Emoji Type Mod (1.21.11, 1.20.1) – Using Emojis and Special Characters

Emoji Type Mod makes text input in Minecraft more practical when you want to use emojis and special characters in chat, signs, books, anvils, and similar fields. Instead of adding a separate emoji system, it streamlines access to characters the game already supports, which means the symbols remain visible to other players and still stay in place even if the mod is later removed.

Key Features

  • Typing a colon : in chat brings up emoji keyword suggestions, making it faster to insert supported symbols without memorizing every character.
  • The same keyword system also works in other text fields such as anvils, signs, and books, even though the suggestion list only appears in chat.
  • The mod supports more than 100 Unicode emojis and symbols that Minecraft already displays, focusing on easier access rather than adding new assets.
  • Typed emojis persist in saved text and remain visible to all players, including after the mod is removed.
