discord server, since currently SDL can only function with a single discord server.
You will also run into the issue where a custom emote, and built-in emote can share the same name. How would cases like that be handled? Do we always favor the custom emote, or always favor the built-in one? Either one we pick will have someone complaining about it.
I marked this as on hold, because emojiful is considering adding the stuff we need to make this work properly, and I would like to have official, proper support as well

If someone who owns a server duplicates the name of a custom emote with a standard emote they could literally just change the name of the emote, it sounds to me like a user error issue rather than anything else.

Fair enough, full integration would likely work best tbh.
