FAQ

Q: I don't like Emoticons' animations, but emotes are very cool. Can I disable them?
A: You can disable them in McLib's dashboard (Ctrl + 0, check for conflicting keybinds in Options - Controls, if it doesn't work) by enabling Disable non-emote animations toggle option.

Q: Will you downgrade/upgrade mod to other version of Minecraft?
A: No. It's gonna stay 1.12.2 (and 1.8.9) only.

Q: I'm using 1.8.9 version and it says something about "mclib"?
A: You need to install McLib for 1.8.9 so it would work.

Q: I'm playing with my friends on the server, and why I can't see them emote, or they can't see me emote?
A: In order to see other people emote, the server must also install the mod. No mod on the server, no people emoting.

Q: Can you add support with mod X?
A: No, I won't add support with any other mods.

Q: Can I add custom emotes myself?
A: Yes, watch this tutorial video! Those are not synchronized across clients though. You'll have to manually send these emote files to other people.

Q: Can you add custom music to emotes?
A: No, because I have no time/skill to make cool tunes for every emote, and if I use the original audio that would be illegal. However, you can replace the sounds in Emoticons' jar. Keep in mind that these sounds are going to loop.

Q: I saw emotes were used in a Minecraft client. Are they allowed?
A: Before January 18th, 2022, only Badlion Client, Lunar Client, Crystal Client, and a couple of other purchased a license to use my work in their software for profit. Other clients were doing that illegaly (like kraft rise and kristalix clients).

Q: Can I use this code in my Minecraft client?
A: Read the license, and make a conclusion on your own.
