SimpleEmojis

SimpleEmojis is a lightweight Minecraft server plugin that allows players to use Unicode emojis in chat by typing simple placeholders like :skull:.
No resource packs are required — it works purely server-side with default Minecraft Unicode support.

• Replace placeholders like :skull:, :heart:, or :smile: with their Unicode emoji equivalents in chat.
• Easily configurable emoji mappings via config.yml.

• Compatible with other chat formatting plugins; keeps your prefixes and colors intact.
• Tab completion for main commands and emoji placeholders.

Installation

1. Download the latest SimpleEmojis .jar file.
2. Place it into your server’s plugins folder.
3. Start or reload your server to generate the default config.yml.
4. Customize emojis in the plugins/SimpleEmojis/config.yml file or use commands.
