Chat Emotes Mechanics

Chat Integration

When a player types a supported emote code (e.g., Kappa) into the chat, the mod intercepts the text and renders the corresponding image in the chat history. This works on any server because the transformation happens locally on the client's screen.

Client-Side Nature

Because the mod is client-side only, it does not add any physical blocks, items, or mobs to the game world. It functions strictly as a UI enhancement. If a player without the mod is on the same server, they will simply see the text code (e.g., "Kappa") instead of the image.

Emote Rendering

Emotes are scaled to fit within the standard chat line height. The mod supports animated GIFs (in certain versions) and high-resolution PNGs, though they are typically downscaled for readability.
