When you try to use an emote from the emote wheel in the Essential mod, an animation for WATUT is playing the "open chest" animation which I think overrides the trigger for the emote you want to use from Essential.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have Essential & WATUT
2. Open emote wheel
3. Select an emote -emote doesn't play-

Expected behavior
To not have the "open chest" animation trigger for Essential's emote wheel.

Mod and Minecraft version:
Without this your issue will likely get closed for lacking enough info.

• Version:
  Minecraft 1.20.1
  WATUT 1.20.1-1.1.1
  Essential 1.3.2.2

I try to press R to open the emote wheel and just get "Essential Network Error" at the bottom right, cool mod, guess I wont be fixing this.
